The nationalists in Beijing produce what is effectively a weapon of mass destruction: a national ban on Microsoft Windows, which they see as America's Achilles' heel. The enforced countrywide replacement of Windows by Linux causes the collapse of the software giant and, in its wake, the bankruptcy of the US economy. A war is unavoidable." - Wikipedia.

Some of the scenes I can play back time and time again in my head but there are still a few grey areas in the plot. Too many for comfort, and less than three weeks to get them sorted out. Yeah, OK, I admit it. I'm worried.
