Microsoft Windows Crisis Covered After Windows 7 Hot Sale

Win7 was released, the price is not expensive, and it seems that the sales are very good at the beginning, it is estimated that it will be a while later. But the latest information seems to imply a huge crisis facing Win7 or Microsoft. According to the news, more users of Win7 have been converted from Vista, and XP customers seem to be somewhat indifferent.

This message seems to be analyzing the stubbornness of XP users, but it implies such a few points: 1: Vista is too bad; 2: XP is very good; 3: Win7 is much better than Vista, but it is not enough relative to XP. To let customers pay for it. From my own experience, Vista can basically be considered unusable, especially in the hope of stable long-term use. Win7 is very fast, but from the perspective of the end user, it seems to be the beautified version of XP. In addition, there are a lot of software installed in the computer, and the cost and compatibility cost from XP to Win7 are too high. And if you don't work well, there will be more software installations, or installations that do not conform to the operating habits. From this perspective, although I tried to install Win7 myself, I still feel better with XP. After all, the good Ghost system crashes in time and can be easily recovered.

From this perspective, the market that Win7 faces today is far from the Win98 era. Windows is not a single product for people to use. The huge "parasitic" software system has made Windows 7 more than just a costly installation problem. If the emergence of the Windows system is revolutionary, Win98 and XP are the popular products of this revolutionary industry. After that, Vista and Win7 are actually just upgrading and perfecting products. If Microsoft can't see the changes in the backcourt today, it's only updated in terms of interface and small functions. Then someone needs to remind it that the era of Windows operating system has passed. This reminder is actually Google and its Chrome system.

A lot of commentators say that Google is somewhat self-effacing, including some of its internal executives. But in my opinion, Google's Chrome system development concept at least from the present information is an extension of Adam Smith's theory of division of labor in product applications. Why do you say this? In the case of the traditional operating system, we actually consume not only a Windows operating system, but a complex that operates a specific hardware + operating system + N software. Although we expect to enjoy only the services of these softwares, we are paying for the cost of installation, compatibility, including time, money, and even interest. If the specific hardware, operating system, and software cannot be further separated, the consumption of this complex form must have its vulnerability. That is, this vulnerability is limiting the possibility of consumer operating system replacement.

In the early years when U disk capacity continued to increase, I once fantasized about a product based on a USB flash drive with a personal operating system, operating interface, system settings, and other software. Wait. The personal computer working environment and custom settings can be expanded by the portability of the USB flash drive. In that case, the computer becomes a pure hardware. Of course, such a development would have some obstacles such as copyright. However, this obstacle should not be a factor in limiting the development of portable operating systems, but should be a driving factor in the development of software copyright protection. Different from my idea, Google developed a Chrome system from the browser based on the background of its Internet, which solved the embarrassment of the traditional operating system.
