Yes WPA is a nuisance, but how many XP licenses do you think they would sell in China without it?

They'd sell about the same number of licenses. Most copies of XP in China (and many other countries) are pirated. WPA didn't stop that.


On the other hand, the new law in China that requires that all new computers come with an OS preinstalled means that we'll see millions of new Linux users. With OEM versions of Linux you don't need to worry about hardware compatibility or hunt the web for drivers. It won't be long before those computers will find their way to the rest of the world.
