Major Chinese personal computer maker Founder Group has abandoned the US Microsoft's Windows Operating System in its newly released PC series.
Founder Group installed its own home media center and free disk operating system in the new PC to replace the dominating Windows OS.
The company has become the country's second PC maker to stop using Windows.
Lenovo made a similar decision earlier this week for its low-end PCs specially designed for rural townships.
