Microsoft official says OS customized for China to serve SOEs in a secure way

Microsoft Corp has developed the first version of a China-customized Windows 10 operating system and is now in a good position to serve local governments and State-owned enterprises, said Alain Crozier, CEO of Microsoft Greater China.

The system was developed by its joint venture with China Electronics Technology Group Corp, a State-owned company. Equipped with tailor-made security features, it is expected to allow the US tech giant to regain access to China's lucrative government software procurement market.
