This was probably supposed to be some grand political-economic grandstand, but it almost sounds like a story from The Onion. MarketWatch reports that China has banned Windows 8 from all government computers.
If they really wanted to shock America, they should have banned the iPad or Instagram or something that people actually like. This may have been in retribution for some kind of cyber espionage race, but obviously it wasn't signalled in a way that people took seriously.
In fact, it kind of sounds like a good idea.... Windows 8 was not designed with the Chinese government worker in mind, I would imagine.
