Ke lifu introduced three major advantages of using Linux: saving money first, including cost reduction of the operating system and cost reduction of development tools. Second, the increasing popularity of mobile phones, PCs, and other devices has driven the continuous development of personal computing. Using Linux gives users a faster, more reliable, and more interesting experience. Finally, the services provided by various major companies have mature commercial applications on Linux.

Ke lifu said that the current popular MeeGo is hosted in the Linux Foundation, although many intel and Nokia engineers are maintaining this project, however, there are also many developers in other fields contributing to their code, and MeeGo is constantly improved. At the upcoming COMPUTEX 2010, many vendors will also launch MeeGo-based products, he said.
