In a startling move, representatives of the Redmond based organization Microsoft, announced that they are taking a bold new initiative to fight losses caused by Linux. "Some areas have decided to adopt Linux exclusively for businesses and government systems, even going so far as making Linux the official operating system of the country and banning Windows, as in the case of China. We think this is wrong, and we will fight tooth and nail to preserve fair trade and competition." No word as yet from Chinese officials regarding the suite, but expect a quick reprisal from the Linux community.

You almost had me. The topic was interesting, and sounded quite plausible after reading your paragraph, but I knew something was up when I saw all the white space underneath your post. You should have posted some pictures there, like idk a office in asia or something like that. MS pic. Something to fill up the white space.

The white space is what gave it away for me. You almost had me if it wasn't for that white space making me go hmmm... today is the first, controversial issue, and lots of white space. APRIL FOOLS lol. Sorry, but almost :D

I would actually like china to ban windows. It would totally force drivers for linux to be made.

Then it would move on to full drivers for all the new video cards made by the video card companies, then valve would make a directx alternative for linux that would blow the socks off of anything that microsoft could ever offer. The tables would turn, around 25% of people would have macs, 25% windows and 50% would have linux. We would never have to pay for an operating system again, valve would be the biggest gaming company on the face of the earth, and we would never go hungry again!
