  Chinese startup takes aim at Microsoft Office
Time: 08:25 EST/13:25 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim

It took Gus Tsao nearly nine years to raise enough money to launch his China-based technology startup, Evermore Software LLC. Now the 59-year-old immigrant is poised for an even tougher mission: beating Microsoft Corp. in the Chinese market for office software, and maybe taking a tiny bite out of the Redmond, Wash.-based giant's dominance elsewhere. "Everyone thinks I'm crazy to take on Microsoft, but China is not going to pay Microsoft forever with their prices," Tsao said.

In your dreams, Yaowee Tsaoee!

The problem with the proposition to sell any intellectual property in the orient is that piracy approaches 100%! In most coutries in the orient you can find a "software" shop in almost any small town where stolen software sells at a fraction on the dollar of the price of the product if sold in the United States. Making matters worse is that the governments in this region of the world look the other way except in the cases where they have no choice but to make arrests and then, only apprenhending low-level "merchants." Try, however, to sell a GM car in Japan, for example, and these same government officials are all over it with BS complaints and trumphed up "violations", etc. to "fail" the product at point of entry.

Meanwhile, Americans blissful buy products from the orient and elsewhere and then, complain that jobs and whole industries are going overseas and they can't find a decent paying job here in the United States.

Hello! Wake up!#~#~??
