MS shuts down Chinese Political Blog!

BEIJING - Microsoft Corp. has shut down the Internet journal of a Chinese blogger that discussed politically sensitive issues, including a recent strike at a Beijing newspaper.

Put me into the MS basher's camp from this point on.

Is this a Microsoft employee's blog? Or does Microsoft own a blog site I don't know about.

What is there to fight? Going to do business in the country you have to follow the country's laws, whether you agree with them or not.

Um so how does Microsoft have the power to shut down a site?
