Tencent Will Launch Linux QQ In July

July 9, 2008 | Print | Email Email | Comments | Category: Software



    Tencent's Linux version of its instant messaging software QQ has entered a testing stage and it will be formally launched in July 2008.

    The distinguishing feature of this new QQ product is that it can fully support the Chinese-made Loongson CPU. In the future, this Linux QQ will jointly be promoted with Loongson in the educational sector, which means all Loongson computers will have pre-installed Linux QQ.

    In China, there are more than 2 million new computers pre-installed with Linux operating systems every year. Computer giants such as HP and Asus also have started to pre-install Linux in their low-end Chinese laptop products.

    Longsoon has been developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences as a safe alternative to the U.S.-made AMD and Intel chips.

      Hi,
      I have QQ chat installed on my computer. I have added PRC to the language. I can see Chinese characters on Sina.com but not when I open QQ chat.
      What can I do?
