  1. Comment - Sun Selected to Power Desktops in China

    Lets be realistic. Using free software. Try to make some research. People who use Windows aren't the kind of people who look after new software very often. Or maybe a small group of them. Most windows people use "free" (hear warez) versions. I think if your really believe in free/open source software you have to tryout linux or even others os.
    I don't understand why people say Windows or linux is better, windows or linux is cheaper. I don't think the question here is cheaper or not at a personnal level. Each of them has his own advantages. Windows is very user friendly, very easy to set up and to configure. Linux is less user friendly but more safe and besides you can improve it yourself (But that means for experienced people). So i think it's just a question of choice. ANd i think China decided to use this solution because it is based on linux and so open source, they can change it and adapt it at will.
