The summer of Taiwan tech independence
,----[ Quote ]
| This summer Taiwan will declare its
| independence.
|
| Not from China. Not from America.
|
| From Microsoft.
|
| Symbio CEO Jacob Hsu (right) has been
| working with Taiwanese OEMs for 10 years
| and says they are finally ready to kick off
| the traces and become their own brands.
|
| This surprised me. I was at last yearâs
| CompuTex show, in Taiwan, looking for
| Linux, and it just wasnât there.
|
| While many of the Taiwanese businesspeople
| I talked with expressed a desire to go
| outside the Microsoft orbit, every booth
| featured Windows gear, usually with Intel
| chips.
|
| But Android, the mobile operating system
| Google has built on top of Linux, is
| turning heads. âGoogle put together a
| complete packageâ for Android, Hsu said,
| with âsoftware Development Kits (SDKs) and
| other things people could use.â

Google, Microsoft compete to be 'platform of the world'
,----[ Quote ]
| About the only time vendors converge on
| open standards to ensure customer choice is
| when it suits their desires to dislodge a
| too-powerful vendor, as the HTML5 crowd is
| doing to Adobe's Flash or as IBM et al.
| have done with Linux to break Microsoft's
| Windows grip. In these cases, it's not
| really about customer choice so much as
| about giving vendors more choices.

| Noteworthy is that Window`s penetration rate in Taiwan`s server market for
| this year is down from last year`s 81.52% and 2005`s 84.58%, while that of
| Linux moves upward from 2005`s 7.75%. Last year, 44% and 34% of Taiwan`s
| public research labs and schools, respectively, preferred Linux as the two
| most acceptable segments, according to DGBAS.
