That's it! But not only poor areas, only companies and laptop users
run genuine software. Brand computers (Dell, IBM, etc) are only
purchased by multinational corporations. I used an original copy of
windows for a work in a big corp, not even un goverment offices (kinda
fun). I think that the same scenarios goes for all latin america...
Venezuela, Bolivia and Cuba are in "delicate" positions regarding
freedom of speech. Chavez already closed a TV channel =D

For the PNG thing, we can use the PNG with transparent background and
in the <head> tag include:

<!--[if IE 6]>
<script type="text/javacript" src="source_to_script_that_fix_that.js" />
<![endif]-->

No new image is needed, those javascripts "fix" it.
