Exactly. M$ has problems to find growth markets, and the biggest promise is China, but the signals from them are; "We are going Linux." Same message M$ keeps hearing from all the other East Asian countries, perhaps except Japan (don't follow what happens there much). This will in turn churn out millions of chinese Linux programmers, who will create top-notch applications in every conceivable field, and with a bit of luck English versions will be available for the rest of the world to enjoy.
