Software piracy issue on the table
Hu’s visit comes as Microsoft, after years of battling widespread software piracy in the potentially lucrative China market, is hopeful that things are changing. Chinese government officials say they are serious about cracking down on sales of illegal copies of Microsoft's Windows operating system, and some computer makers are pledging to ship more computers with legitimate Windows software installed.

One of those companies, Lenovo Group Ltd., met Monday with Microsoft officials to reaffirm Lenovo's 5-month-old commitment to ship computers with genuine operating systems.


In an interview Monday with The Associated Press, Lenovo Chairman Yang Yuanquing said 70 percent of the computers Lenovo sells in China are now loaded with licensed Windows copies, up from 10 percent six months ago.

Guess Bill was missing a huge piece of the pie! That is why he is meeting with the Chinese pres. this week....

Some kick-backs should do the trick....

This was also on National Public Radio, it was somewhat disheartening to hear Lenovo mentioned in the same breath as software piracy. Guess what happens in China doesn't stay in China any more.
