Today 90% of computers in China run Windows. This is 5% more than 3 years ago, when the party announced its support for Kylin Linux to explicitly get rid of American software stacks.
This is the true power of Microsoft. They can ban virtually every software company, but not Microsoft.
Don't use Windows.

There will soon be 19 sanction packages against Russia. Since 2014, only the laziest politicians haven’t declared their support for Linux, yet the share of Windows PCs hasn’t decreased even in state enterprises.
Microsoft is the Evil Empire.
Why is it people still don’t grok this 25 years later? 🤔
Interesting. Where is this data coms from? As far as I know the government are pushing HarmoneyOS and Linux for alternative now.
Don't use github either
Still waiting for the Nostr alternative
From what we saw recently, the day is nigh
I miss defragmenting that FAT32 real bad...
This is not true. Windows is more like 30% share in China. There has been a major shift away from Windows in China for a while towards some domestically produced Linux variants. Government computers can no longer run Windows, this was a plan 10 years in the making.
Obviously this is just looking at computers, if you extend this to includes phones (which is the only device for many Chinese), then Windows is nowhere.
