“Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer admitted his company is
looking to expand outside of China due to the
country’s disappointing stance on software
piracy that runs rampant within its borders.“Shifting focus from China to other Asian nations is a risky

1 billion people — and a growing number of tech savvy
consumers — but just 1 percent of
Microsoft’s current revenue come from the

other eastern nations in the next five years. These emerging
markets present a new revenue stream in upstart economies that
should provide better support against piracy.”
