Sun has to fight software piracy
Sun provides a low cost alternative to Windows with a new per citizen per year pricing model that allows developing nations to purchase license for their citizens. Unfortunatly, most of the developing countries have a high rate of software piracy: China - 90% . Eastern Europe - 71% , Latin America 63%.Even in western countries there is still much work to do: USA - 22% , Germany - 30% , Japan - 29%. BSA is leading the fight against software piracy, with worldwide members such as Microsoft,Intel,IBM andHP.
Had Sun joined the fight, maybe more citizens were using Sun's Java Desktop instead of an illegal copy of Windows XP.
