China has ordered several government agencies to drop a Chinese-developed version of Windows 10 in favor of either KylinOS or UOS.

    TIL (from a different part of the internet):

    Windows 10 China Government Edition supports Mandarin Chinese only, region locked.

    • OneDrive / Microsoft Cloud is removed,
    • no Microsoft Store,
    • Minimal or no telemetry to meet government demands,
    • uses Chinese-approved encryption standards (unlike BitLocker),
    • Entra ID / Azure AD Support replaced with local directory services,
    • more localized control over system updates in Win 10 China Govt Ed.

    I wonder if China asked to compile it themselves.
