Indian government is finally set to
launch the latest version of its own operating system dubbed as the
Bharat Operating System Solutions, also known as BOSS.
The
operating system which was originally developed in 2007 by National
Resource Centre for Free/Open Source Software is now said to have been
developed along with Gujarat Technical University, DRDO and a few
private computer geeks being involved.
However,
the latest version of BOSS which is developed by C-DAC (Centre for
Development of Advanced Computing) will be unveiled this week.
Certified
by the Linux Foundation, the new operating system is said to come with
powerful security features and will be able to protect from countless
attacks by hackers.
Along with this, the new OS also comes in line with the Digital India movement and Make in India initiatives.
It
is being said that the new OS comes with a virtual keyboard on the
display screen itself and a bulk file converter which ensures a safe and
speedy transfer of data.
Also, it is being said that new OS was able to withstand the activities by Army Intelligence who tried to break it but in vein.
The new OS comes with almost all the features of Microsoft Windows and at the same time is completely secured and easy to use.
The
Indian operating system will be supporting 18 languages including
regional languages such as Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati and
Malayalam to name a few.
Having said
this, the new OS is expected to replace Microsoft Windows for official
use pretty soon and also in the near future, it is expected to partner
with big institutions and companies to make this new OS available to
every user.
