China Blocks Foreign Software Use in Government

A new policy by China's governing body will rule that all ministries buy only locally-produced software at the next upgrade cycle.

The move by the State Council is aimed at breaking the dominance of U.S.-based Microsoft on desktop computers, will eliminate Microsoft's Windows operating system and Office productivity suite from hundreds of thousands of Chinese government computers in a few years' time.

Nice little factoid, but it doesn't erase the fact that Microsoft whored itself to the Communists and gleefully altered its product to accommodate totalitarian demands.

Funny how you refuse to admit that FACT, sport.

Actually...it's more than funny. It stinks on ice. And it's very telling how far you'll go to cover for Microsoft.

So tell me...how much do they pay you to whore their malware in public forums, hm?
