Taiwanese Government Says All New PCs Must Be Linux-Friendly

The government-run Central Trust of China has mandated for the first time that all desktop computers purchased from now on must be Linux-compatible, demonstrating the Chinese government’s desire to widen the nation’s usage of open source software. “It is a global trend that Linux is gaining wider adoption due to its lower costs and better adaptability,” Mike Lin, a consultant at the Taipei Computer Association, told the Taipei Times yesterday.
