"Japanese manufacturers back off proprietary OSes

LAS VEGAS ? Japanese  consumer  electronics manufacturers are  backing
away from efforts to push proprietary operating systems into wider use
and are turning instead to  open-source OSes, specifically Linux.  The
retreat underlines the    failure  of proprietary OS  strategies   for
consumer electronics.

Sony Corp.  and Matsushita  Electric Industrial Co.   made it clear in
separate interviews at the recent  Consumer Electronics Show that they
no  longer plan to invest  in  maintaining their once-prized homegrown
OSes: Aperious by Sony, and Pie by Matsushita.

[...]

Sony's and Matsushita's  alliance  to develop a  consumer  electronics
version  of Linux  indicates  their  changed   stance,  and other   CE
manufacturers are expected  to join their effort.  "A  number of major
consumer  electronics  manufacturers such as  Samsung,  Philips and LG
Electronics,  except for  Toshiba,  are   joining this open   platform
initiative," said Kunitake  Ando, Sony's  chief operating officer,  at
the Consumer Electronics Show here."

"elettronica di consumo" di Linux:
