Finally a break in foreign-dominated OS and maybe for the rest of the world.  Good work China.

After many failed attempts at promoting homegrown operating systems, Beijing may finally be making headway against Google, Microsoft and Apple, with more than a third of Dell machines in the country running an OS co-developed by the Chinese military.

Forty-two per cent of personal computers sold by the US computer maker in China run the NeoKylin OS, a senior Dell executive told the Wall Street Journal.

The move comes as Dell has begun partnering with Chinese firms to expand into sectors seen as crucial to national security by Beijing.

Last week, the firm unveiled investments of up to US$125 billion as part of a new "In China, for China" strategy. Dell also announced a partnership with Chinese cloud computing firm Kingsoft and state-owned components maker China Electronics Corp, a subsidiary of which co-developed NeoKylin with the National University of Defence Technology under the Central Military Commission.
