近几年的一系列事件让欧洲许多人重新审视对大型海外科技公司的依赖，转向欧盟本土替代方案的动力随之增强。个人或企业这样做是一回事，一个国家整体行动则完全是另一回事——荷兰正为本国政府机构构建自有 Linux 发行版以取代微软 Windows，其影响不容小觑。
这套系统名为 Digitaal Autonome Werkomgeving（数字自主工作环境，DAWO），基于 NixOS 构建——NixOS 本身最早就源自荷兰一所大学。它自带替代 Windows 所需的整套办公与协作应用，据报道已在小范围荷兰政府工作人员中完成测试。
此举对微软的影响可能是巨大的：政府客户往往拥有海量的操作系统授权席位。而或许比操作系统本身更重要的是微软希望向 OS 客户捆绑销售的附加服务，例如 AI 服务。可以想见，雷德蒙（微软总部）会有管理层紧盯欧洲的后续动向。
另一方面，荷兰拥有活跃的 hacker 社区，这一转变预计会受到他们的欢迎。荷兰所有政务在线服务都需要通过身份验证应用 DigiD 访问，荷兰朋友常有的抱怨是 DigiD 只支持 Windows、Android 与 Apple 平台——如果借荷兰政府 Linux 发行版之势催生出 Linux 版 DigiD，很多人会非常高兴。

A series of events in recent years have led many in Europe to reassess their dependence on large overseas tech companies, strengthening the drive to switch to EU-based alternatives. Individuals or businesses doing so is one thing, but an entire country acting as a whole is quite another—the Netherlands is building its own Linux distribution to replace Microsoft Windows for its government institutions, and the impact should not be underestimated.
The system is called Digitaal Autonome Werkomgeving (Digital Autonomous Work Environment, DAWO) and is built on NixOS—which itself originally came from a Dutch university. It comes with a complete suite of office and collaboration applications needed to replace Windows, and has reportedly been tested among a small group of Dutch government workers.
The impact on Microsoft could be huge: government customers often have massive numbers of operating system license seats. And perhaps even more important than the OS itself are the additional services Microsoft hopes to bundle and sell to OS customers, such as AI services. It is easy to imagine that management in Redmond (Microsoft's headquarters) will be keeping a close eye on how things develop in Europe.
On the other hand, the Netherlands has an active hacker community, and this transition is expected to be welcomed by them. All Dutch government online services require access through the identity verification app DigiD, and a common complaint among Dutch friends is that DigiD only supports Windows, Android, and Apple platforms—if the momentum of the Dutch government's Linux distribution leads to a Linux version of DigiD, many people would be very happy.
