| PC Gemilang: Linux outsells Windows |
|---|
The sale of Linux-based PCs under the PC Gemilang project is a roaring success, according to the Association of the Computer and Multimedia Industry of Malaysia (Pikom).
Ten thousand PC Gemilang units were sold in the first few months following the brand’s debut, of which more than 7,000 were Linux-based machines. Pikom said the Linux PC generated the highest demand due to its attractive price.
The PC Gemilang project was kicked off in March with two models: A RM988 PC running a Linux-based operating system and bundled with the OpenOffice productivity suite; and a RM1,147 desktop with the Bahasa Malaysia version of the Microsoft Windows XP operating system and Works Suite 2004.
