China is the most country in the world that use Windows XP, the government has appeared on TV channels Chinese media, calling users to move to Linux .
Windows XP Was stopped from Microsoft supports in April 8, 2014 , and this means that people who use it are still at risk due to suspension updates, which will lead to major security problems .
China took this matter very seriously, and felt that the computers that are powered by XP become more vulnerable over time, therefore, has issued the following statement :
We want to draw the attention of users to the potential security risks that may be exposed to Windows XP, where it was interrupted by Microsoft to provide updates and `` patches'' to it, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is working to develop a computer system especially for China based on Linux, and I hope users give us further support for this product which is locally produced .
* Zhang Feng, chief engineer at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, according to a report issued by the ecns.cn.
Zhang Fen says that approximately 70% of the computers in China are running Windows XP, including the authorities and local governments .
The experts on China Central Television , expressed concern about those security concerns, but they also made it clear that they believe that Linux may not be ready to receive the new users .
Hu Changjun representative of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Says " that Linux is only 1 % of the market , it is natural that companies do not want to develop software that adapts to this environment ."
But despite of that, we find many countries have succeeded in switching to Linux , such as Russia and Germany .
One of the main problems in China, the fact is that they do not have a major Linux distribution for the adoption of a uniform system, however , Ubuntu Kylin the Chinese distribution is a good first start, has proven itself more in the coming months .
