According to MS CEO Steve Ballmer, "What's good for the local industry in every country is good for Microsoft", especially when that other country is actually promoting and developing home grown Linux. From the article it looks like MS is willing to overlook China's legendary software 'sharing' as long as the government stays tight with Windows."

    Ok, so there is rampant piracy in China and they get fucking rewarded with a fat fucking check?

    Fuck that shit. No sir I won't calm down. We are a free nation but we get the BSA and they get a fucking check?

    Isn't this some fucked up shit? They can't even obey US anti-trust laws and they still go on with software "raids". Fuck that.

    I guess criminals stick together. Fucking bastards.

    Bull shit.
