Nice find RANT!
Would not surprise me one bit.
One billion customers (mostly poor) coupled with the availability of $100 laptops (
UN debut for
$100 laptop for poor) and a central government that dictates which operating system gets to be sold in China means that they can make demands on
M$ or threaten to use one of the free Linux platforms.
Whatever their market strategy for China, M$ will not risk losing such a huge market defending something as anti-corporate as free speech.
.
Between this and the WMF exploit I have made up my mind that when I get my new computer later this month I'm going to climb the Linux learning curve.
