China Upgrades from Microsoft Office
Badgerman writes "According to this Forbes article, fifteen Chinese ministries have started using a homegrown office software suite instead of Microsoft Office. The article also notes the Chinese government's encouragment of homegrown software and of a national Linux standard."
[offtopic] I can't see the problem with Osama using Linux. First day I see him using Debian, i'll say "way to go, man"... BTW, China sure has a repressive, dictatorial government, but they've come a long way in the last couple of (perhaps ten) years. I'm pretty convinved that eventually (with more bills like the DMCA or the Patriot Act) China might be a lot more free nation than the United States. (Hell, the time will come when we'll all migrate to China and ask for political asylum. Imagine the irony in that.) [/offtopic]
we discovered a new way to think.
And I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords!
No, for real. They will be running the world soon enough.
Is this post a misplaced attempt at humour, or misplaced racism? Very poor.
Every day, they force abortions do they not? Isn't that basically genocide?
Sock puppets stole my sig.
Abortions for a few reproductively irresponsible individuals are very different than wiping out entire ethnic groups.
