Microsoft has stopped technical support for windows XP. Ubuntu 9.04 and windows 7 RC have been released one after another. The Linux desktop market share has exceeded 1%. canonical, a commercial sponsor of Ubuntu, wants to set up a company in Mainland China to accelerate its entry into China. What will happen to China's desktop market in the future?

I. windows 7 lacks revolutionary breakthroughs

Windows 7 RC is released. Although Microsoft has always declared that windows 7 is better than windows vista and has lower hardware requirements than vista, any version can be applied to netbooks and the so-called "XP mode "...... However, messages with higher hardware requirements than those of vista are inevitable (is it worth playing with users ?). Despite the hope of early adopters, the reporter has not tried windows 7-this guy is too bloated, 16 GB of available space is outrageous, the reporter's network and hard disk are difficult to cope. 3G installation images are the same as 5g Linux DVDs (some release versions are smaller, but the mainstream Release versions are always above 3G), which is daunting, however, Linux DVD images include two desktops, KDE and GNOME, and many common software.

According to the reputation of vision forum and windows 7 in the industry, its performance has indeed improved a lot compared with vista. The praise of Microsoft is unreserved for its perseverance in exploration, but it is a pity for its achievements. There is no revolutionary breakthrough, increasing volume, and higher Configuration Requirements (for new machines, it may not be high, but for the majority of small and medium enterprises that use old machines and friends who use netbooks ). Restrictions on three programs, but windows 7 is applicable to netbooks! In contrast, the lightweight Linux release is much better. In fact, the XP model is very bad-Microsoft is undoubtedly declaring that windows 7 cannot do anything for my users! The reporter believes that virtual machines of ordinary users are used for experiments, rather than spending cpu memory to make up for compatibility. I remember a lot of netizens told reporters that it was very tiring to install Linux and run the exe program with wine and VM. The same is true for windows 7. Occasionally, the virtual server is okay. If you need to simulate XP frequently, why not use XP directly? In addition, not all users need to upgrade the hardware. Is it necessary to upgrade the hardware specifically for windows 7? However, for the sake of windows 7, Microsoft may think that windows XP, Which is hailed as a "classic", is so ugly.

More and more bloated, more and more bugs, more and more slow, windows gradually decline, Microsoft is gradually disappointing (die loyal to Microsoft fans of course not so think, but consciousness will be more and more), then, who will redeem Microsoft?

Apple is following a niche route. Although with the development of society, there are more and more people pursuing personality and beauty, the enterprise's mission to make profits is an insurmountable obstacle for the mainstream of Macintosh. The desktop market also looks at PCs, while PCs look at windows and Linux. In some ways, while windows is declining, Linux is still in the air. However, compared with Microsoft, open-source is less important: Capital.

Some people say that both medicine and law are open, but doctors and lawyers can make money. Likewise, there are many open-source profit opportunities. However, the reporter thought that this is just half the case-these two special industries are essential for social development and there is no alternative (it is said that some shshshshai methods can replace chemicals, but that is a minority), and the profit comes from its complexity. If GNU/Linux is complex and there are more simple alternatives, the results will be different. All the people in the open-source camp are saying that the power of GNU is unmatched by Microsoft. However, Microsoft's low threshold has a greater impact. Although genuine Linux "free lunch", its desktop market share has not been able to surpass 1%, which is evidence. Despite the numerous defects in Microsoft windows, the high price is a situation where "one is willing to beat one another.

Although the reporter also believes that Linux is a powerful existence, no matter how hard Microsoft oppress (and Microsoft will not fully oppress it, it is really a competitor, Anti-Trust Law) you may have to play it.) No matter how hard the road is, the fire will not go off. After all, the Linux desktop will be at least in sync with windows (if both are playing well ). However, according to other situations, not only does Linux not have the possibility of "operating the toaster of every household", but the open source is still very bad. Oracle in shengyang North is a sign. Shengyang's open-source technology cannot be described as tough. However, engineers do not know whether it will be cold. Recently, some foreign blog posts pointed out that the new version of MySQL documents no longer follow GPL-is this a sign of the decline of open source? I remember someone commented that one reason why shengyang fell down was that the document was too good. Oracle's new policy is unknown for this reason. However, it is certain that this is a setback of open source and will affect the morale of open source. How long can I continue to struggle for a Linux system that suffers from a lack of funds? (Pay tribute to the indomitable open-source fighters !)
