Many corporations are proud to “partner” with the Chinese government.

Naturally Microsoft will reject the USA government’s requests for special monitoring, backdoors and controls built into Win 10.

For dedcades the Chinese just used pirated copies of Windows and other software. They use the same strong-arm techniques on companies providing online services too.

A good example of our government’s version of “free trade”.

Microsoft exporting/actually building an operating system for China is treasonous. In no way should any US high tech firm build an operating system that is specially developed for China’s Gov. The Chinese overseeing this obviously learned all they needed to know to build one on their own now.

The difference from that one and the one deployed elsewhere is registry settings.

Know who one of Microsofts biggest lobbyist is?
Americans for Tax Reforms very own Grover Norquist.
Does ANY ONE still believe those contributions we all sent to ATR way back when had anything to do with tax breaks for you and I??
Not just Microsoft, but GE, Fannie Mae......
This guy probably has more to do with picking our candidates than any GOP superstar in D.C. When anything is wrong on the right...pushing amnesty, building a mosque at Ground Zero, TPP and on and on.... somewhere in the background is Grover.
