Vista Home For Everyone

MICROSOFT MALAYSIA is cutting the prices for its Windows Vista Home Basic and Home Premium editions, effective immediately.

While the software giant does not set a standard retail price for its products, users can expect to see reductions of 10% to 50%, depending on how they acquire the operating system.

Software piracy has been a major problem in this part of the world and this simple act of cutting price could potentially have lots more people choosing the original software over the pirated versions or known as the “Malaysian version” . Hopefully they extend this price cut to the whole suite of Microsoft products.

This would eventually cripple the pirated versions in the market and eventually set a original software mindset which then everyone can afford.

SP 1 is now available Here or you can call  1-800-88-6295 and get a DVD sent to you. Only if you have the original software installed of course

Microsoft Slapped with a 1.4Bil Fine!

Microsoft have been slapped with the record fine of $1.4 Billion!! Microsoft must now pay a record 899m euros ($1.4bn; £680.9m) after it failed to comply with a 2004 ruling that it abused its position.The ruling said that Microsoft was guilty of not providing key code to rival software makers.

EU regulators said the firm was the first to break an EU anti-trust ruling.The fines come on top of earlier fines of 280m euros imposed in July 2006, and of 497m euros in March 2004.

Thats a crazy amount of money for a fine but then again its nothing for a company of the magnitude of Microsoft!Ir should always be a even playing field and a monopoly can be nothing but bad for the consumer.
