Microsoft sets software sights on China

"The software industry in China is not very well developed from the standpoint of a multinational company, and also in terms of a local player," Steve Ballmer told the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce.

"Our challenge is try to be a positive partner with the Chinese government in helping them figure out what are the right steps to take for the Chinese software industry.'' But Ballmer did not outline any plans.

"Federal authorities charged two Lucent Technologies scientists and a third person with stealing software to copy a Lucent product for a Chinese company mostly owned by the Communist government.

The trio formed a joint venture with the Chinese company to market the product and boasted it would become "the Cisco of China," referring to a leading data networking company, according to criminal charges filed by the FBI."
