I think the real problem is not corporate licenses, but all those bootleg XP copies running in China (and who can blame them, XP is still a perfectly fine OS). MS should offer a free and legal upgrade to Windows7 for home/gaming use to get this somewhat under control.

Why? How is that their responsibility?

And what advantage would there be for them?

Not just China; probably also the rest of the known world.
