Reasonable pricing? Considering that the average American makes, what, $35000 a year and the average Chinese $2000? To put it into perspective, Office costs 165 Yuan approx. A good monthly wage in Shanghai, the most prosperous and highest wage city (excluding HK) is 3000 Yuan a month. The price Chinese are paying are roughly the same, actually more expensive, than what Americans are paying for Office based on income.
This is why capitalism is such a good system, the best we've discovered to date. Microsoft doesn't care about fairness, it's pricing is to maximize total profits. But it needs buyers to get profits so it has to reduce the price to the point where buyers can afford the product. This turns out to be "fair" even though fairness never entered the pricing decision, it was an outcome thanks to how capitalism works. I'm talking about market based capitalism which depends upon competition. Windows pricing is not going to get the benefits of market capitalism since Microsoft has a monopoly and are able to avoid market forces. I recently had to restore my Windows XP, only problem is that I lost my PID code. It's hard to get that code off of my old computer without a working OS and Microsoft deliberately makes it very hard. It woudn't be able to do that without a monopoly, which is why competition is important, it is what makes capitalism work well and makes outcomes fair.
