if random manager A is trying to look for a platform to use for his big departmental rollout, and he is considering Linux and Windows w/o really understanding Linux that well (can we all believe that a manager might misunderstand?;-) this issue _may_ make him choose windows.
No, not because he will go "ewww Commie folk bad, die die!" but for a variety of more complicated reasons:
The credibility of Linux is not enhanced by the PRC's alleged decision; rather than taking comfort that a country of 1+ billion's government is adopting linux, the manager may recall that the chinese government has a penchant for making these sorts of decisions not based on the merits of the issue, but based on ideological concerns. He may then recall the various ideological movements surrounding linux and could very well decide that linux is largely being touted for its philosophical purity, and as that is not a priority of his, discard it in favor of windows.
There are enough Linux users who ARE akin to the PRC government in terms of their fervor, and the entire FSF _does_ tout Linux primarily for ideological concerns. Indeed the merits-based approach ESR and the OSI have used have garnered them ridicule from RMS for precisely that reason.

The stockmarket will probably reward tech stocks for this, consider the following:
Microsoft has a huge P/E ratio (price to earning ratio) meaning the ratio of its worth to its earnings is insane...
this decision, in the minds of the stock brokers, means that revenue is going to shift between MS and other companies.
But those other companies have lower P/E rations, and hence for less money down, you get more of the profit... this is a good thing...
and when people compete for stocks, stocks rise.
when stocks rise, people buy them for their own sake. Yes this can be taken too far, but also realize that there are a lot of undervalued stocks in the tech industry.
For example (mind that I am a linux user) Be Inc.
Be is the prime example of a company that stands to win as a result of this decision. So will the clueful analysts attest. The clueless ones will not understand that there is a huge gap between standing to win and winning, and will buy the stock anyway...

have you ever been in a relationship? a real one, mind you? I do not mean this as a flame, but your comment does not address the issue.
give you an example. If I just got home, and am tired as shit, and I ask my gf to get me a glass of milk SHE WILL. Why is this? A few reasons: there is pure quid-pro-quo; she knows I would do it for her but much more important than that is that this thing called love is involved, and she does it simply because you want it. This does not make her a slave, because if you have ever been in love, men go that far and further in the name of love... and if you want to characterize it as both individuals being slaves to the other DAMN STRAIGHT!!!
> Grown breasts are worth waiting for.
He was trying to say, if you do not find a given woman attractive, still be nice to her. Ideally you would due to human compassion, but if so you would not need reasons, that comes from inside. Roblimo was giving you the amoral (though valid) reasons to act in a moral manner.
>If a woman finds you unattractive, dump her as quickly as possible.
No matter how PC and '90s we get, somethings are inherently true, regardless of how distasteful it sounds. Having been in a relationship where I genuinely like the girl, but do not find her attractive, I can tell you it sucks. (I am not a good actor, and I did not want to hurt her) If a woman is in that position she SHOULD dump you, but she may not be able to work up the courage/ not want to hurt you. Both of you would get more hurt if it went on, so the cogent advice is to give her a hand and initiate the breakup...
quite frankly my friend, the fact that you got moderated up to 5 scares me, because it means others feel like you. It does not mean that you will hurt others necissarily; you all are much more likely to get hurt.

If their decisions are not sound, they will pay the price; your position seems to ask for them to have NO responsibility for their actions...
Should this be illegal? I think so, you don't... so run for election, or write an op-ed...
You need to convice the plumbers and the doctors, not the CS folk, we are not a big enough portion of the population to matter, and we don't spend oodles of money in campaign contributions...

just because it did not work does not mean that they ought not try.

VERY different... and you do not need a const amendment to write a web page (or to hand out flyers) that is a right that ANY citizen, include Janet Reno, has...

The DoJ is NOT there to check and balance the various federal branches of government...
They are there to oversee nation-wide law enforcement, everything from hunting interstate criminals to litigating against those who break federal regulations...
this IS within their mandate, if you don't like it elect new public officials...
