Michael,

"From my experience with Red China, whatever yours are theirs and whatever theirs are theirs."

Sounds like standard business practice at BillCo to me. Microsoft may have read Sun Tzu's Art of War but China wrote it.

Maybe Bill will have to get tough with the Chinese and threaten to move operations back to the U.S. Or is it Canada this week?

20 years ago it was probably treasonous to sell a copy of DOS to the Red Chinese, now we are complaining that they won't take it.

The good thing about the upcoming presidential election is that the candidates are both idiots; we will have a great scapegoat for any problems with the Chinese.

Cheers,

Norm

I admit I have only limited experience with the people of Mainland China, but that experience indicates to me that, as much as I disagree with their political and economic systems, the people on a personal level are gracious and generous. I certainly did not encounter a "what's yours is mine" attitude in them.

Of course, that's JMHO.
