Beijing bans 'naked computers' and goes Microsoft

Sales of personal computers without software -- known as "naked computers" -- will be banned in the Chinese capital to reduce software piracy, the Beijing government said Friday. If you read the news post located here it seems that President Hu Jintao will be visiting Bill Gates this week about some Microsoft deals. Anyone else see a relationship between the two? ;)

Sales of personal computers without software -- known as "naked computers" -- will be banned in the Chinese capital to reduce software piracy, the Beijing government said Friday. The announcement came days before Chinese President Hu Jintao leaves for the United States, which is pressing China to crack down on rampant illegal copying of software, music and other goods. The ban will take effect by the end of the year.
