As a Malaysian, I don't feel comfortable with this idea at all.
If one cannot afford the money to buy a BMW, it doesn't mean that that person is entitled to steal it, regardless of whether he/she is a machanic or a janitor.
Malaysians didn't steal BMW's, they shouldn't steal softwares, instead, they build cheaper cars so it's more affordable. They should look for cheaper solution, build a new OS or use the free alternative -- linux, free bsd, etc.
If they want the fancy feature of BMW, they should buy BMW, if they looking for something more affordable, they should buy local cars. If they want fancy (useless) features OS's from M$, they should buy it, if they couldn't afford it, use the alternatives.
