A Canonical formula of new OS to Chinese users = ' UbuntuKylin '

Canonical, the software company that manages and funds Ubuntu, announced to develop a new, open-source operating system customized especially for Chinese users called 'UbuntuKylin OS'.


by the Word's  of LINUX --

"When we announced that the GNOME version of Ubuntu had been officially accepted as part of the family, we forgot to mention that it was not the only addition. About the same time also joined the team Kylin, a new flavor of Ubuntu aimed at Chinese users now know is supported by the large Asian giant to implement it as a national operating system no less.

The news can be read at this time in many places, it has transcended the realm Linux user to become standard technology news, as the implications of China betting on a GNU / Linux and Ubuntu can have interesting consequences in the future, being as it is , the world's largest market.
The first version is based on Ubuntu Kylin Ubuntu 13.04 and is being developed by Canonical and the Chinese Center for Promotion of Software and Integrated Chips (CSIP), a government agency whose plans for the system include PC and mobile devices, all wrapped in the guise of Unity (in case anyone was wondering the desktop).
Despite being aimed at China, there's a surprise in Ubuntu Kylin can please everyone. We speak your office suite, although it will be a first time LibreOffice software responsible for this task, in the repositories can be found WPS Office, an office suite alternative maybe Android users already know the name of Kingsoft Office. WPS Office has Linux version and an important feature: Ribbon interface (a la Microsoft Office).
Kylin Ubuntu will be released on April 25, along with other editions of Ubuntu 13.04. Then she begin a new episode in the history of GNU / Linux? Because Microsoft still rules the desktop, but the thrust of China is formidable, and although I was stationed in the country for quite some Linux, Ubuntu Kylin seems by far the most ambitious of any which have been carried out.
Another question: will benefit the rest of the world to get Kylin progress? For now, in a further talk ratillo WPS ..."


According to the BBC, Chinese government and Canonical partner to launch its home grown operating system. China signaled its intention to move away from its dependence on western software products i.e windows.

Canonical staff and Chinese researchers will be working on the OS at a Beijing lab. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will collaborate with Canonical to come up with Kylin to run on servers, aimed at websites, online shops, and hosting.

The first version of Ubuntu Kylin is for the laptops and desktops. Therefore the Android dominates the Chinese market for a few more years. The Ubuntu Kylin is not for the mobile device because Canonical already has the Ubuntu Mobile OS.

Future releases will also include integration with Baidu maps and shopping service Taobao, payment processing for Chinese banks, and real-time train and flight information. WPS Office, known outside China as Kingsoft Office or KSOffice may eventually land in Ubuntu Kylin as the default productivity suite.

The first Ubuntu Kylin release for Chinese users is expected next month with 13.04.
