Popular Japanese band uses Linux


Further proof you can get along without Windows if you really want to. This was on the first page of "Quick Japan" vol 87 and is part of an Interview with Akimoto Yasushi -- producer of the popular Japanese idol group "AKB48".

Quote:
"The computers AKB48 use don't run Windows like you'd expect.
AKB48 uses Linux.
The idea is everyone updates the OS for mutual joint ownership" -- Akimoto Yasushi
(Original)
Quote:
「コンピュータでいうとAKB48のOSはWindowsではないんです。
AKB48というはLinuxなんですよね。
みんながそのOSをバージョンアップして、お互い共有し合うといくのが理想なんです」--秋元 康

Japan has been a closed market with their own national OS for decades.
