M$ has a new head honcho in charge of bringing the blue screen of death, viruses, worms, trojans, spyware etc. to "emerging markets". He's going to have a tough go of it. quote: It is surely coincidence that on the same week in which Microsoft named the new president of its international operations with special responsibility for government and emerging markets, the government of a major emerging market — although it might think of itself as something more than a commercial opportunity — declared it is ready to roll out Linux to 10,000 of its schools.This South Korean project is typical of many similar schemes being promoted by governments not so much on ideological grounds as pure pragmatism. In the case of South Korea, security and cost prompted the project, alongside the importance of local support. Jin Ko Hyun, the man responsible, stressed that there was no deliberate snubbing going on; this is not personal, it's business.
