A consortium of eastern countries is to develop their own operating
system. I'm not sure what the OS will be based on, but it's probably
Linux, although it might be based on the Japanese Tron project [this
page, if your Japanese is up to scratch:

There are some dangers with this: firstly China, Taiwan and Japan are
an odd group of countries to be cooperating with each other.  Secondly
China in particular might not feel compelled to donate code back as
required under the GPL, and there would be very little anyone could do
about it if they didn't.
