"Red Flag Linux has turned out to be little more than a key bargaining chip in a high stakes game of commerce between the Chinese government and the world's largest software maker. Thanks to some major concessions on source code and a precipitous price drop, the Chinese government has now thoroughly embraced Windows and Office. And thanks to a major about-face in the way that it deals with piracy, Microsoft has also won over the Chinese people."

Windows is used since 20 years by the public, Microsoft has nothing to prove here ...
You honestly believe that? I've been removing spyware and viruses and just making pcs generally usable for the average user for 10 years. Why? because windows isn't ready for unadministered use by the public either.

This is a matter of opinion. One could say the same thing about Windows.
