Vietnam Courts Microsoft and Vice Versa

Posted by timothy on from the you-look-good-in-that-dress-no-really dept.

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."

    Now remember, nomatter what happens with Microsoft and the Vietnamese government or making censorship software for China, it's still Linux that's the un-democratic, commie OS that is against the principles of the United States, freedom, peace and everything that is fair and just.

    If you say otherwise you're just a commie too. Good freedom loving software is made in Redmond.

    perfectly grammatically correct
    It's grammatically correct. The only problem is, it doesn't mean what you think it does (if it means anything at all).

    "Could've" is fine, and correct, and actually means something.

    "I could of died", is the conditional of "I of died", which is meaningless.
