Usr6 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 The Chinese government has banned the installation of Windows 8 on government PCs, reports Re/code. The Central Government Procurement Center issued a directive last week barring the use of Microsoft's latest operating system as an energy-saving measure, according to Re/code.State news agency Xinhua gave a different reason for the ban: it's to ensure system security after Microsoft ended support for Windows XP. The unsupported operating system is still estimated to be used on as much as half of the Chinese desktop market.How the ban makes sense, either as a security measure or an energy-saving one, isn't clear. Lest there be any doubt, the solution to Windows XP's security problems—it's vulnerable to a number of unpatched flaws already—is to stop using it. Not ban the use of an actively supported operating system.Sursa: China bans Windows 8 on government PCs to ensure security | Ars TechnicaPe acelasi subiect:China bans government purchases of Windows 8, surprising Microsoft | ITworldhttp://thehackernews.com/2014/05/china-bans-microsoft-windows-8-for.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Cacat... Situatie sta in felul urmator:China e prietena cu Rusia. SUA (cred ca si UE) au pus diferite piedici in desfasurarea comertului rusilor. Ca urmare a acestui fapt, chinezii pun piedici economice SUA, sa nu uitam ca si daca primesti cate un dolar de la fiecare chinez devii miliardar in dolari.

Che Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 + ca win8 are ceva backdoor (ceva mai multe) de la NSA, CIA, Microsoft..De unde stii ? Daca ar avea nu s-ar misca mai greu ? In plus, de la atat de multe date le-ar pica serverele de monitorizare. Nu ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nu ?Ei nu fac live streaming. Exista o mica portita pe care, daca cineva vrea o poate deschide (un exploit, o componenta).In caz ca NSA vrea, se conecteaza la PC si afla cam tot ce vrea.PS: Nu uita ca NSA are cel mai mare supercalculator(dupa china). Si baza de date NSA are cativa km patrati. + ca prin centerele NSA trece cam 1/2 din conexiunile de internet ce trec prin USA.Daca asa multe tari renunta la WIN8 fie e o miscare impotriva politicii microsoft, fie s-ar fi descoperit ceva exploit/lucru dubios in acest OS.
