Comment 148 for bug 1

In Kuwait and indeed, much of the middle east, everything is pirated. The irony of this is that legitamite, free software, goes unrecognized even as horrid copies (some that work, some that don't) of overpriced commercial software sell on the black market.

Secondly, there is no support, community or otherwise, as at best, most people are trained on a severely Micro-centric curriculum. Even Macintoshes are rarities.

Severe condition on this, with education being the only major stopping point; people get their machines built from scratch, and virtually all copies of windows are pirated anyway. Change the understanding of the businessmen and this would change drastically.
