Microsoft has reached a deal with Indonesia over the tens of thousands of pirated versions of Windows programs used in government departments.
Ministers said Microsoft had agreed an amnesty under which a token sum of one dollar will be paid for every computer found to be using illegal software.
In exchange, the government has promised to buy Microsoft merchandise legally in future.
Indonesia has one of the world's highest rates of pirated programs.
'Realistic' deal

Well at least much closer to the software's real value.
