Point in case, I've been trying to buy Windows 8 in Bolivia for the past three weeks and STILL can't buy it legally anywhere.

Every option has been exhausted and I'm kind of annoyed. I wanted to ditch my pirated version of Windows 7 and finally go legit now that I can afford it, but Microsoft just won't take my money.

A torrent just works.

I'm calling this 'the oatmeal argument' and it has considerable force.

Is Windows 8 not available for download in Bolivia? If so is that some silly regional trade reason? Or are network speeds too low?

Windows 8 isn't available for sale, for some reason. I don't know why. I can download a Windows 7 pirated version easily in 7 hours, I doubt network speeds are the culprit here.
