Micro$oft in Asia


Where I live, Linux isn't being used because Micro$oft software is copy. If Linux
was easy to just setup and use, this would not happen. Nobody here want to spend
all his time to make the computer to work, when Micro$oft just work easy.

first and foremost, MS cuts deals with governments all the time like in this situation, and
secondly Linux is a choice ... if you don't want to take the time to learn a superior
operating system such as linux, and think it is hard to setup then that is your choice ..
so just like i say to everyone else that has this point of view, and that is, microsoft
products were just has hard to get used to when you started using it because it was
something new to you and you had to learn it ... now if you are one of those people that
used MS products since you started using a computer then yes, linux might seem a little
harder to get up and running, but if you put the time in to learning it (just like you had to
when you started using windows, you will see it is
just as simplistic as anything else ...

It's the free market economy in China that makes your products so inexpensive. Used to be that way here in the U.S.A. long ago, before corrupt politicians started selling monopoly (or oligopoly) rights to the highest bidder(s). Comcast cable is overcharging so much they can afford to buy Disney outright, for example. Must be nice living in China nowadays. http://www.votenader.org/
