Microsoft threatens China pull-out over jailed bloggers

A senior Microsoft exec has said that the company is considering pulling out of China due to the political repression there.

"Things are getting bad… and perhaps we have to look again at our presence there," he told a conference in Athens.

"We have to decide if the persecuting of bloggers reaches a point that it's unacceptable to do business there."

"We try to define those levels and the trends are not good there at the moment. It's a moving target."

Woah — that's pretty wild right there. It's nice to see Microsoft flexing its muscle for a cause I can get behind for a change!
