Windows 7 to be used on China government PCs instead of Windows 8

Perhaps security issue with Windows 8 is one of the reasons that it is banned from being used on government computers in China. The response from Microsoft came in after the announcement that the computers can be using Windows 7 instead. Of course, we don't know when will Microsoft fix those security issues for Windows 8 and 8.1 for god-damn real and especially that even the Windows Phone 8 series and Xbox One should have those similar patches as well. Not to mention the embedded edition of Windows 8 which I assume that the similar security issues are still there.
