Japan, China, and South Korea have agreed to cooperate in a project to
boost research and development of software for operating systems other
than industry leader Microsoft Corp.'s Windows. The project, proposed
by Japan's Trade Minister Takeo Hiranuma at a conference in Phnom
Penh, Cambodia, on Wednesday, is intended to bolster the popularity of
Windows' rivals, such as Linux, and boost their share in such markets
as digital cameras, mobile phones, and car-navigation systems.
