Microsoft to continuously lose big money in China?
After the No.1 PC manufacture in China, 'Lenovo', decided not to bundle Windows in its PC for small cities and villages (announced on 3rd, August), another big manufacture in China, 'Founder', decided not to bundle Windows in its new fashionable T series PC (announced on 6th, August). Will other PC manufactures also do like this? It will cause Microsoft's takings in China continuously decrease greatly. It's forecasted that Lenovo will sell 1 million such kind of PC in 2004. Assume one set of Windows will cost 500 RMB. Then Microsoft will lose 500 million RMB (60 million USD) for only this deal this year.

Here is the news in Chinese.
