Microsoft Sells 20 Million Copies Of Vista WorldWide, 244 in China

The guys on Reddit pointed out that this was BS - that figure was from one small vendor, who was pleasantly surprised at how much it was selling.

It took me a while to see why that's funny. Only 244 legitimate copies in China, with most copies being sold for $1 on the streets.

I thought Vista has stricter ways of preventing and checking for piracy?
