spinynorman Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 The Inquirer reports... (text in full) SIX GIANTS of the industry are to form a group to commercially promote the Linux operating system, according to a report in today's Nihon Keizai Shimbun. The newspaper says that IBM, Hitachi, NEC, NTT, Fujitsu and Argo 21 will not only tweak the operating system and make other software applications, but will promote the OS actively in Japan. But the move won't just be limited to Japan. In autumn, the South Korean, Chinese and Japanese governments said they would help companies to develop and promote Linux. And the Japanese consortium will link with South Korean and Chinese groups so that their work is not duplicated, the newspaper said. While the Japanese group will work on security and software development, the Korean consortium will focus on Linux-based PDAs, and China on PC operating system work.

DragonMage Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 I guess this is the continuation of the three nation developing their own version of linux plan. Good for them. If those three nations switches to linux, then the rest of Asia will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
