"2008
was a very exciting year for the China Linux market.
Although the market was, at some extent, affected by poor
macro economic factors, and natural accidents such as snowstorm and
earthquake that lessened big project opportunities, the market still offered
quite a lot of new growth points, such as enhancing
SI/ISV engagement, vitalization, notebook, and so forth. There are a
lot of opportunities in the market and, if vendors can
grasp these opportunities and deploy some successful referential projects, Linux
could enter into a new phase of fast growth rate,
as well as technology development," says Vivian Liu, senior analyst,
