The ability to manage/disable features is meaningless. Surely the chinese government controls the source code and ensures that any install is off of their source?
And tell me china isn't the only country getting their own version. Russia, India, etc all have to be competent enough not to trust microsoft?
We declared kaspersky, an antivirus software company, as a national security risk. Surely the leaders of the world are smart enough to realize that if a mere little antivirus program is a national security risk, then an operating system is an even greater one. And yet, we never hear about other nations seriously ramping up investment in OS development. What is the EU doing? A larger economy and a larger population and nothing to show for it. Where is india and china? Surely with their large population then can spare a few engineers for OS development.
