S Korea to break away from Windows by 2020

South Korea said that it will move away from Windows in the future to avoid dependency on the Microsoft operating system, citing the fact that Windows XP is no longer supported.

In a government statement, South Korea said that it has upgraded its operating system to Windows 7 to replace Windows XP, but has no intention to repeat the cycle again in 2020 and consequently has decided to choose open resources instead, reports TechEye.

South Korea will invigorate a pivot program consisting of ten public and private institutions, the program related to employee education and the system paid for by the government. Apparently, South Korea is trying to support its domestic software developers.

This is the second defeat Windows has suffered in Asia after the Chinese government rejected Windows in its procurement project, reported Beijing Business Today, the biggest financial newspaper in Beijing.

The central government of China has ordered that no computers belonging to the facilities of the central government be installed with Windows 8. Meanwhile, officers have publicly encouraged domestic operating systems.

There has been report about the central government banning Microsoft Office as well, though Microsoft China denied the news. What is clear, however, is that Microsoft is losing its government customers, and very fast.

Its discontinuation of support and upgrades for Windows XP seems to be the main reason leading Microsoft into this crisis. Since its introduction in 2001, the now classic Windows XP has dominated the operating system market for personal computers. In additional to common users, Windows XP enjoys a huge amount of government customers.

Microsoft retired the thirteen-year-old Windows XP in this April so as to popularize the latest operating system Windows 8, causing an earthquake in business. Governments and companies spent quite a lot to upgrade to Windows 7, and many came to the awareness of the over-dependency on Windows and the future cost of inevitable replacement.

Furthermore, since the NSA's Prism surveillance program was exposed last June, countries and businesses have become much more alert to information security, gradually cutting their reliance on huge corporations such as Windows and Apple, and switching to domestic software.

Microsoft is in a difficult situation in the age of the mobile internet. On the one hand it has to deal with Apple and Google to transform to mobile market; on the other hand, its advantages in its core software are weakening due to loss of government customers.

Fortunately, there is still some time for Microsoft to rearrange itself. The empire of Microsoft will not collapse in one night, after all, and there are years to go before the arrival of 2020.
