China to Develop Windows Clone
jimmu writes "According to both The Register and The People's Daily
China is set to develop a windows workalike equivalent to Win 98, with full compatibility with Office 200 and Word. Apparently, 18 companies and universities have been working on the 2 initiatives, with a 1.0 version supposedly already released to certain government offices."
And thats a darn good thing, cause Microsoft is full of commies.
... China has 13 electrical engineers working on making a VCR. The Chinese are sick and tired of buying Japanese brand VCR's and will soon have a working prototype.
Why are they bothering with Windows 98? Just think, after they get Qihang 98 working, they can work on Windows Golden Dragon aka Windows ME

If anyone out there has had a hard time accepting that communism is a flawed, backward economic model, now you have proof...
I hardly think the Chinese goverment even acknowledges the US legal system and just disregards it as capitalistic "justice" for the rich, easy punishment for the poor. (Sad thing is they are prolly right with this, too...) :(
Uh. The opinion of freaking China as to whether the US court systems are, comparatively speaking, just and fair.
We'll go with the ol' grain of salt on this one.
All employees must wash hands before seeking equitable relief.
"Hacked by Chinese"
I don't know about the rest of the people commenting here, but I think that, if this is true, it's absolutely fantastic. Being a computer technician myself (who is devoted to Win2k when it comes to M$ operating systems), I can't say enough for the power of Windows 98 on low-end client workstations. As the Register article says, give it some halfway-decent memory management and you've got yourself a damn good OS.
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
(If by "Windows 98" you mean "BeOS.")
"And like that
From the year 200AD? That's some old shit.
