Personally I prefer the CR-500 Golden Eagle, which looks much more compact, muscular, and sexy in an evil way. No wonder it already secured an export with the UAE.

Why is it many of these military equipments still using windows XP? I thought there was already a mandate to remove all US hardware/software in Chinese public institutions. I thought the Kylin OS was purposely created for military usage first. It looks like Windows XP embedded to me. Similar to those XP OS used in ATM machines.System checks at the factory...
This is definitely Windows 7, just look at the taskbar and the background logo. I believe Microsoft handed over the source code to the Chinese government for Windows 7 back in 2010, so this could be some modded version.

Why would Microsoft hand it over the source code to Chinese govt?
So that Microsoft may have access to China's commercial markets. The market is so huge that if Microsoft don't, then Chinese government can stop enforcing IP rights on Microsoft products.
People and companies will start using pirated Microsoft with the blessings of government. Microsoft will also see homegrown software developed by BAT companies.
China still needs to pay Microsoft licenses. It is just that China has access to the source code and can compile Windows to ensure it has no security holes in it. I still think it is a bad idea though. China does not need to give money to Microsoft, especially not the government.

It could just be for the export models, which would make a lot of sense.
