Unlikely. Most people in China use pirated versions of Windows, so they'll keep doing that.

Maybe the governments will require the use of this brand of Ubuntu, but that's it.

Yeah. Even North Korea, which has its own Linux variant, seems to use Windows XP extensively.

I think this process will begin with the governments of all ranks whose office computers will be required to install Ubuntu.
