RSSMicrosoft, Vietnam Sign Anti-Piracy Agreement
By the Betanews Staff | Published May 21, 2007, 3:12 PM
Microsoft said Monday that it had signed an agreement with the Vietnamese government that would require its government offices ensure they are running genuine copies of the Redmond company's software. The country has one of the highest rates of piracy, according to recent studies. The partnership came the same day as another with the state-run Vietindebank banking chain.
Microsoft has put a lot of focus on Vietnam in recent months, with Bill Gates recently visiting the country to address the piracy issue with government leaders. His visit resulted in the signing of an anti-piracy agreement with Vietnam's Finance Ministry.

|ph***ing Micro$oft! The biggest software company and corporation in the world once again doing what they do best: Milking people's wallet! I can't believe this crap. I mean, am I the only person that think M$ is the greediest, most full of sh*t company in the world?? Just the other day I was taking a walk at the mall and saw this guy buying a copy of Vista Ultimate for $500! That is A LOT of money to spend on an OS!! No wonder M$ are constantly at war against piracy; who wants to pay that kind of money for such a thing?? Are people going dumb or what? Linux is free! OS X is $129! There! Enough said. I-LOVE-THIS-COMPANY...YEAAAAH!!
