Yup. The starting price of an apple computer in India is almost 10 times the median salary of a young worker / executive.

You will not fine Macs in India, except in the 1%, or in movies.

I am sure that is true for most of South Asia.

It's Windows all the way down. There is a huge black market for pirated windows copies here and a decade back, the standard PC setup was a basic Intel based system, loaded with pirated windows os on a cd that costs about 2 USD.

I don't think you're using the word "executive" in the way that I usually understand it.
You realize the 1% of India is 15 million people, right?
