Microsoft Sees 30 - 40% revenue Growth in South Asia. === Microsoft Sees South Asia Growth By Jacqueline Wong SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) expects revenue from South Asia to grow 30 to 40 percent a year and sees demand for technology and declining piracy rates in the region aiding its bottom line, its director for South Asia said on Tuesday. ``Asia has been very a good contributor to Microsoft's growth over the last two years after the crisis and we expect this to continue,'' regional director Christophe Aulnette told Reuters. South Asia, which includes India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam, was one of the fastest growing regions for the software giant and accounted for about two to three percent of its global revenue. ``Thirty to 40 percent (year-on-year) is the kind of growth we expect,'' Aulnette said.
