China should be more worried about stopping the gigabytes of spam pouring
daily out of the country than about viewing the source code of Windows.
Also, just because the Chinese government has seen the source code doesn't
mean that the source code is "open". Is Micro$oft going to show the Chinese
each and every change made? I don't think that's a practical option. Is the
Chinese government going to be able to have bits it doesn't like changed? I
doubt it.

In any event, it shows us all where Micro$oft's loyalty lies: with the
highest bidder. It also shows us that Bill Gates would sell his mother to a
lab for experiments if it helped tread on Open Source software.

I just want to puke when I see that kind of article.
