Excerpt:
Microsoft is facing another hurdle in its bid to encourage adoption of
Windows 8: China has reportedly banned Redmond's latest OS on government
computers.

As reported by the official Xinhua news agency, all desktops, laptops, and
tablets used by central state agencies must run on an OS other than
Windows 8, according to China's Central Government Procurement Center.

"All computer products are not allowed to install [the] Windows 8
operating system," says a translated post on the center's website.
