Baidu's search engine indexes billions of web pages, serves hundreds of millions of queries every single day.

If you dont have any idea about a topic on hand, its better to shut up, least others become convinced about ones stupidity! Those softwares you talk about are used only by the mainland Chinese and that too only because they make use of Chinese characters easy for majority of the Chinese whose English skills are legendary! Nothing new. You'd be surprised, if you cared to search properly, how many native language softwares are in use in India, developed on open source platforms (not the easy MS platform)!
Inane post!
Anyhow, this does bode well for the SL's generating jobs in a post war economy and providing much needed training for many start-ups!

you clearly have no idea about how a "software" works and how easy it is to provide native language (Chinese in this case) support.

now how about face the fact that a large part of MSN Messenger is implemented in China?

You'd be surprised, if you cared to search properly, how many native language softwares are in use in India, developed on open source platforms (not the easy MS platform)!

my 10 years Linux experience tells me the MS platform is much harder to program. a 10 seconds example is you don't have any parameters to worry about when invoking fork, on the other hand, CreateProcess takes 11 stupid parameters.

maybe in your home country linux/unix/solaris kind of thing is regarded as "high end", but please just keep it to yourself.

What a joke - Young people (less than 21 years) learn Java and C# here ( not all but most in the southern cities of India) coz most of them get placed in an IT company

And FYI every major IT company has a development center in India

KYA BUKWASS HAI YAAR. Indians shouldn't even reply to this troll.

If Indian IT companies are such a huge joke, then how can you explain this fact that the Chinese government actually invited an Indian IT company to start their branch in China?

hmm.. I think you are indirectly trying to claim that the CCP is dumb as they have invited these jokes to start IT companies in China! You must be a brave person to be saying something that would suggest that CCP as stupid! I hope you dont get a call from the secret service!

Ahh .. now I noticed your location ... you stay in the Aussie land!


P.S: Ibris, Gogbot ... I know he is probably trolling, but just having my shot if I can make him see sense.... though I am not overtly optimistic!
