*snif* *snif* What's that smell?
The price cut is the company's latest effort to tackle the rampant software piracy in China

I smell something...is there a stockyard around here? All that vaunted product activation and reactivation, all the hoops MSFT puts you poor users through to keep your software working at all, and piracy is still a problem in China? How is it they're getting around the product activation?

There's something really not right about this story.

But the funny part is you get to pay more for the same product, just because you can! ROFL! Once again MSFT users take it in the shorts. lol. It's funny in a slapstick kind of way.
