> The Windows 10 China Government Edition is based on Windows 10 Enterprise Edition, which already includes many of the security, identity, deployment, and manageability features governments and enterprises need. The China Government Edition will use these manageability features to remove features that are not needed by Chinese government employees like OneDrive, to manage all telemetry and updates, and to enable the government to use its own encryption algorithms within its computer systems.
The title could really use a (2017).<p>But I think it's a very interesting submission. At least I didn't know such a version of Windows 10 existed. I wonder if Microsoft would do such a project again in the current situation.
Not a bad idea. I’m sure China has its own domestic threat model and maybe this provides some better protection against data encryption malware and whatever other annoying tricks hackers are trying.<p>Does china have its own desktop OS though? I’d imagine that they have a pretty good domestically designed one.
I thought at first this is a joke, but no.<p>It should be called the Windows 10 Spy Edition - removing/replacing crypto so it can be decrypted by the government...<p>Something like this should get a lot more attention and Satya Nadella should clarify why they support this?
