Two of China's Largest Tech Firms Are Uniting To Create a New 'Domestic OS'

'The two biggest OS (operating system) makers in China announced plans
last week to unite and jointly build a new "domestic operating
system." From a report:

The two companies are China Standard Software (CS2C) and Tianjin Kylin
Information (TKC), two of China's largest software firms, with known
ties to the Beijing government. Both companies are known on the local
Chinese OS market. CS2C created "China's Windows XP clone," known as
the NeoKylin OS, and TKC is the current steward of Kylin, China's
first-ever homegrown operating system. CS2C and TKC plan to set up a
new company in which they'll become investors, and through which the
new joint OS will be developed. The new company will handle the new
operating system's development, technological decisions, marketing,
branding, financials, and sales. The current Kylin and NeoKylin
operating systems will serve as a base for the new OS, the two said.'
