[Blow teeth] Microsoft's grave: Windows 7. (2)

Internet application age

I think the root cause of Microsoft's continuous failure from Vista is that its design philosophy as a local software operating system lags behind the times, and the same problem exists in 7 after optimization. Therefore, no matter how good they are, in the face of the times, one sentence: let us go, let us go.

I don't know why so many people think that Vista is terrible. In my opinion, the surprise of switching from XP to Vista five years ago is far higher than that of Vista to Vista. Even I think 7's experience transition is abrupt, not as seamless as Vista, mainly reflected in the damn super taskbar, by default, the Quick Start column is disabled, so I checked it for a while and re-called it. This place has never changed since 95. The habit of changing once in 15 years is really not suitable. I tried to call it back. Then I thought that Microsoft's little action was really great!

Well, that must be despised.PartPeople who say 7 is better than XP, and even those who say 7 is better than Vista, you are farting (not a stick, sitting on your own ). Seven years ahead of XP and three years ahead of Vista. The problem is, where did people go when Vista debuted on the same user interface as 7 five years ago? In the past, the media said that Vista had poor compatibility and performance. You learned to reject it. Now, the media said that 7 compatibility is good, and you also learned to accept it. The learning capability is strong ...... I can fully appreciate the surprises you have experienced five years ago. I believe that the real Vista users are very calm and calm in the face of 7 times ...... In addition to speed up, there will be no variation in shit from vision to taste to hearing to touch. Shouldn't I improve a system in three years? As for the so-called compatibility, it is like a website that only supports IE6 is broken down in ff. Is it a website issue or a FF issue? So, calm, light ~~~ Yes. Don't worry about the problem ......

After XP, Internet applications began to develop and software began to shrink. In, I established a strong belief that software will be integrated into the Internet to become an application. Independent local software becomes meaningless just like a single machine. Local software, no matter what form you have, must maintain at least one channel to connect to the Internet. Think about it. Over the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer installed software, that is, the usage frequency of casual installation is getting lower and lower. Because, Internet applications are constantly exploding, and even many so-called software has evolved into an empty shell, which cannot be used or restricted without being connected to the Internet, network services have fully penetrated from the early browser type to the application of Web 2.0 in recent years.

The shrinking of software development and the popularity of web development make the operating system no longer so important. As a result, the operating system is no longer bound to a large number of developers, and Microsoft's advantages begin to weaken. The developer ran away and was distracted. He no longer only developed applications for the system. Where did you go? Browser. Oh, when it comes to browsers, You have to capture a title.

Competition between operating systems and browsers

Well, there is a title, which is refreshing, clear, moistening, rubbing your hands and then rubbing your mouth to continue.

As mentioned in the previous article, the main function of the operating system is to connect the hardware and applications. When the application is moved from the system to the browser, the browser begins to replace the system. In the past, we couldn't figure it out. The browser is also a software on the operating system. How can it become an operating system. Now that palm pre and Chrome OS have completed this step, do not compare and argue. In terms of the concept of a browser as an operating system, it should be smooth. The key to everything is: Where can applications take root? Or where is the application exit?

In the past, software was deployed on the system, and standards were developed by Microsoft. Developers should follow their standards. Users should install their systems, and everything was completely closed and seemingly open, in fact, the entire ecological chain is closed and monopolized, So Microsoft is the overlord of the software kingdom. However, with the rapid development of the Internet, the situation has changed. The browser has gradually evolved from a single graphic browsing tool to a brand new application. A brand new ecosystem can accommodate the emergence of applications. In this environment, standards are open and there is no monopoly. In this environment, Microsoft's removal from the dominant position is only a choice. So when Internet applications begin to integrate and replace software, Microsoft is panic and has to keep the ecological chain established and monopolized. Let me try it out. Maybe this is one reason why Microsoft has not significantly improved its browser over the past eight years. Maybe Microsoft is trying to prevent the browser from becoming a rich client, that is, limiting the browser to a thin client and browsing. If a developer wants to experience rich clients and applications better, yes. NET is not enough? Then present the Silverlight. If you want to use rich clients and applications with better experience, you can install the latest Windows or framework before installing the software. When I think about it, I will go back.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to go back to the past, because if we can go back to the past, there should be people from the future in the history of mankind, but no, so, time is a one-way street, what's more, there are still Mozilla, opera, apple, and Google in the world!
