New desktop Ubuntu System vs. Microsoft Windows

There is a simple internet cafe named SoNet between a bucket and a department store. It is no different from other sporadic Internet cafes in Jakarta. But when you go inside and look at a certain monitor in 11 computers, you may find that their desktop software looks a little different: it is not Microsoft Windows, however, its "start" menu, buttons, and window seem very similar to the former; it is not an Apple, although it has bright colors and concise screen display. It is a table named Ubuntu that holds a simple internet cafe named SoNet between a bucket and a department store. It is no different from other sporadic Internet cafes in Jakarta. But when you go inside and look at one of the 11 E-minds, you may find that their desktop software looks a little different: it is not Microsoft Windows, however, its "start" menu, buttons, and window seem very similar to the former; it is not an Apple, although it has bright colors and concise screen display. It is a desktop software named Ubuntu, which may change the way we use computers. Ubuntu in some parts of Africa generally refers to "treating people with humanity ".

The current situation is: Microsoft's Windows operating system and Office series are what we call "desktop software". These software are the steps we usually see and use on computers. In the case that Microsoft leads the world, Apple has achieved a considerable market position and a group of loyal followers. In addition, there is a free Linux operating system, which was developed by a group of enthusiastic software volunteers. However, it is difficult to widely enter the commercial or household fields due to the strange news. However, some people think that Linux can be one of the open source software options-such software can be freely written and repaired. MarkShuttleworth, a 33-year-old software developer in South Africa, is a strong supporter of this idea. After earning a hand in the internet craze, he first became an astronaut, later, we invested $ more than 20 million in developing Ubuntu.

The London-based sandtelworth believes that today's increasingly fierce competition in computer hardware (physical components that make up computers and other devices) has prompted its price to keep decreasing and innovation to emerge. In contrast, the software is still exclusive to the technology, and the development is greatly restricted. Shatworth believes that by distributing free desktop software, he can reduce the cost of computer operation and make the new desktop software as easy as the exclusive software. "At that time, I think we will see a real wave of innovation," he said ."

Those who have doubts may wish to take a look at the development experience of browsers. The new features added by open-source Firefox are much faster than Microsoft's IE browser. Developing a desktop software is nothing new. The $20 million investment in sandworth and the emphasis on practicality and design laid a solid foundation for developing a reliable professional software.

Ubuntu is easy to install. You only need to download a file and run the installation. (If the network speed cannot download files as large as MB, you can order a free CD ). Its desktop environment is familiar to users and easy to understand, but a little different-if it is elegant and upscale-it is enough to make users feel like they are in a new world. In addition to the basic operating system, there are office software packages, browsers, and email programs on CD. These are open source code and their functions are sufficient to meet the needs of common users.
