Indian S''ware Industry gets tough on piracy

NEW DELHI: Microsoft Corporation India Pvt. Ltd today announced a campaign to make genuine software easily accessible to discerning consumers.

The consumer promo campaign is on offer from IT industry players, Dell, HCL, HP, Lenovo, Sahara, Wipro and Zenith.

The initiative represents a two pronged concerted attempt by industry leaders, to both reiterate the value of genuine software as well as educate unsuspecting customers about the pitfalls consequent to the use of pirated software.

‘Asli Widows ka Asli offer’ is an innovative program under which customers who purchase an original Windows PC will have an opportunity to win exciting prizes everyday – including PCs, true flat monitors and world space receivers.

In addition, customers will be entitled to gifts worth Rs 4000 (two months off on a Broadband connection and discount on antivirus software). Some PC manufacturers would also offer an enhanced three-year warranty on PCs running original Windows XP software.
