Japanese government officials will this week propose development of an operating system so local economies will be less dependent on Windows, according to reports.
Government and private sector companies in Japan, South Korea and China will jointly work together on the operating system, to be announced at the Association of South East Asian Nations meeting in Phnom Penh.
Japan is reported to have already initiated private sector studies in the hopes of developing an operating system for servers and internet-enabled appliances while China’s officials promoted Red Flag Linux.
