What's more, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates hinted that China will be privy to all, not just part, of the source code its government wished to inspect.

Interesting news, I take it as more a comment on the importance of the Asian/Far East market as anything else. If MS are prepared to bend over backwards to appease that market I think it gives a hint of the potential growth they see, we as webmasters should see it too!
