Exactly. In addition, MSFT warned late last quarter, all of a sudden, they "surprise" big to the upside? What's that all about, did the Chinese put in an order for a billion copies of "Office" all of a sudden?<NFG>

The Chinese has already built a CPU based on Linux. Since the government doesn't want to rely on US tech, a lot of government agencies will use Linux in the future.
