How will Microsoft's attitude toward open source be measured by wind and rain?

Microsoft's early open source software compared to the "stingy" this matter is not less than the external criticism of its reputation has a certain impact. But corporate restructuring may give it a more positive open source attitude. CNET reports on Microsoft's cognitive and behavioral changes, especially when it comes to open source software.

CNet: The bumps between Microsoft and open source are not going to be solved overnight. Rome Rome, but the scene of the senior manager leading the anti-source organization is no longer. Open source, which is now commonly used by companies around the world, has been replaced by the feeling that Microsoft's pretentious arrogance has now been disconnected.

When Satya nadhttp://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/39811.html ">ella replaced Ballmer as the company's new CEO, New thinking reflects the need to make changes at the top of the company pyramid. Since taking over, Nadella has talked about his vision of a future in which Microsoft should not be bound by Windows.

No one wants to be a negative nag, but when it comes to the topic "Microsoft and Open source," the vast majority of people are firmly on the side of the "trust but verify" camp. Yes, a new CEO and other changes may help Microsoft adapt to living in an open source world. But in such a large organization, change is never as simple and easy to see as it is said. So the jury will still be more picky about whether Microsoft really is making a difference.

Perhaps you remember the company's strategy of "embracing, expanding, and wiping out", an idiom that the company used to destroy competing products. But even so, we should pay more attention to any open source project that Microsoft participates in. Maybe it really has changed, maybe not. At least I think it's worth paying attention to in the next few years.

Android VS. Windows

ZDNet's article points out that Windows is still the oldest and the rule-makers in all operating systems, including the end user's Linux distribution, but Android will surely become a great magician to end user operating systems by the end of a few years.

ZDNet: If smartphone and tablet sales continue to grow as expected, Android tablet makers will continue to weaken Apple's market share and PC sales will fall to 3721.html "> Android may become the top end user operating system by the end of 2014.

In general, Android has a clear set of rules for Linux user space. You might say AMD and Intel will play a part in this race, but Android is eroding the end-user operating system market in the same way.

The numbers in the picture are nothing to be surprised by the fact that the moves that haven't happened in the past decade have changed. Although the desktop operating system is not as important as it used to be, Microsoft is far less important in the mobile device world. Even now, with the tablet and mobile phones struggling, Microsoft is still in a inconsequential position.

Google's retaliatory actions have reduced Microsoft's mobile efforts, and have even now threatened Microsoft's desktop market. With the help of Chrome OS and Android, Google has been hurting Microsoft in many ways. If you look at the sales of desktops and laptops sold by Amazon, you can see that the computers and Android computers that install the Chrome OS are already overwhelming. So people are actually buying alternatives to Windows computers.

Cinnamon VS. Unity in Ubuntu 14.04

Tech Republic recently observed whether Cinnamon could be a substitute for Unity in Ubuntu 14.04. Even the instructions for installing cinnamon into Ubuntu 14.04 are given.

Written in the last

We have a lot to weigh on cinnamon. Unity has its advantages, but the author thinks it is not enough to warm up. Cinnamon is closer to the traditional desktop interface and seems to use more space at work. As we have said, beauty exists only in the eyes of the observer. The great thing about Linux is that it offers a lot of different choices. So between cinnamon and unity must not choose the wrong, for you is the best.
