It's the old mentality that Russia's still holding. Most things were always made and "reinvented" domestically rather then imported. People had jobs and were happy. Even though Russia is trying to put the economy back up onto its feet, better product is inevitably going to flow onto the market because there is a demand for it. It's hard seeing Russia or, in this case Japan also, developing a new controversially secure, stable, and useful OS, while they can simply build one based upon Linux kernel. The idea of ineficient "wheel reinvention" is being eradicated anymore and people take advantage of it. They should, it simply makes sence.
