    Beta News[^]:

    It’s fair to say China isn’t a fan of Windows 8. A few weeks ago, the tiled OS was banned from Chinese government computers, as part of a notice on the use of energy-saving products (if this sounds a bit vague, that’s because the reason given is).

    I leave the creation of an appropriate blurb to you fine readers. I all have is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I suppose that's a follow-on to this: http://www.codeproject.com/Insider.aspx?msg=4825265#xx4825265xx[^]

      You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

          Thanks to the NSA-hacks. What did the Queen propose we do with the NSA? (Yeah, it's different when a government does it, of course)

            The fact that support stopped? I doubt that it bothers them, there's always been little support on pirated copies. The fact that the NSA has it's nose in the major companies, their products, and the fact that the source is unknown makes each version of Windows a security-liability.

              Blurbs:

              • China says, "You can't touch this."
              • Why break in through a door, when you can use a window?

                Seems a reasonable precaution to me.

                - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
