Well, time in Iran, specifically 2-3 months, is nothing!
We've waited a long time, we'll wait 2 or 3 months more.
Love you MS :)
windows store isn't available in your region for IRAN , Apple Store is not sanctioned for us why MS ?

Hi everyone ,
I'm a longtime user an a BIG fan of Microsoft , I've always notice that MS support Iranian language updates (Persian - Farsi) and everything like Proofing tools for Office or LUI for windows or office . but after I've installed Windows 8 (an incredible step MS .. way to go , nice job) I'm really sad that you frogot about IRAN , we can't use store without an active VPN connection (SO SO Slow in Iran) .
so my question is : As start of this year by the request of president Obama , some software companies that we were always in ther sanctioned list cleared us from those list , the big example of course is Apple ," yes we can download everything from apple without a VPN connection or a twisted workaround .." but why Microsoft is not letting us in IRAN to use windows store ? in the mean time we have to use VPN and it's very painful .
just a reminder . the more windows store user .. the more developer .. the more developer = MORE CUSTOMER and more Business advantage for Microsoft ..
please reconsider or give an honest answer .
and one more thing .. guys please don't forward me to this link.
BIG BIG FAN ,
Ashkan

2013-06-02T08:11:02+00:00 I heard there will be a change in the laws of some sort to allow companies to give service to Iran and Iranian users .
these things take times from a week to 2-3 month perhaps .
lets assume Microsoft doesn't forgot us .
so the wait begun .

yeah what ever,
sorry but its just playing with words and nothing else. If rule is rule, why many of companies and producers are trading with us??????? Even companies in us trades with us, these are not rules , there is no force on MS . I assure you that i know much more than you about ms politics cause i was part of them. Any way. Have a good day.
