The Linux crowd will be ecstatic, since Red Flag Linux - the official operating system of the PRC - will now be their only choice.

Same thing will happen in India. Maybe not by government fiat but it will just make ecconomic sense. Who needs all those high paid morons back in the US who outsourced the life's blood of their companys?

At a special congress held to encourage ministries to upgrade to WPS Office 2003, a China-made office productivity suite, Gao said that only hardware pre-installed with domestic operating systems and application software will be purchased by government. Those seeking exceptions will need to submit a special request.

Does anybody out there know the quality and functionality of this China software stuff?

A new policy by China's governing body the State Council will rule that all ministries have to buy only locally-produced software at the next upgrade cycle.

The move, aimed at breaking the dominance of U.S.-based Microsoft on desktop computers, will eliminate Microsoft's Windows operating system and Office productivity suite from hundreds of thousands of Chinese government computers in a few years' time.

A nice payback for all this outsourcing!
