China bans Windows 8

China has banned the use of Microsoft's latest operating system on government computers.

Like me, they, clearly, find it difficult to operate.

I have said it once and I will say it again W8.1 is the biggest load of cr** I have ever come across. I loaded it on my PC for 36 hrs now back to W7

Reading between the lines it looks as though China got the right hump with MS stopping support for XP which is still widely used in that land and are giving the finger to MS because of that in the form of snubbing Win 8.

Mind you, can't blame them, lack of XP support or no

This, Its not because its Win8, its because MS ****ed them off.

Yes, precisely. I think had MS kept supporting XP then China would have started purchasing Win 8.

Which makes MS mugs, it wouldn't have taken much manpower to support XP just for China and the potential for sales of Win 8 there are enormous. MS have shot themselves in the foot methinks.

Nevermind whether we like or dislike Win 8, this is a sales thing.
