It's been a while since the latest Microsoft-should-open-source-Windows article, so SJVN felt compelled to write one. "Although Microsoft may claim otherwise, Vista, from both from a technical and business point of view, is proving to be a failure. Why not turn it over to people who have shown time after time that they can deliver the goods?"

More like 1 billion. But I was more thinking in terms of area, but okay. We are thinking population in stead. And no. China is still not a major part of the world. It is a minor part since a major part is strictly speaking more than 50% 
We can make a compromise and say China is an important part of the world. That would be reasonable.

China, and India, and most of Africa, most of Russia, North Korea, Brasil and many other South American countries, Pakistan and most Middle East countries, Indonesia.. how much is that, all added up?

LOL This is really funny

It's the people that use computers, you know.

Add all those countries and many more and tell me is it not more than 50%? It is. Majority of the world lives in poverty compared to countries like Denmark.
You really are ignorant, sorry to say that again.

I meant in terms of quality. Good quality and bad quality software. Just like the atomic bomb cannot be bad or good since it is merely a thing so can software not be a bad thing or good thing.
Only the usage of things can be bad or good.
I think we agree in that regard?

China has what, 2 billion habitants? That's a major part of the world.
"But it still doesn't mean that persons in the second or third world is pirating Windows because Linux is bad."
No such thing as "good" or "bad" software.
