Symantec Corp. declared its

had accepted the deal.
Symantec ran into trouble
May 18, when the company

wrongly identified two system
files in the Simplified
Chinese edition of Windows XP
as malware, and quarantined
them. That blunder rendered an

unusable, Symantec said.
The incident provoked an

users, who demanded
compensation for the damage

Symantec. At least two users

19.04.2007Microsoft makes Windows Vista breakthrough in China
Chinese PC giant Founder Technology Group has agreed to preinstall Windows Vista on laptops and desktops, closing a loophole in an earlier deal with
Microsoft that potentially exempted commercial PCs from agreements to preinstall Windows.
Founder and Microsoft signed a
memorandum of understanding during a visit to Beijing by Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO, today. The deal, which will see Founder preinstall Vista on
more laptops and commercial desktops, builds on an earlier agreement to preinstall Windows on Founder's consumer desktop line. Founder will also sell
Microsoft hardware, such as mice and webcams, in 35 Chinese cities.
In a separate deal between the two companies, Founder agreed
to preinstall Windows Live on its PCs for the next two years. The Windows Live deal comes as Microsoft said the software is no longer in beta and
seeks to expand the number of people using it.

13.09.2007Hacker releases working GDI-bug attack code
Security researchers on Monday spotted malicious code that triggers a critical vulnerability in the Chinese version of Windows 2000, and warned users
of other editions to expect attacks.
Symantec Corp. confirmed that the proof-of-concept code publicly posted to the milw0rm.com
site earlier in the day successfully attacks Chinese editions of Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) by exploiting one of the two critical bugs in
Windows GDI, or graphics device interface, that Microsoft Corp. patched last week.
But while the attack code works on
Chinese versions of Windows, it doesn't when pitched against other editions. Rather than allow hackers to execute additional code -- malware to
hijack the PC, for instance -- the exploit simply crashes Explorer, the Windows file manager, on non-Chinese versions of the OS.

A Chinese couple tried to name

Thursday.
The unusual name stands
out especially in Chinese,
which has no alphabet and
instead uses tens of thousands
of multi-stroke characters to
represent words.
"The whole world
uses it to write e-mail, and
translated into Chinese it
means 'love him'," the
father explained, according to
the deputy chief of the State
Language Commission Li
Yuming.
While "@" is familiar to
Chinese e-mail users, they
often use the English word
"at" to sound it out --
which with a drawn out "T"
sounds something like "ai
ta," or "love him," to
Mandarin speakers...
