Why Gates Opened Windows in China
Why Gates Opened Windows in China
Bill Gates was in Beijing last week, meeting with President Jiang Zemin and other government officials and promising to give the Chinese access to one of most zealously guarded industrial secrets in Corporate America: the Windows source code. That's a big step for Microsoft in any country. In China, where piracy is rampant, it's a huge leap (see BW Online, 2/10/03, "China Learns to Say 'Stop Thief'").
