Microsoft makes money by selling software, and Google OS makes money

Google is actually one of the largest advertisers in the world. Google AdSense strongly supports all basic R & D prior to Google's launch, including technical prototypes for Google FS, Google search, and GMail. After Google went public, AdSense was an important source of revenue.

Compared with the plastic packaging retail Software Distribution Model of the existing operating system, Google is likely not to charge the operating system, but to integrate AdSense into the file system to achieve revenue of the click charging model. Because of the contextual relevance and non-aggressive nature of Google AdSense, users can enjoy free operating systems and the convenience of most free applications, so they should not be too disgusted with embedded text ads.

On the other hand, Google's operating system is likely to become a natural platform for publishing and trading personal ads. Google collects revenue by way of service fees. Google has announced that it is committed to developing a brand new online payment platform. If this function is integrated into the operating system, it would be amazing.

Using advertising to achieve revenue profit, Google has a unique advantage: massive amounts of information, efficient search technology, and text advertising forms that do not appeal.

　　 Will the operating system be shuffled?

Google operating system R & D has a significant backward advantage. You don't have to spend the effort to be compatible with anything you 've previously done. It can also improve the scalability of the operating system. Google has mastered almost all valuable information stored in the form of web pages in the world. Therefore, it is quite familiar with what users like and do not like. A Microsoft employee jumped to Google and said with deep feelings, "All Google decisions are statistical ...... Microsoft only adds a bunch of if statements based on a few poor facts ".

Indeed, Windows has achieved an absolute victory in the desktop field since its birth. Although other operating systems, such as Mac OS and Unix, have tried their best to get a piece of cake, they have formed their loyal user base over the years, however, there is no substantial threat to Windows.

However, Google's WebOS is very different from those mentioned above, because after so many years of development, computers have long been the basic tool for daily processing of various transactions. The appearance of the interface or the low cost of software cannot be a factor to win, and the user experience has gradually become a key factor for the widespread acceptance of software. However, user experience is very subtle and difficult to describe using formal definitions.

Many of Google's new software or services were not new before they were launched. for search, in the past, people used to know what is going on in search engines such as Yahoo and Sohu. However, Google search gives a completely different user experience. To put it bluntly, Google seems to know what users are thinking through keywords, and the results are many and accurate. In addition, Google has extended the search to all aspects, and once again broke the fixed pattern of human imagination. In this way, Google attracted 85% of the search traffic in four months, which is a huge advantage of user experience.

Windows Vista has not been released yet, but users who have used a previous version of Windows will know what it looks like. But what about Google's WebOS? No one knows what kind of surprise it will bring to the user, because all its decisions are counted from the information submitted by the user. After all, who else knows what they want better than the user himself?

Can Google's WebOS become the mainstream operating system tomorrow? Let's wait and see.
