I just came across this article in BusinessWeek about Mozilla’s efforts to promote Firefox in China. Featuring Mobinode/Netvibes Gang Lu among others, I encourage you to check this one out: Mozilla takes on Microsoft in China

My favorite quote from the piece was this one:

Li Gong recalls visiting one software company that supplies Linux to Chinese government agencies and noticing an IE icon on the computer desktop. When he asked the programmer why they installed IE on Linux, they told him that it was actually Firefox. “Our users don’t know what Firefox is, but they know this button is Internet,” says Gong. “So they overlay the IE button on top of the Firefox icon.”

Nice one…
