Yuan Meng: Red Hat and Microsoft have become business partners. What do you think?

Recently, I have been paying little attention to the software industry and Linux, but the so-called self-starting USB flash drive name is often heard from the blog of a well-known person in the industry. Later, I carefully read several blog posts related to the self-boot USB flash drive. It was originally installed with Ubuntu and some applications based on it. Of course, like the Industry Promotion of Linux, it is still a free selling point, but this time it is more specific to a Linux system Ubuntu. It is understandable to publicize the advantages of a software operating system, but I am amazed and admire the fact that this industry expert can finally implement anything written in the blog to Ubuntu.

For example, his latest blog post on the recently-proposed computers going to the countryside in China. In this article, the author believes that, in the current situation, computers are not suitable for the rural areas. PC manufacturers make money, and it is useless for farmers to buy back computers. In this case, we take India and Brazil as examples, from the perspective of informatization in rural areas, it is imperative to publicize the benefits of self-starting USB flash drives (that is, Ubuntu) for informatization. The author also believes that the so-called US $10 PC in India is a self-starting USB flash drive, and the author is even more shocked. It is called a USB flash drive. Why is it a PC? according to my understanding, india's $10 PC is actually a terminal. At least a monitor should be provided. In fact, a thin client or a terminal should be a serious PC. If the author wants people to use Ubuntu at least, at least let the user have a hardware platform for the application. Then again, no matter the terminal or PC, What Operating System is used is also the market and user choice. For example, if a farmer buys a PC, what is the operating system in the country's PC? The vast majority of users who use or replace several generations of PCs in the city are still using Windows, and think that Linux is not good or cannot be understood at all, is it expected that farmers who are new to computers will accept Ubuntu? Perhaps this is the true purpose of the author's unwillingness to go to the countryside through PC, but for the benefit of Ubuntu released by a foreign manufacturer, it is hard to understand the development of China's PC industry and the popularization of computers in rural areas. Is it true that Chinese farmers will earn Ubuntu, which this person tries to recommend? Don't suffer? Is the informatization of rural areas in China realized? Are there any inevitable connections between them?

In this article, the author also attacked China's Linux Industry, saying that China's linux system is not free, but actually commercial software, and its pricing is not zero. Currently, free software has not been recognized by the society in China. Here, I want to ask if Ubuntu is free of charge? By the way, the service fee is charged. The author believes that, as a product, software sales should not only be the product itself, but also include after-sales service and technical support, so whether a software is truly free of charge, it should be measured from any of the above links. In this case, how can we say that Ubuntu is free, not paid commercial software! Since neither is a free Linux, why does the author, who is an important member of the open-source alliance of China, not support the Linux Industry in his country (even if the service charge should be off-the-shelf ), what about Ubuntu outside China )? This is a great irony.

In addition, I also saw another blog article about the relationship between RedHat and Microsoft as a business partner, which is even more in conflict due to the effort to recommend Ubuntu. As the Linux system leader, Red Hat and Microsoft become business partners. Why? Naturally, it is for interoperability (I remember that at that time, the author tried his best to respect interoperability, which represents the development trend of the software industry today and in the future) and gave users more choices, how does one change when it comes to Ubuntu? Later, I realized that 80% of the market share of the x86 server operating system in the world was controlled by Microsoft and RedHat (referring to the author's data ), it seems that Ubuntu is not playing any role in the enterprise-level server market, because according to the author's point of view, Ubuntu is still playing a major role on the server (according to Mark Shuttleworth, I have another question. Is Ubuntu a major concern or advantage in enterprise-level servers or desktops? Or neither of them is reliable. Who should I start the USB flash drive? Finally, the author asked people to visit www.ubuntuhelpyou.com. Let people understand the benefits of Ubuntu to customers, but the author also said, (sorry, there are too few visitors to the website, but the Website access speed is extremely fast (8 GB memory ). Website readers are all fans of Ubuntu. I would like to thank them for their support. However, I am not in a hurry because my website business has not officially started yet !). Here, my questions are raised again. Why are there so few people visiting Ubuntu? The real reason is that there are too few or interested people?

The above is just a question from the author's recent two articles. In fact, most of the other self-starting USB flash drives (or Ubuntu blog posts) of the author are in conflict, even the logic is confusing, as if everything can be related to Ubuntu. Here, I would like to say that Ubuntu cannot represent China's Linux Industry, Linux, or IT industry. It is nonsense to talk about informatization that represents China's rural areas.
