“In the midst of a crack-down on software piracy,… the demand
for legitimate software has gone up, and although local retailers
have been offering 80-90% discounts to local public and educational
organizations,… The general public… has been stuck with a
W110,000 price tag for the software [Office 2000].
“… Similarly, Microsoft Korea has been offering universities
90-95% discounts on its Windows 98, Office and Visual Studio
programs, bringing their prices to the W15,000-54,000 range.”
(At approximately W1200 per dollar, W110,000 equals $91, and
W15,000 – W54,000 equals $12.50 to $45 — ed. note)
