China Is Developing An Operating System Of Their Own

Mr. Ni Guangnan who is the head of an official OS development, alliance established in March. China could have a new homegrown operating system by October to take on imported rivals such as Apple, Google and Microsoft. Computer technology became an area of tension between China and United States after a number of runs-in over internet security. China is now looking forward to help its domestic industry to catch up with imported systems such as Windows from Microsoft and the mobile OS Android from Google. China is about to launch a Chinese-made Operating System by October, there are already existing Chinese OS, but there is a large gap between China's Technology and that of developed countries. China hoped domestically built software could replaced desktop OS within one to two years and mobile OS within three to five years.

Last May, China banned the Windows 8 as a Microsoft's latest OS, China was moving to protect domestic companies and that's what they fear of. Microsoft is also under investigation in China for antitrust violations. Mr. Ni Guangnan said that the ban on Windows 8 was a big opportunity for the Chinese sector to push forward its own system but the industry still needed further development and investment. Last March 2013, China said that Google had too much control over the country's Smartphone industry with its Android mobile OS and had discriminated against some local business.

China has announced a new computer operating system and will be introduced in the month of October to replace Windows. They are deeply embarrassed and unhappy over an accusation spying on its computers by the US Government and China has vowed to take action on it.

China will gain many benefits. It will have ten million of users virtually during launch, and it will manipulate all access by being able to direct regulating software and applications that runs on its approved OS. Likewise, China will most likely build in some sort of encryption system linking computers to the Internet, which will create problems for any organization to penetrate. China will stimulate development of domestic software alternatives to Western software products. China will also gain more experience in how to manage an OS evolution, how to add features and how to support software. This will grow a domestic industry that will rapidly mature and will benefit the Chinese States. Base on the theory Chinese-built OS could lessen that country's reliance on all things windows and bring up or to foster the development of more homegrown applications.

The question is, what exactly do you want an operating system to do? The earliest OS did little more than allowing you to read and write data to a disk drive, and that's what they call a Disk Operating System or known as DOS.
