Sorry to ask, but where do you get your "facts" ????

China developed, organized and promotes Kylin (Linux based) with a high degree of desktop penetration with the express purpose of replacing Windows and Apple desktops (laptops, etc.).

Russia funds, promotes and standardized Astra Linux. Same express purpose.

India promotes BOSS (Bharat Operating System Solutions) with the same intentions. BOSS also has a standardized server configuration.

You can read more about national Linux/OSS endeavors all over the Web.

My apologies I only bothered to update myself and see those things you mentioned after posting. My only vague recollections were of news articles about massive install bases of outdated pirated MS Windows and occasional well publicized but ultimately minor efforts like the Munich thing.

The 2014 events for Russia and the new cold war stuff for China seem to have pushed those countries into doing something. Thanks for the update.
