Only 244 Genuine Windows Vista's Sold in China

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-good-odds dept.

You heard that right, and that's the number quoted from the headquarters of the Windows Vista chief (90% national volume) distributor in Beijing."

    Ok, 244 are so far but they were probably bought it to make pirated copies of.
