Asian Pirates Sell Microsoft's Next Windows System

JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia - Malaysia's brazen software pirates are hawking the next version of Microsoft Corp's Windows operating system years before it is supposed to be on sale.

Underscoring the scale of U.S. companies' copyright problems in Asia, CDs containing software Microsoft has code named "Longhorn" are on sale for six ringgit ($1.58) in southern Malaysia.

how good could it be if it's years before it's supposed to be released?

It will be full of bugs when it is released. I beta tested for microsoft before 98 came out we were still reporting bugs when they released it anyway. 98 se was just a fix of most of the problems that they knew 98 had when it was released
