Microsoft still struggles to convince and even force consumers to pay for a Windows license, but software piracy still exists in most countries all over the globe.
However, there’s a country where software piracy affecting Microsoft’s products has reached an unexpected threshold: Indonesia.
Andreas Diantoro, Microsoft Indonesia CEO, said in a statement that 97 percent of the local computers run the Windows operating system but sadly, 86 percent of them are actually relying on a
pirated version.
Out of the total 5 million computers sold in Indonesia in 2012, only 550,000 actually come with a paid license, while 4.3 million use a counterfeited version of the operating system.
“Only 11 percent are original users,” was quoted as saying by
tempointeractive, while also pointing out that his company can’t do anything about this.
