Linux: How economic laws help me get on stage

For a long time, Linux has suffered a lot from "Windows piracy" and has been overwhelmed by "different eyes. Piracy is readily available. What do you need for Linux? This situation will not last long.

In recent years, with the increasing maturity of Desktop Linux, the rapid rise of Google's "network applications" and the increasing popularity of Linux applications are overwhelming. Specifically, low-price Linux computers sell well worldwide, which can be fully explained. In the past 20 years, we have to spend 1,000 ~ $2,000 to buy a PC Computer (basic hardware), you have to "add" an extremely expensive office suite (known as "productivity software package "). However, the current situation has changed, as long as you spend a very small amount of money (200 ~ $500). With the help of Linux and Google's "cloud computing" (such as Google Apps), everything (almost all) can be done. Of course, you have to consider the cost of broadband network. Google's "cloud computing" is a "big concentration" of social computing capabilities, "sharing" a large number of scattered personal computing capabilities. This is the general trend of IT development.

Low-price Linux computers with cloud computing capabilities represent the future development direction of the IT industry. After careful and rigorous estimation, it can be proved that the overall application cost of a Linux computer is much lower than that of a vista computer (less than 1/2 ). Driven by economic laws, Linux computers will be on the stage of personal computers. Here we need to clarify that the so-called "Linux computer" in this article refers to a Linux-based low-price computer with "cloud computing capability, it is not a traditional computer that we usually call "pre-installed (or can be uninstalled) Linux. Without free software (with zero price), there is no real "Linux computer ". Everex will launch its cloud laptop (based on Linux cloudbook) and Asus Eee (easy to learn, easy to play, easy to work) computers, is a typical representative of the next generation of Linux computers. ASUS Eee computers are expected to sell 3.8 million machines next year. Sales of everex computers in the US will also reach millions. Behind this development trend, the "Invisible Hand" is the economic law.

Although Linux itself is innocent and without money, Linux computers are a kind of artificial "commodity". The only profit is the image. Economy is the original motive for social development. Once a specific social need (such as the need for a Linux computer) arises, the development of a Linux computer will be inevitable (resistance). Malicious degradation and cursing cannot prevent the development of things.
