Microsoft employees disagree with both you and the NY Times. Insiders at Microsoft have reported a function VPN from China to the internal Microsoft development servers.
But let's for a moment assume that the NY Times article is completely accurate...
The Chinese Communists have complete and total access to 97% of Windows source code.
97%
And Bill & Co. just gave it to them. I suppose that's the least that he could do for a fellow traveler, eh comrade?
Yes, apparently some of them can view 97% of it under certain circumstances. Unfortunate, indeed, but if you're outraged about that, I can only imagine the hysterical frenzy you're going to throw yourself into when you find out there's something called "open source" where everybody over there gets 100% of it, to do whatever they want to with it, not just a select few viewing it. They can ALL copy ALL of it, resell it, rename it, you name it. Incredible, isn't it.
Are you OK? I hope you were sitting down, and didn't break something when I told you.
