Questions about Chinese Linux
If you were Chinese and you had a choice between bootlegged Windows and an operating system developed and maintained by your government, which would you choose?
Odd how many people who are very worried about Windows phoning home are welcome a product from the mainland Chinese. Is it because it's open source? How big does a trojan have to be? How well can it be concealed? How long before outside reviewers could discover it? What could outsiders do once it was discovered?

You might or might not have been trying to be incendiary, but I think you're onto something substantial.
