Vietnam Courts Microsoft and Vice Versa
wbren writes "Bill Gates and Vietnam's Prime Minister Phan Van Khai have signed two 'memoranda of understanding' regarding Microsoft's presence in Vietnam, according to this AP story. They met Monday at Microsoft's Redmond headquarters for a closed door meeting and a tour of Microsoft's "home of the future". The agreement reached is expected to strengthen Vietnam's IT industry, as well as provide software training for 50,000 of the country's teachers. Khai's visit also triggered protests in Seattle, reminding everyone of Vietnam's human rights record."
Microsoft vice-president Lyndon Johnson was keen to point out that the first 21,000 people that MS have sent to Vietnam were not classified as salesmen, but are merely civilian "advisors".
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
Windows VC is just another name for Windows ME.
Because if you buy it, you end up looking a right Charlie.

What is this "could of" expression you keep using? What does it mean?
I courted Mike Rosoft's sister Minnie for a while. She sure was pretty to look at but turned all shades of blue anytime I suggested trying something new.
Had to dump her in the end though because she was simply the most vain and jealous woman I'd ever met...always wanted to monopolize everything.
Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once.
... that Charlie will surf, and with Internet Explorer?
Microsoft: Hey, you got operating system, Vietnam? We love you long time!
Vietnam: What do we get for ten dollars?
Microsoft: Everything you want!
Vietnam: Everything?
Microsoft: Everything!
I'm quite sure that MSIE will ensure Charlie don't surf!.
Your spelling is scarry as well.
Hey, Vietnam, M$ so stable. M$ so safe. Vietnam looks M$ over. M$ so cheap. M$ profit you too much. Hey, what you say? Number one OS. M$ love Vietnam too much." "How much!" Vietnam asks. "Fifteen dolla." "For all of us?" "No, each seat fifteen dolla."
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
I wonder what words they'll ban in Vietnam? Will they ban "freedom" and "democracy" like they did in China? Or will they add "human rights" to that list as well?
-- The reason it's called the right wing? Irony.
You do go on and on with your unfounded speculation as to my position, don't you?

The only title of honor that a tyrant can grant is "Enemy of the State."
Fuckie fuckie five dollars?
How many Windows XP Pirates had I already turned in? There was those six that I know about for sure. Close enough to blow their last breath in my face. But this time it was an American and an businessman. That wasn't supposed to make any difference to me, but it did. Shit... charging a man with software piracy in this place was like handing out speeding tickets in the Indy 500. I took the mission. What the hell else was I gonna do?
