China Bans Windows 8

(Reuters) - China has banned government use of Windows 8, Microsoft Corp's latest operating system, a blow to a U.S. technology company that has long struggled with sales in the country.

The official Xinhua news agency said the ban was to ensure computer security after Microsoft ended support for its Windows XP operating system, which was widely used in China.

This apparently pre-dates the Justice department's action against China over hacking and tech theft. However, it does suggest a pretty big crack in the dam that could benefit open source operating systems like Linux.

Or maybe China wants to promote something of its own.

BTW Putin is due in China today.

Apart from oil contract they want to find ways to avoid Americana. e.g. Visa, MasterCard.

My first thought too.

Might just be 8 was to tough for them to crack. Or we had something in it to track the end user?



Barney

Good for them. I hate Windows 8. We should ban it too.

Dave

Some people claim windows 8 is a spying tool.

Anyway the Chinese were woefully underpaying Microsoft in terms of fee.

Windows 8's a clunk because every other Windows release is always a clunk.

You know Whell this president is creating so many Power Vacuum's & Enemies world wide all the while slapping allies in the face.

At home he is dividing the country and ginning up racial tensions. Using government power to suppress the masses. He lies about everything right to our faces.

It's looking more obvious to me he want's a civil war or a world war. At that point he would suspend any elections shut down congress and be a dictator. King fuckin Obama.

These countries are already dealing out of World Reserve currency. I hope your all ready for that outcome.

So, China banning Windows 8, a suck ass piece of shit operating system, is all Obamas fault and evidence that he is trying to provoke civil war?

And, I thought I was a crazy bastard. I got nothing on you................

You're rapidly approaching Pat Sayjak territory..........

Dave I love My 8.1 it works excellent,at first it was rough.but only A learning curve.

what the hell,you been drinkin little buddy?

Smokin'. :rolleyes:

I vam telling you all The Chinese do not fuck around the are like robots and show no emotion,But I do not think they are ready to show their hand yet.they are just testing the water.

This is really nothing. Most Chinese are using a bootleg copy of Windows since most overseas cannot afford the cost of a legit copy of OS. So outside of the government everyone else will still be on Windows there.

In the Philippines I saw a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate on sale at the market for about $3.

By not attacking the militias, by not sending troops to Ukraine

I dunno. That little Chinese chick I bought some garlic beef from at China King last night seemed very friendly, even laughed at my corny jokes. She was pretty cute, too. Twenty years ago, I would've been after that like a rutting buck....;)

Dave

if you want to get the gist of the chinese attitude then check out some of the comedians,they put out a vibe on the political climate in china.

Yeah, the aggression is shocking.........:confused:

Dave

Oh Gawd,Dave

well its lights out here ,after a fat piece of German Chocolate cake,Germans do dessert right.

I thought you were Cherokee? ;)

yes ,what Cherokees cant eat cake from Germany?

Chicken, you should have tried lol.

I will get into this later ,all I can say is China Is not the only Country with Hacking skills,it is all tisk for task.be back in the morning,Hopefully.

Good night Cleon. :)

A German Cherokee? No wonder...................

That's the 'creating power vacuums' part.

So here it is: if Obama exercises power, he's 'creating enemies,' and if he doesn't, he's 'creating power vacuums.' So all possibilities are covered. Everything is evidence of his evil schemes!

Vacuum

Afganistan
Egypt
Libia
Iraq
Ukraine

Obama Derangement Syndrome.

And if he had increased or initiated any action on those places, regime change or whatever, he would be.....What, Dan? Imperialist Dictator? Global Tyrant? What?

I await your answer.

Dave

No shit.:rolleyes:

Dave

Egypt Libia should of never had any US involvement. Have you noticed I never say anything about Syria except the dumb ass comment a red line BS.

Lame.

From the Swamp with love,

Dave

I really have not detected a Sentiment either way from Obama,he is playing this right Bynot showing any emotion at the chinese.
