No software, so no piracy, so no problem, now we can join WTO and avoid US trade sanctions.
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/business/columnists/gmsv/7139304.htm Vietnam implemented a trade agreement with the United States in 2001 that requires the government to bring down the piracy rate. And the government also needs to do that to meet its goal of joining the World Trade Organization by 2005. Microsoft Windows and Office cost at least $140 in Vietnam -- way out of reach for most people, where the per capita annual income is roughly $420. ...so a lot of it got stolen. How do we solve this problem? We take the vulnerable software out of the loop, no worries? ``We are trying step by step to eliminate Microsoft,'' said Nguyen Trung Quynh of Vietnam's Ministry of Science and Technology. Laugh? I dang near fell off my chair! (-: Quick, send them a fixed 9.2 ISO set! Cheers; Leon
