Why are you so elated every time some foreign government announces they are going to use the foreign clone of Unix instead of the US original?

Far from elated......... I have a big problem with talking points. You’re not the first person I’ve run into who spouted the ‘communist government’ talking point.

Likewise, you’re not the only person I brought this to attention to.

Japan doesn’t have a communist government AFAIK. But I could be wrong, I’m not up on japanese politics.

Far from elated.....

Don't believe you, you're sole purpose on this site seems to be to push foreign software instead of the original US products it is replacing. If there's going to be a move away from the Microsoft standard it needs to be to other US products like Apple, not the free foreign clones backed by radical leftists you support.
