No, this story isn't about Linux. Linux was used as a lever, but the story is about how Microsoft SOLD OUT TO THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS.
> ...at least Microsoft is working to make them pay something for it...
Oh really? Tell me, GE, just how much did the Chinese Communists pay Microsoft for the source code to Windows and Office? Give me the dollar figure, troll.
30 pieces of silver, maybe?
Then tell me why I, a patriotic, tax-paying American citizen, can't pay that amount and see the source code, and give it to all the software engineers in my company to "evaluate" and look for backdoors, like the Chinese Communists did? I'm willing to sign the same NDA, of course. Ha ha, the ChiComs use American business NDAs as toilet paper every day; this is no different.
How much, GE? Surely not just empty Communist promises. How many dollars? I'm thinking of taking up a collection.
And about that precipitous price drop for the Chinese Communists: Why the hell should I, a patriotic, tax-paying American citizen, have to pay full price for Microsoft's products, when Microsoft turns around and uses my money to subsidize the copies that go into Communist China? Microsoft gives away Windows and Office for $7-10 per copy, while I pay HUNDREDS! Student copies go for $3 in China; even the pirate copies aren't that low in the US!
Linux is not the issue or the topic here, troll. Microsoft's unprincipled giveaways to the Communists are the issue and the topic.
Take your hand out of Bill Gate's pocket long enough to realize that YOU DEFEND MICROSOFT EVEN WHEN THEY SELL OUT AMERICA. You show your true colors here, and your slavish devotion to Redmond disgusts me, not because it is about Microsoft, but because you reveal yourself to be totally without principle.
How many dollars did the Communists have to pay for the source code to Windows and Office?
I only want that dollar figure from you (or silver shekels, I can convert). Other than that, I'm done corresponding with you.
If you can't answer that question, then please just STFU, because you are not only without principle, you are also without a clue.
LMAO. It’s funny watching you meltdown since Microsoft is actually succeeding in selling software to China, rather than giving it to them for free to rename “Red Flag” as you and Red Hat prefer. Poor things LOL.
