Ballmer commented on Apple, Microsoft, and Linux

Article title: Ballmer commented on Apple, Microsoft, and Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Some basic categories including desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open-source systems recently, Ballmer talked about Microsoft again at a briefing on Microsoft-Yahoo, relationship between Apple and Linux. He said that Microsoft adopts a "high yield + low price" strategy, which is different from Apple and Linux.

Apple suffered first, according to Ballmer: "Apple's strategy is low production + high pricing. Apple itself is a great company, but their business model is high profits, high quality and high price; these are their styles. what we want is a large market share, but at the same time, the product price is also reduced a lot."

Next, it was Linux's turn to suffer. Ballmer said, "Okay, let's talk about Linux. Linux stands for 'completely free', but in fact many Linux-based systems are not free, in addition, this completely free slogan is hard to stimulate programmers to seriously develop a set of systems that hardware vendors really need."

In the end, Ballmer once again stressed Microsoft's business model: "Simply put, our business model is high production, high value, low price, but not free. You can say that we are going to blur the mean, but this is our strategy ."
