Microsoft & Linux Should Co-Exist In China

Posted by Zonk on from the get-along-or-i'm-turning-this-country-around dept.

alabamarasta writes "In a recent report from China titled "Embattled Linux fights back", it appears that Microsoft is just as embattled." From the article: "Citing an executive at Microsoft headquarters, Lu said Linux and Windows should co-exist. Microsoft in recent years has been struggling with an increasing number of security flaws on its Windows platforms while Linux is generally regarded as more secure. 'For users, openness increases the trustworthiness,' said Lu."

    I know. Look at how much money is made from selling bottled water. That's a commodity if I ever saw one.

    It's quite unbelievable really. And the US has to be one of the worst cases. I mean consider how much is made by some major purveyors of bottled water in the US.
