MS is for guys who dont mind slowing their computer down with virus/spy ware scanning software, and other tools that it needs to be as safe as a *nix.

Don't criticize the OS for poor administration. I don't run in Administrator mode like many users. And, by that same token, I don't suffer from malware, viruses, and other crap. There is nothing about *nix security that Windows doesn't provide. But you have to actually USE the protections, if they're going to be useful.

You worry about the national security risks of the Chinese getting hold of software, but it's okay as long as Microsoft made money off of it. Apparently everything has a price.

Straw man -- and you aren't listening. This has nothing to do with Microsoft. We favor trade trade, where it makes sense. But both GE and I are opposed to exporting stuff to China until they improve their human rights record and join the modern world.

Then you'd better talk to your namesake, because he's been relaxing all sorts of export controls, and his brother has been helping the Chinese move to a .13 process.
