A closer look at Open Source World Summit
,----[ Quote ]
| As a sidenote on Linux lack of success in
| China on the desktop, I have to mention a
| discussion end of last year with CS2C that
| has been doing OEM (original equipment
| manufacturer) deals for quite some time,
| which was just a way to avoid the Microsoft
| tax for some PC makers. For the first time in
| the company's history, people are actually
| keeping the preinstalled Linux system and
| using it, "forcing" CS2C to start a customer
| support line.

Microsoft willing to avoid China due to piracy
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer admitted his
| company is looking to expand outside of China
| due to the countryâs disappointing stance on
| software piracy that runs rampant within its
| borders.
|
| Shifting focus from China to other Asian
| nations is a risky gamble for PC hardware and
| software makers, as China has more than 1
| billion people â and a growing number of tech
| savvy consumers â but just 1 percent of
| Microsoftâs current revenue come from the
| country.
