Microsoft Encourages Mongolian Piracy

It seems that the Microsoft Genuine advantage applies to everywhere in the world … except Mongolia. If you are a resident of Andorra, or Turks and Caicos Islands, or Svalbard and Jan Mayan (that would have to be 2,000 slightly frozen Norwegians and a similar number of Polar Bears) you can take advantage of Microsoft’s Genuine Advantage.

However, if you are resident in Mongolia, too bad. No such option exists on the Microsoft website. I guess Microsoft have never heard of Chinggis Khaan, even though there are more licensed Microsoft Products in use in Mongolia than the other mentioned locations combined.

Microsoft executives obviously never read the Biggles stories when they were young – even Biggles flew across Ulaanbaatar
