Low-cost computers and its associated market size makes one of the best cases for globalization, however.  Most of us wouldn't have jobs if computers hadn't plugged themselves into a global supply chain for parts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft's attempts to shame Chinese users of illegal copies of Windows by turning their backgrounds black every hour is reflective of a wider problem of copyright enforcement in China.  As Henry Paulson, Secretary of the US Treasury, notes in a recent "Foreign Affairs" article, it contributes to America's trade deficit with China and limits business opportunities, both for American companies and Chinese citizens hoping to create their own software companies.]]></description>

Microsoft, however, clearly gave Windows Azure priority at last week's PDC, which is indicative of the importance the company places on its "cloud-based" future.]]></description>

It also concentrated on what Microsoft is doing to assist programmers to tackle the big shift to multi-core computers.  Harnessing the power of multi-threaded programming will be critical to achieving higher software performance in future.]]></description>
