You are damn right. They will keep on coming, and for reasons that I haven't seen published here on this page.

u$ just lost millions of customers last week.
For those who don't know:

The Chinese Government decided last month that u$ is out. Full stop.
China has 66 million computers, and ??? million users.
Since sharing a computer is quit common there, it might be 100 million users.

The Brazilian Government would like to kick out u$ as well, and will most probably manage.
Another 20 million.

Chinese, Korean and Japanese software engineers ( group of about 100 )are working already for 6 months on a plan to develop a linux based system for the East Asian region.
And they are financial backed by Multi billion dollar companies
If that happens--Bang: another 200 Million gone from this regon.

And if it happens, it will spread like the asian flu.

Are you surprised that u$ is coming on harder and harder ?

as someone else said before.
Don't waste your time fighting, spend it developping and organizing.
UNITE
