YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. Microsoft is taking measures so
that in Armenia computers will be sold with the company’s licensed
software. Grigor Barseghian, Director of Microsoft RA company –
Microsoft’s Armenian representative, stated this at the February 6
press conference, adding that 25-30 thousand computers are sold in
Armenia each year. According to him, by late 2007 Microsoft will
offer the Armenian consumer the Armenian localizations of Windows
XP Professional operational system, Windows Vista new operational
system and Microsoft Office 2007 software. It was noted that in case
of retail sale of computers with the licensed software, the software
will cost a sum equivalent to 150-200 dollars, while in case of
selling the same software in a separate package it will cost twice
as much. G. Barseghian said that the fight against use of unlicensed
software will be conducted through explanatory work.
