Microsoft Made a Special Version of Windows 10 for China's Government

According to Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi, "We'll continue to keep Windows 10 secure and sustain our strong privacy standards".

In December previous year Microsoft already announced it made an agreement with a Chinese technology company to start sales of a Windows 10 version "optimized" for the Chinese government.

Since it was introduced, Microsoft's latest operating system Windows 10 has been getting vast support worldwide. It will also "collect feedback from these government customers on their specific use requirements to inform the creation of the successive updates of the government Windows 10 image, which may be developed by the joint organization".

Obama Picks White Judge As Apex Court Nominee
Several Republicans in Congress who represent Central Texas are not happy about President Obama's Supreme Court pick. McConnell argued that Obama had nominated Garland precisely for the objective of politicizing the nomination.

China is one of the few countries, that strictly complies with censorship guidelines, making new businesses hard to launch their products in the market.

Microsoft just finished the special version of Windows 10 it built for the Chinese government, which takes out some consumer apps while adding more security controls. In an Interview, Microsoft China CEO, Raulph Haupter explained how they created the special edition in partnership with the China's Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC). While the world recognizes it as Windows 10, it is officially christened Zhuangongban in China.

Reports coming from local media reveal that Microsoft's new Windows 10 version is called Zhuangongban, which stands for "Specially-Provided Edition", which perfectly underlines the objective of this new Windows 10 SKU. It would seem that applications have been removed and that the administration options and security controls have been reinforced.

Personal Income and Consumption Rose Slightly in February
The personal spending report showed the price index tied to consumer purchases fell 0.1 percent in February from the prior month. The core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index for February of 2016 was up by 1.7% from February of 2015.

All said and done, this special edition of Windows gives administrators greater power and freedom to track a user's activity. So in other words it does not phone home to Microsoft as much as the western version does either.

Many Windows users - including myself - have reported unwanted Windows 10 upgrades and misleading upgrade prompts in recent weeks.
