Microsoft and linux in China

[zuoheng]

I am from China. I have to say that the pirate software, Windows, Office,
and Photoshop, PC games do help this country to be more
open and catch up the information revolution. I can not image if
without pirated software, the Internet would
grow so fast during the past 10 years in
China. Though I love Linux, but it is obvious Linux was not good
enough for desktop back to late of 90's.

Maybe MS took it as a
strategy to dominate a under-developed market at the beginning time and gave
big tolerance to pirated software, now MS is making money in China.
I would like to say, it is a win-win for MS and China, while sad for Linux.
