Kai Fu Lee who is now the President of Google China started the research lab and today the lab has become a very important source of innovation for the company. See more on the research lab here: http://research.microsoft.com/research/china/MSRAOverView.aspx If you're interested in China's homegrown OS initiative: http://english.pladaily.com.cn/site2/columns/2006 While most have exited the OS market, its good to see others enter the market. As most would agree, I think there are still innovations out there that could make a computer easier and more productive. I wonder if it supports English? Concerning piracy in China, over the past couple of years in Beijing, I have come across fewer and fewer stores blatantly selling pirated software.
