Honestly, considering China/India, I think my figure has to go higher than not.

So you guessed? You don’t have any kind of way of confirming that figure? I see 37% from some studies. Microsoft itself has monetary estimates but no percentages of stolen software.

37% is very hard to believe with custom built PC. I don’t think more than 90% of all PCs are pirated windows machine. That can’t be. Plently of OEMs and laptops alone will break that number.

But how did you figure out that number. You don’t know everyone on Earth. What websites or facts did you use to throw together an assumption that so many people use with pirated gear?
