Chinese operating system the government wants to replace Windows

jos

China announced plans to build its own OS more than a year ago, to replace Windows. And just recently, a sneak peek of the operating system, which is named "NeoKylin," has surfaced. OS is based on Fedora, another Linux-based OS. The majority of the UI is XP-inspired, from the taskbar, programs, functions, buttons, down to the Start menu. Other items in Microsoft Windows like My Documents, My Computer, Control Panel, and the Recycle Bin are also present. It has built-in programs like Firefox, a music player, image editor GIMP, a few games like Minesweeper, and Solitaire, among many others. NeoKylin has its own version of Microsoft Office, the NeoShine office suite. The software was also created by the same developer of the NeoKylin OS, and is based on the defunct open-source productivity program, OpenOffice. NeoShine features Office's three basic programs, a word processor, a spreadsheet application, and a slideshow presentation program. The act of installing third-party apps was reportedly being blocked by NeoKylin.

"It looks exactly like windows XP" was what I Immediately thought as well.

 

Why does China want isolate itself so much (with clones of western things oddly enough)?

"XP Inspired" my ass. It's a straight up XP clone going by just the looks.

Chinese like to call it "reverse engineering". They are damn proud of it. Just look at how many knock off, fake junks they make, haha. :lol:

They have to clone "western" stuff, its the only things that work and are modern.  They can't figure out how to make their own within their ideals, so they have to take the closest working thing they can and then try to make it fit with their goals.  They are just too far behind technologically to waste time building it from scratch, especially when they can just "steal" a working one and modify it.

Now that's someone that could make Linux 100% mainstream success: Let's take the guys who already manufacture all of the fucking hardware anyway and have em work on drivers and shit. Instant driver support and millions upon millions of adopters.
