Ubuntu Could Give a Fatal Blow to Windows in China
================================================================================
> Ubuntu Kylin might be able to replace Windows in China
**The Windows operating systems is going out the front door in China and its place will be taken by a Linux distribution that will be used by the authorities and the governing body. The problem is that there is no real alternative, although at least one OS might be ready for the task, and that is Ubuntu Kylin.**
The Chinese government and Microsoft now have a rocky relationship, to say the least. [As detailed in today's news][1], a plan to replace Windows gradually throughout the country with a Linux counterpart is in the works. It's unclear what system will be used to take over, especially since this a very complex situation and a very big country.
Usually, there is no size-fits-all solution to this kind of problem and the Chinese approach does seem to be a little too blunt. In any case, this opens up a great window of opportunity for Ubuntu Kylin, a distribution based on Ubuntu and developed by Chinese devs and Canonical. It's been stable for quite some time and they already had a few consecutive launches.
### Ubuntu Kylin is knocking on Windows' door ###
It's interesting to see that in the same day that this piece of news about the Chinese intentions surfaces, an interview with Dr. Jonas Zhang, vice professor of the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), about the [recent launch of the 14.10 branch][2] has been published.
"In our 14.10 release, there are some sweet new features. For example, beginners can find a replacement of Windows software via Ubuntu Kylin Software Center easily; users can login to Ubuntu Kylin applications and community via the SSO of Ubuntu Kylin (Single Sign-On System of Ubuntu Kylin, we call it UKID); Sogou IM (one of the most famous Chinese input method in the world, which has been launched on Apples App Store since last month) reduces 40% of the CPU and memory usage."
"More than 50 project managers, engineers and community managers from CSIP (one service agency of China government), Canonical and NUDT (National University of Defense Technology) are working on Ubuntu Kylin. Most of the full-time engineers are from NUDT. Many developers from Ubuntu, Debian and other communities also take part in the development of Ubuntu Kylin," [said][2] Dr. Jonas Zhang.
The Chinese government might be looking to build yet another Linux distro by itself (not their first attempt), but it looks like they could already have a very good candidate to take over Windows. This would also be very good business for Canonical, at least in terms of recognition.
If Ubuntu, through its Kylin connection, manages to replace Windows in a country as big as China, it would be a huge boost for the company. It remains to be seen if the developers' efforts to make Ubuntu Kylin a competitive OS were not in vain.

Ubuntu也许能在中国给Windows以致命打击
================================================================================
> Ubuntu Kylin也许能在中国用来替代Windows
**Windows操作系统将退出中国的前门而它的位置将由一个Linux发行版替代用于官方和政府部门。问题是目前还没有一个真正的可替代系统尽管还是有一款操作系统也许已经准备接下这个任务它就是Ubuntu Kylin。**
至少可以这么说,中国政府和微软目前的关系很紧张。[就像今天新闻里说的][1]一个用Linux类似系统在全国逐步替换Windows的计划已经在准备了。还不清楚具体会采用哪个系统因为情况很复杂而且这是一个非常大的国家。
通常这种问题没有一个普适的解决方案而且中国的行动确实看起来有点呆板。不管怎样这为Ubuntu Keylin打开了一扇巨大的机会之窗它是一个基于Ubuntu由中国开发者和Canonical共同开发的发行版。它已经稳定一段时间了而且已经发布了几个连续版本。
### Ubuntu Kylin在敲Windows的大门 ###
有趣的是在这个关于中国意图的新闻冒出来的同一天里发布了一篇对国防科技大学NUDT副教授Dr. Jonas Zhang的采访关于[最新的14.10分支开发计划][2]。
“在这次的14.10版本中有许多很好的功能。比如新手也可以轻松地通过Ubuntu Kylin软件中心找到Windows软件的替代用户可以使用Ubuntu Kylin的SSOUbuntu Kylin的单一登录系统我们叫它UKID来登陆到Ubuntu Kylin的软件和社区Sogou输入法一款世界知名的中文输入法上个月已经在苹果的应用市场上线了减少了40%的CPU和内存占用。”
“来自CSIP中国政府的一个部门Canonical和NUDT国防科技大学的超过50个项目经理工程师和社区管理员在为Ubuntu Kylin工作。大部分全职工程师来自NUDT。许多来自UbuntuDebian和其他社区的开发者也参与到Ubuntu Kylin的开发中了。”Dr. Jonas Zhang[说][2]。
中国政府也许自己也正想办法搭建另一个Linux发行版不是第一次尝试了但是目前看来已经有一个很好的用来替代Windows的候选者了。这对于Canonical也是很好的商机至少从被承认这个角度看。
如果Ubuntu通过它和Kylin的联系想在像中国这样一个大国里取代Windows对这家公司是巨大的促进。让我们拭目以待开发者们让Ubuntu Kylin变成一个有竞争力的操作系统的努力是不是白费力气。
