  23. Not Redmond, but vendors on The Pirated Software Problem in the 3rd World · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At least here in South America, when you buy a pc, it comes loaded with software, from windows and office to games, photoshop, autocad, etc (you name it they install it, of course they don't know anything about OSS).

    People barely can decide by themselves, mostly because if it's their first pc, they don't know anything about software so just try to get everything they could possibly need from start. If it's not their first pc, then all they know about software is what came with the first one, and ask for the same. Some people not even want the newer versions of the software they use, just the same they've been using so far.

    The same applies for companies, here people don't choose the software. It just happens to be in the computer and they use it.

    Just care about the truth, not what people believe. Since we can not prove anything about that. Who cares?
