Red Flag Linux beats out Windows in Beijing

Research outfit Gartner has noted an ominous development for Microsoft and 
other non-indigenous firms operating in China. On 28th December 2001 the 
Beijing municipal government awarded contracts to six local software 
vendors, and rejected the seventh bidder - Microsoft. The contract covers 
office automation, antivirus and operating software, one of the winners 
being Linux OS vendor Red Flag. The move is particularly important because 
it may signify a trend.
