China banned Win 8 from being used on government computers. Germany banned Win 8 use for selected government departments.

Please consider titles before posting. Germany has not banned the use of Windows 8.
China has banned the use on Government machines only.
Nothing to do with the tit for tat political situations gong on regarding spying claims by US and China against each other I suppose.
You're right. The title doesn't cover the content of the article.
I was hoping the US would be next in banning it. Then they could issue me a free disk of whatever acceptable version of Windows is left. (Bring back XP!!!! lol)
(Bring back XP!!!! lol)
I still use it. Unfortunately it has XPired but as of yet the table I have it on hasn't caught fire, the PC tower hasn't imploded, etc.

It hasn't XPloded either!
Big man, that is one of your better ones. Very clever.
XP has been around for so long and we have so much XPerience using it that we could now be called XPerts, and we need to be as we're now apparently XPosed to XPloits. Insert XPletive for MS here.
I won't be XPloring the use of a new OS, and no XPlanation needed for why. Not worth the XPense maybe.
Long live XP. I XPect it will still be around long after I've XPired (pinched that one).

I'd be using it still as well if the desktop it's on hadn't taken a dump last year. I'll fix it. Eventually. lol

I can tell you worked hard on this post, Dennis.
I think all that the security related stuff is a bunch of hooey. The real reason is they hate the Metro screen just as much as everyone else.
Xcellent posts, Andavari & Dennis. My thoughts Xactly. snickers at own cleverness. . .

Just hope it isn't anything XPensive to get it running again.

Me too. I'm trying to get my hands on a video card just to test with because of it's not that, then it probably will be a bit of an XPense...and that'll have to wait.
I just resurrected my XP system from a failing Network card ("NIC card"), for a mere $12.48 it solved tons of weird goings-on caused by a failing NIC card that caused more problems than just network issues.
I always wondered what was behind those weird goings on with your XP system.
That's the trouble with hardware issues. How do you pin them down?
Pleased you sorted it.

You're lucky! Glad you got yours sorted!
I've narrowed my issues down to either a kaput video card or a motherboard (port) issue. Unfortunately I have no extra video cards anymore and don't have the extra $$ to buy even a cheapie one. So it'll have to wait.
Back to the ban of Win8 in Chinese Government: Link
Chinese news outlet Xinhua looks back to the termination of support for Windows XP as a reason for the ban on Windows 8.
Looks like XP will never die.
Makes me think of the song Dragula by Rob Zombie.
"In the same report, Xinhua states that China is going to focus on developing its own operating system, based on Linux."
Kung Fu Linux.
...China is going to focus on developing its own operating system, based on Linux.
well, if anyone can make a go with Linux, they can.
captive market, communist government, imposed will on the populaces, controlled internet - Go China !
call it Chinux

Looking forward to the Crane distro, the Tiger distro, the Monkey distro.
