Windows 10 in the Chinese government computers?... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Will MSFT cut them in on the data collection stream?

From the article:
Under the deal Microsoft struck with CETC, C&M will be the exclusive licensee of Windows 10 to government and select state-owned corporations. C&M will create custom Windows 10 images for those customers that will include government-mandated anti-virus software; provide activation and update services -- presumably based on Microsoft's current technologies -- as well as deployment services and support; and collect feedback to guide future updates and upgrades.

The customization could steer Windows 10 for C&M's customers in a different direction than the version that Microsoft delivers to others in China, the U.S. and globally. Feedback collected by C&M, said Microsoft, would be used to "inform the creation of the successive updates of the government Windows 10 image, which may be developed by the joint organization [emphasis added]."

They’ll buy one license and use it for the entire country.

I’ve heard Microsoft is still supporting XP in China.
