The true value of Windows 7

Introduction: In my opinion, Mr. Liang Nianjian from Motorola to Microsoft, this is just a human resource manpower deployment by the Earth. But China's IT but the media believes that this is Microsoft's "Star Search Action." Whether it is "manpower deployment" or "searching for stars", the protagonist of this event should not be Liang Nianjian, nor Microsoft, but a product of Microsoft, a product with an important mission: Windows7.

At the Windows 7 conference in the US, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer used such a set of data to describe Windows 7: 3,000 engineers, 500 million partners, and 8 million consumers. Created Windows 7. Perhaps in order to cooperate with Ballmer's statement, it may also be a coincidence. At the China Windows 7 conference (Beijing), Mr. Liang Nianjian, the new leader of Microsoft China, was wearing a Microsoft engineer's clothing. At the meeting, Mr. Liang Nianjian’s words were quite intriguing: “Windows 7 Party excites me and makes me a little tired.”

Microsoft’s two-year search for Chinese leaders, a Windows 7 Can Party make him feel tired? Obviously, what is behind this is pressure and new market pressure.

Microsoft's investment in Windows 7 does not need to be repeated again. This is how Microsoft expects WindWindows 7 to be, and how high it is from Microsoft's semi-finished Windows 7 project, Windwos Vista.

With the departure of Bill Gates, his Windows XP myth is gradually fading away, and Windows 7, which showed a slight sluggishness, is facing the Windows market, which has shown signs of shrinking, from the very beginning. It will shoulder the heavy responsibility of once again monopolizing the market.

After Microsoft Windows 1.0 turned from the black DOS to the front desk, it began a golden road. From 1985 to 2009, in 24 years, Microsoft's Windows operating system accounted for about 1 billion computer desktops worldwide. Faced with this data, the term "monopoly" should not be seen as a description but as a statement of fact.

When the time entered 2008, the statistics from CNZZ showed that even Windows XP can maintain a market share of only 94%, and the overall market share of Windows products has been "being". Fell below 90%! This situation is obviously unimaginable in the era of Bill Gates.

The Windows operating system is suffering from the constant impact of Apple on the one hand, and the Ubuntu system is gradually growing in the enterprise users.

At the time of Ubuntu 9.04 release, HP and CanoniCal, which have long insisted on using Linux as a server, reached an agreement that HP will provide "complete Ubuntu certification" on Proliant servers. What does “complete Ubuntu certification” mean? This shows that HP has included the Ubuntu system in the list of supported operating systems. This will be more conducive to the Ubuntu system that originally faced SME users, and get the "unprecedented" affirmation and support.

After half a year, when Ubuntu 10 was released, Mr. Yu Liqiang, head of Ubuntu China, also said privately that Ubuntu system has exceeded 10 million in enterprise users!

According to the current unpublished news, Lenovo and Dell (some models) will also adopt Ubuntu system (mainly for enterprise users).

If Microsoft is now in internal and external difficulties, this is obviously an exaggeration, but Microsoft must have felt unprecedented pressure. In particular, the release of Google Chrome OS, Microsoft's previous opponents who used telescopes to look back may not be able to see, now seems to be able to hear the heavy nose of the opponent running.

Fortunately, Microsoft has been constantly improving on Windows Vista. From the seemingly illusory user experience to the intrinsic change of compatibility, Windows 7 brings innovation to users and brings to Microsoft. confidence. This confidence is not only the result of “3,000 engineers, 50,000 partners, 8 million consumers”, but also a set of data changes before and after the release of Windows 7. (See: "Any new system is just a catalyst for Microsoft Windows 7.")

Edited:

From the operating system field, the challenge Microsoft receives is " Occupy the PC desktop, but from other perspectives, whether it is a mobile phone desktop or a search engine (of course, some areas are Microsoft is challenging others), Microsoft has been making good products from the beginning, slowly changing to "innovate" The good product "fine-tuning in this direction, the representative of which is representative of the operating system is Windows 7, in the search field is Microsoft Bing (Bing) search. Users who are concerned about this area have found that the Bing mobile search version was released shortly after Microsoft Bing was released.

This shows that Microsoft not only accepts other people's challenges in the operating system field, but also fights against other opponents in areas such as search (including mobile search). If there are too many opponents, it is necessary to distract attention. The result of distraction is the shrinking of the market in a certain field. But this shrinking is a red line for Microsoft. Once it is close to the red line, Microsoft must be angry. Microsoft is angry, but the result is hard to say. In this regard, Windows 7 can also be seen as a combination of "3000 engineers" after the anger of Microsoft. Obviously, this heavy punch is to fight opponents and is used to save the Windows market.
