In Brazil Windows is sold in DVDs with the official installer.
The newly installed Windows asks for activation and you just ignore it forever.
You can't choose a desktop background and are greeted with a "You may have been victim of software piracy" every now and them, but Windows Update works pretty fine.
You are probably right about the DVD containing modified images (with malware, probably) but they work OK.
- Laforet 9y agoNot the case in China when you could buy a "customised image" of windows that installs in 10 minutes and without all the nagging notification about activation and patching. There is a huge shady industry of preloading applications that were often borderline malware so the competition between different brands of custom image is quite fierce. Once of the reasons of aggressive patch installer pruning is because "my installation is 500MB smaller than yours" would take a great selling point.
