“why it’s faster and more secure than Windows in China’s ecosystem”

Because China isn’t funding massive hacker pools to hack their own OS.

[fruser1]

So now you have an explicit choice as to whether you prefer the US or China to be the primary exploiter of your system.

[redfreedom]

That was my first thought. It’s my belief that Window’s OS’s eventually evolved into one big piece of spyware.

The communists will be no different, other than being better at it.

[dayglored]

> Considering that China has cloned everything they have allowed into their country, it would seem to be an act of stupidity to not have expected China to have eventually cloned Windows software.

Nope. HarmonyOS has nothing whatsoever to do with Windows. It was originally based on open-source Linux/Unix code, and now has become completely independent of even that. It's re-written from the kernel up.

This story reminds me of the tagline of an old Amana RadarRange TV commercial...when microwave ovens were a new thing...

"Yes...but will it brown the meat?"

I liked OS/2 in the 1990s and was given Warp 4 by an IBM sales engineer ; IBM should have pushed it.

There was also GEOS from Berkeley.

Marketing determined the winner not best products.
Which is a common thing .

I remember the first time I installed OS/2 and couldn’t believe the number of 3.5” disks you had to keep swapping out. It was a great OS.

I guess, it’s a win I suppose, so I’ll take it but I can’t say it’s the most enthusiastic I’ll be about it.

Microsoft is a massively woke corporation and should have been Bud Light’d. They did not receive what they deserved however. Microsoft went woke and got rich from woke which is a travesty.

So if the ChiComs are going to kick Microsoft in the neck, well at least someone is!!!

[ProgressingAmerica]

I think it is fair to say that switching to Harmony OS (as an American) is a distinctly bad idea.

People should switch off of Windows now that Windows itself has become spyware, but exchanging one spyware for another spyware is just re-arranging the deck chairs on the titanic before it sinks.

I would recommend an easy to use Linux like Mint or I hear GhostBSD is really easy to use as well.

The OS that shows the most promise for the future is SteamOS. It doesn’t contain spyware like Windows(or Harmony) and it isn’t a walled garden like Apple.

The CCP has never respected any intellectual property issue/protection on anything. Anything manufactured there has to turn over links to everything. Forget about suing. Private property does not exist in a communist state.

So, most all of their so-called technological advancement is based upon theft — primarily from the US.

[Rappini]

My only concern with their system, would be some Black Hat hacker could slam their system and shut down that whole network.

“I think it is fair to say that switching to Harmony OS (as an American) is a distinctly bad idea.”

I would never use it. But CCP has goals of getting zillions of people worldwide into the Huawei-Harmony OS - ecosystem. A great way to rule the world. Many nations already have their 5G setup by Huawei, which occupies huge business park outside Shenzhen

I got OS/2 and some of the other versions after IBM puled the plug on it. even have the latest Arca Noae version on a desktop
works great and can play with other os’s using VM..
