China probably has 2 or 3 copies of XP. The rest are bootleg.

LOL, my first thought was - what do they care, it's not like they're paying for it.

ROTFLMAO! You beat me to it. And part of the reason that Iran had that little Stuxnet problem was the same thing.

I love my Linux boxes but no one in my family I've showed them to is willing to invest the time on learning curve. I get that. Part of the reason that Microsoft went so heavily toward the cellphone paradigm in Win8 was the notion that this was going to be - no, rather mistakenly that it already was - a sort of universal interface that would get around the learning curve problem. Metro proved them wrong, although it isn't actually all that bad on a datapad.

Nevertheless, I'll keep my Linux boxes, thanks. I'm a geek.
