The "Chinese" just haven't been drinking the "Kool-Aid" long enough to know that there is nothing sinister about MS. MS just wants all their users to experience the "Joy of Windows!" rofl.gif

Wonder if those complaining feel the same way about their government control of other parts of their lives? Wonder how many of those people even know of the limitations that are being imposed just on their Internet access? dntknw.gif Maybe that's in the article... wallbash.gif
