Microsoft selling USA Secrets of innovation to China. Nobody Cares. Fuck You.

EDIT: SORRY FOR THE 'FUCK YOU' IN THE HEADLINE I meant it for the rest of the thread.

Look heres the most recent story about Microsoft opening up source code to China....and a story from a few months back about Microsoft execs testifying about that very action being a NATIONAL SECURITY RISK.

Methinks someone needs to start pointing fingers in the right direction...
