Re: [ros-dev] 4th scenario

Ok, I can understand if it has become uncommon in rich parts of the 
world like Europe and US,
f.ex in Italy, but the rest of the world would probably seem arcane 
computerwise to you.

Here in Southeast Asia where I live, many still run WinXP on their 
office workstations.
Likewise, they run Server 2oo3, if they indeed have legitimate licenses 
at all.
In the computer shops you'll only see Win10 OEM though, cause MS 
dictates it,
while the black market for cracked software of every kind is huge.

But this discussion is a bit moot, isn't it? :)

Wouldn't that make people MORE interested in using reactos if it becomes a
way for them to have NT6, without pirating or buying Windows?
