China finds place to park dollars What do you think Russ - if they didn't pirate all that software, dvd's, etc etc - that could soak up a lot of thier dollars eh? Hubbard was just on CNBC saying the president was happy Jintao said they would start buying software and enforcing IP laws. How does HU get his 1.4 billion to be honest on the great pirate ship? I don't see it. My seattle friends say VISTA gonna make MSFT a fortune in china and here - the money will just roll in. I dont really see what Vista is going to do for me as a stock trader, deathmatch game player, or SI poster - do you? informationweek.com Chinese Piracy Law Helps Windows; Gates Hosts Chinese President A new Chinese law mandates all computers sold in China must have paid and preinstalled operating systems. In related news, Chinese President Hu Jintao visits Microsoft this week. By K.C. Jones TechWeb.com Apr 17, 2006 03:16 PM The Chinese government recently passed an operating system mandate to cut down on software piracy. The government is requiring that all computer sellers include paid and pre-installed operating systems with purchases, according to Chinese media. Most news reports attributed the information to Microsoft Corp Vice President Pamela Passman who granted interviews as Chinese President Hu Jintao prepared to visit the United States this week, including a visit with Bill Gates' at the Microsoft chairman's home near Microsoft headquarters in Washington state. One of the China's largest computer manufacturers signed an agreement to sell all of its computers with Microsoft Windows operating systems, according to the People's Daily Online. Blogger and technology writer Aalaap Ghag is already asking: "Will the assembler have to buy paid versions of Linux?" Chinese media reports about the new law fail to mention the free, open source operating system, which has been popular there. According to Chinese media, so-called "naked" computers usually end up running on pirated versions of Windows. Chinese government workers are leading the way in the effort to reduce intellectual property theft by requiring that their computers come with the software and certificates of proof.
