According to MacDailyNews, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer “blamed the pirates in China, India, Brazil, Russia and other emerging markets” for poor Windows Vista sales. What do you think?

Farrell reports, “He said that there was software within Windows Genuine Advantage which could be dialled up by [Microsoft] to make it even more tougher for the pirates to take out… Of course he is ignoring the fact that a lot of people are not buying Vista because it does not offer much more than XP and Windows Genuine Advantage makes their lives a misery. Cranking up WGA might backfire.”
