Hmmm …
That’s something …
You’ve possibly noticed that — outside of the Daily Teasers, and other associated bits and bobs — I’ve not written much, here.
Job-hunting’s getting more frantic, if you follow me.
At ANY rate, I do try and post up about all sorts of things: as and when they catch my eyes.
One news item did, today.
The one on the BBC’s news site — here — that tells us China has banned Windows.
Let me try an be accurate, there.
The Chinese government has banned government departments and offices from using desktops, laptops and tablets running Windows 8, the current and newest version of Microsoft’s operating system.
Mostly, it seems many Chinese government computer are running various versions of Windows XP: which Microsoft have ended security support for.
China are, appreciably, loath to replace XP with an operating system that leaves them reliant on foreign companies for security updates and fixes.
