Microsoft, the world’s biggest software provider, historically dominated computer operating systems in China. A Morgan Stanley poll of 135 chief information officers in China found that many expected the share of computers powered by Microsoft’s Windows operating system installed in their companies to fall over the next three years. They expected Linux-based UOS, or Unity Operating System, an effort co-led by a state-owned company, to gain in the shift.

China has been pushing for this since 2013 or so, maybe even earlier. It’s about time Linux became dominant there. It’s also time Linux and open source became dominant in Europe. It needs its own “Delete A” policy.
