Sun gets 200 Million desktops

[Paul Taylor]

Sun Microsystems is deploying 1 million.

"China has promised to eventually install 200 million copies of open
standards-based desktop software."

Nothing mentions Sun will get their 200 million. With China's track record
it wouldn't surprise me if they paid for 1 million licenses and installed
199 million unlicensed version (it is open source after all...).

Definitely a slap in Bill's face...and a solid kick in the groins to boot.
