Microsoft did its bit for the Chinese government publicity tour to the USA by once again publicizing its OEM deal with Lenovo even though the details for the upcoming year haven’t really been worked out yet. The nominal figure is reputed to be “as much as” $1.3B which would be up slightly from last year’s $1.2B and, of course, it includes other markets besides China. The upside for Microsoft, besides helping out a pal, is that the mutual backscratching with the Chinese government keeps them focused on piracy reduction.
