[Blow teeth] Microsoft's grave: Windows 7. (1)

This article was written at,. When Windows 7 was just released, I was not in the mood to finish writing the damn beta 3.8 program. Now, I am in a pleasant mood, starting to send and continue writing.

Windows 7 has finally been launched. Oh no, it's software release. The industry is very red, and I have heard a lot of complaints. I also followed them with a burst of applause: Well, everybody has installed Windows 7. After the installation, Microsoft has completed self-Salvation. Next, it's just a glorious sacrifice. Otherwise, it will be a long time.

In fact, I am sure that Windows 7 is a very good operating system. I use Vista, which has been used since and should be changed. Therefore, my title does not deny Windows 7. I do not deny the future of Microsoft represented by Windows 7.

I am an absolute new chaser, an absolute crab eater, especially software. For a long time, basically only Beta or alpha software was available on my computer. When you use a stable software official version, I have started to use the development or beta version of the next version. Although the latest software is unstable, it can enable me to sniff the future, let me think about what kind of interface design and functional design should be done in the future, and then work hard to learn and copy. As a technician, I hope that I will not lag behind anyone, not the times, or even join the teams leading the times. The scope of study, the latest foreign software is the best goal, and Microsoft's operating system is undoubtedly the first to bear the brunt (Subject: This directly leads me to get used to and fall in love with the English version, from the system to the software, in the early years, I used QQ for a long time. Drive English QQ chat Chinese, drive others crazy, haha)

So, when my friends stick to 98, I started to try 2000 of the stability; when my friends fall in love with 2000 of the stability, I started to toss the XP desktop topic; when my friends settled on XP, my computer was always changing, 2003, Longhorn, Vista, 2008, but Windows 7 was absent. Now 7 has been officially released, but I still use 2008 installed N years ago. It seems that Vista, the "worst" system, has become the one I have used for the longest time.

Why? Why? On the surface, I am too old to be lazy. Think about it. Vista is very stable. 7 is just to enhance the performance and interactive experience at the same core. There is no big difference in the interface, the temptation and tossing of early adopters are not very cost-effective. After the official version is released, you just need to wait. Is that the answer? Actually not exactly.

Functions of the Operating System

Why do we need to install the operating system?

Used to connect hardware and software. In fact, I don't like software because these two words have been deeply rooted in the CS software, so I prefer to use applications instead of software. In the Internet age, applications are more tolerant and more reasonable, and easier to interpret, understand, and disseminate. Okay, let's say again: the operating system is used to connect hardware and applications.

The operating system is a huge application platform that allows applications to conveniently obtain hardware support, this allows developers to implement applications more conveniently than how to operate and schedule hardware, so that the hardware performance can be implemented step by step, layer by layer, driving, engine, framework ,...... And finally to the user. So far, we will not go into depth.

The dominant position of Windows is to win the largest market share of developers at all levels. The app store for the iPhone is no more than 0.1 million, and the app store is on the mobile terminal. When Will Microsoft count an application as an application platform? Of course not possible, because statistics are not available at all. Therefore, it is an eternal dream to develop windows on the desktop, on the PC, on Mac, and on Linux, and on more operating systems. Google Chrome OS? Haha, that's impossible. Google is sure to understand it. Why does Chrome OS still need to be released? This problem is temporarily suspended.

Therefore, the operating system has long been a bridge between implementation and application completion, for developers and users.

(Here, I have to insert a sentence. I saw the news a few days ago. What Ballmer said is an application specially developed for Windows 7.ProgramIt has reached 0.8 million. I simply laughed. I didn't laugh at 0.8 million, it was a fake thing, But I laughed at Microsoft and pulled it into a small shift when Apple used 0.1 million. As the manager of Microsoft, how can we follow the competitor's marketing strategy! What's more, Windows is no good, and it is still a giant in the face of App Store. What's more, windows and iPhone OS are compared? Ballmer's identity is almost self-deprecate, completely not domineering, and atmospheric. Miss bill, Miss Gates who simply ignored Apple's actions and achievements, Miss bill and jobs' tit for tat. At that time, no matter how bad Microsoft is, at least you will feel, the gods are not chaotic. But now Microsoft is dragged by Google and Apple, and like a shift, they are running around without their own direction .)

Windows 95 ~ Windows XP ~ Windows 7

95 ~ In, it was the start time of PC and the time of local software. My first computer in 98 years was sai Yang 300a, 4.3g, 64 m, 56 K, with a price of tens of thousands and a profit of thousands. When I talked about selling computers in the Computer City in 99 years, the profit was still very high. Buying a computer was still a major event. Surfing the Internet is not only a luxury but also a snail bait. Applications are mainly implemented using local software, and even songs are bought with a disc and written into the hard disk. This means that the operating system born at this time is born for local software applications, and the application completed by users on the operating system is also based on local software.

XP is a kind of extreme, so far as the compatibility and performance of local software are not inferior to those of today's seven years later. What has Microsoft done over the past eight years? Yes, there are many improvements. But for eight years! Google climbed from the invisible place to the top. Apple has eaten MP3, and the king-style iPhone is emerging. the tablet is ready to go. The war of resistance against Japanese aggression has ended, and the Chinese and the people have stood up. Microsoft has been tossing around for about seven times.

95 ~ XP, 6 years, how many other ghosts are playing 95? XP ~ In 70%, of users stopped in XP. Three years after the release of XP, it basically eroded 98 markets and formed a unified solution. Three years later, Vista swallowed less than 20% of the XP market. 7. Can I complete a task not completed by Vista? I really hope but don't report hope. I believe that 7 can successfully swallow the existing share of Vista, but it is difficult to swallow the share of XP. Maybe again and again, when Windows 8 was released, Microsoft will face a split and chaotic windows market.

There is another market that must be said: The game market. Games are a very large market. It can be said that they are the most popular gaming market, promoting the development of hardware. At this point, dx8.1 is a qualitative leap for dx8.0, while DX9 is a qualitative leap for dx8.1. However, I'm sorry, Windows 98 cannot install DX9. If you want to enjoy DX9, please install XP. Dx10 and dx10.1 are no longer qualitative changes to DX9, at least in the eyes of users. In addition, with the rapid development of video card integration to higher than the CPU, the role of DX began to weaken. When I use XP to play games and Vista and 7 games, no matter the screen or speed has changed. Where is the power of system upgrade for a large number of game players? What's more, the single-host gaming market is shrinking and online games are erect, while web games are shot. The new system has lost a huge upgrade drive without changing the game market. This is also one of the important reasons why XP can quickly kill 98, While Vista cannot be switched, and 7 will be so.

So I don't think the failure of Vista is the cause of the product. Vista is excellent, and everyone says it is a marketing failure. What about 7? 7 is better than Vista. So far, marketing has been quite good, but I still think 7 will fail.

Because we have already moved out of the local software era and the Internet application era.
