Chinese Users Angry over MS WGA
“Why is Microsoft automatically connected with my computer? The computer is mine!” one angry blogger wrote on popular Chinese web portal Sina.com. “Microsoft has no right to control my hardware without my agreement.” Another blogger railed over the cost of authorized versions. “If the price of genuine software was lower than the fake one, who would buy the fake one?” he wrote. A visitor to a Beijing internet cafe said Microsoft was violating people’s rights. “If, when I’m programing, the computer screen goes black, that will probably cause some important information to be lost. Who will pay me for my loss then?“
