EMPower Yourself with Microsoft Software For Penuts...

All you independent software vendors in Pakistan (worldwide too), get original, legal and authentic software from Microsoft for peanuts! Pay only the notorious amount of $ 420 around 24,000 Pakistanis bucks (Rs.) and EMPOWER your self with 1 MSDN Universal Subscription and 5 user licenses!

So don’t support piracy (if you were!) or stay behind due to lack of resources any more... and look at the upside, the only prerequisite condition is to commit your organisation to develop one (1) packaged application that natively supports at least one of the following Microsoft's platforms i.e., Windows XP, 2003, SQL Server etc.

Call in Microsoft Pakistan at +021 536 9101 (Karachi) and ask for some one to speak to regarding the EMPOWER program or get in touch with international (english) support on +49 52 45 88 22 24.

Prices are fine for developers, but what about users? Microsoft sells Windows + Office for 30 dollars in Thailand... while around here i've never ever seen a legal copy of windows for sale. I think it must have something to do with the prices... Windows+Office is about twice the average yearly income of a Pakistani (going by gdp).

Hi KO,

I liked your blog a lot, I read your rants on software piracy too. I guess you are right in there.

Microsoft is not interested in the indivisuals but currently after the big coperations and they have managed to get in with legal copies.

I am in touch with people at Microsoft Pakistan and I will pass your views to them.

Nice seeing you on my blog

I've always wondered what the MS actual viewpoint is about piracy and the local prices, so please do post about their response. Still, most likely till someone on high decides to do something things will remain more or less the same.
