In a brief statement on the Central Government Procurement Centre's website about a particular class of energy-saving products, the agency noted that new government computers are forbidden from having Windows 8 installed."
...the move is the Chinese government's response to Microsoft's recent end to support and security updates for Windows XP, which still runs most government computers.
...the government has "moved to avoid the awkwardness of being confronted with a similar situation again in future if it continues to purchase computers with [a] "foreign OS".
...the first step to supporting a homegrown OS is to promote the use of "Chinese-designed" (Linux based) OS among official users...
Is it time for Microsoft to introduce its own Linux distribution, i.e. "Winux" all with Office and official subscription support, and XP and Live Tiles "themes"...
