Exclamation China slams the door on MS

Quote:
A new policy by China's governing body the State Council will rule that all ministries have to buy only locally-produced software at the next upgrade cycle.
It looks like China's government is aiming for the break on dependance of MS products. I wonder how much of an effect this will really have on MS...

Probably not too much. If a law was passed that all Chinese businesses couldn't buy Microsoft stuff, that'd be a HUGE hit...but just the government shouldn't be too big of a loss.
