Really?
Then why did your point change?

From...
Except that Linux has given everything ...
... to the China including the source code. I recommend that you try to rent some sense because you sound like an idiot.

To...
You are correct about one thing.
They did make certain parts of their source code available to the Chinese government. You are wrong in that they do the same for the U.S. government and any others that require it. You are further wrong in that my comments were only intended to make the previous poster look like the dope he was being. The point, in case you missed it, is it is ridiculous to only use Linux because Microsoft is doing business with China. Do you agree or disagree?

To continue. Your first post was intended to make the other guy look like a dope, presumably because you used the words, "I recommend that you try to rent some sense because you sound like an idiot." So, you lied.

Next, I didn't say anything about what Microsoft had done for other governments, yet you inferred I did. Why? The topic is about China.

Lastly, I made no comment about the original poster's views. Yet you think I did.

Dude, learn to read, and don't lie, ok?
