Microsoft mulls response to Linux-based XP clone
,----[ Quote ]
| The solution? Make Windows XP out of Linux.
|
| And Microsoft isn't sure what to do about it.
|
| I first saw screenshots of Ylmf OS at
| DownloadSquad and decided to look into it
| further. According to the software's Web
| site, via Google Translate, Ylmf OS was
| developed by Rain Forest Wind Guangdong
| Computer Technology Co., an Internet and
| software firm based in Dongguan, Guangdong
| Province, China.

What Took Wired So Loongson?
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been writing about the Loongson chip for
| three years now. As I've noted several times,
| this chip is important because (a) it's a home-
| grown Chinese chip (albeit based on one from
| MIPS) and (b) Windows doesn't run on it, but
| GNU/Linux does.
|
| [...]
|
| Because GNU/Linux distros have already been
| ported to the Loongson chip, neither Java nor
| OpenOffice.org needs "adapting" so much as
| recompiling - hardly a challenging task. As for
| "releasing it all under a free software
| license", they had no choice.
