Desktop operating system and associated supporting environment, a project separately undertaken by Red Flag Software and S2C under the National 863 Program, recently passed a validation check. Red Flag Software produced a 5.0 version for RedFlag Linux desktop operating system, while S2C a 2.8 version for its Linux operating system. Both products have passed LSB and GB18030-2000 tests, and witnessed a substantial improvement and enhancement in compatibility, operation, and performance. Using together with Office software, the new operating system can meet the needs of daily office chores and some professional applications.
Red Flag Software has, in collaboration with other domestic and overseas software developers, created a number of successful stories for government office environment and online educations. S2C also made its successful explorations, including developing a desktop software for Hair?痵 JJL computer system, and HOTEL PC applications.
Both products have found preliminary commercial applications. According to a CCID briefing, two vendors have taken half of the domestic market for Linux desktop operating system, on a combined basis. The efforts have not only brought up fine economic and social returns, but also promoted the development of China?痵 basic software industry. |
