According to an article published by Computer World on August 8, Window’s XP operating system will officially “retire” next year. While this announcement affects all countries worldwide, China now faces a particularly large predicament due to the fact that by July 2013 72.1% (three out every four machines) of all computers in China were still using the XP operating system.
While computer owners worldwide have begun migrating to a new operating system, China still hasn’t begun to kick the habit of using XP. On August 8, 2014, when the system retires, computers will no longer receive security updates, hot-fixes or free or paid support from Microsoft.

What's the problem? Won't the Chinese simply pirate Windows 7 or 8 or whatever they want to change to?
