What a rediculous statement. You must be working for Microsoft’s FUD factory. Linux is open source. They are required to make the source code available, otherwise they violate the license agreement.

Now…Windows on the other hand is closed source. Who knows what is in there, since only Microsoft is allowed to see the code?

The BenQ S6 OS is ‘RedFlag Linux’ released by a company controlled by the Chinese government.

Wonder what little sneaky surprises there are in there and what will it ‘phone home’ to China?
