The Wall Street Journal had a short article today describing how several Asian firms are looking to create a Windows replacement in light of the recent worms and viruses that have plagued the Microsoft staple. They want to create something with open-source code (uh, Linux?) It also claimed that back in the late 80’s, Japan had a good start on an OS but was asked (told) to kill it. Apparently, the then infantile US tech market was worried about growing pains.

I can’t confirm or deny any of this info, but it’s definitely worth some research. I’d like to see the Asian tech market give ol’ Billy a run for his money.

And just for grins, this is what happens when you’re caught speeding in your Ferrari without a license. Cheap shot, I know.
