Today when Microsoft's Windows
8 considered as fast growing , quickly developing and very popular Operating
System, its very strange that China banned Microsoft's Windows 8 on its
Government Computers, striking a critical blow against the tech titan's efforts
to grow its footprint in the second largest economy in the world.
Windows 8 and 8.1 machines currently account for 12% of the world's desktop
operating systems, according to Net Market Share, putting it behind Windows 7,
at 49%.
Over a course of 13 years, Windows XP became the most popular operating system
in the country. According to research firm Canalys, XP now accounts for 50% of
China's desktop market.
When Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP last month, half of China's
computers were either forced to upgrade or left defenseless against malicious
attacks.
It might be simple for individuals to upgrade their home systems, but it's
certainly not as easy for governments.
Thus there is need of highly secured and flexible Operating System for such a
developed super country..............
They should have to work on development of their OWN Operating System in order
to make reliability in their system.......
