"Now, Microsoft is preparing to release WINDOWS10 because WINDOWS10 will be the last version of Windows," Jerrynixon, chief ignite for the developer community, said in a recent Microsoft conference meeting in Chicago, USA. So we continue to improve the WINDOWS10 system. ”
The Microsoft Ignite Conference is a very serious occasion, so far there is no too much of a funny project on the stage, but the majority of the media are still skeptical of Nixon's remarks, have been speculation is not a joke. After all, Windows is the lifeblood of Microsoft, and so far has not found any other Microsoft Project can give Microsoft a reason to survive. But if WINDOWS10 is the last version of Windows, then what will Microsoft do in the future? So the media questioned the truth, so most media think it was Nixon's slip of the tongue, but later in the media, a spokesman for Microsoft did not deny Nixon's statement. So how does Microsoft live after WINDOWS10? Do you want to walk into the grave with Gates? In fact, after WINDOWS10 Microsoft has a lot of ways to go, because Nixon just said Windows10 will be the last version of Windows, did not say that windows from the historical stage. Followed by Li Zhenjie take this everyone together kan kan Windows10 after Microsoft's living.
Imitation piracy
Under the leadership of Bill Gates, after a number of top program apes continue to work hard, Windows has been firmly seated in the world's PC operating system software monopoly status. Because of this, Windows piracy is also a flying dance, everywhere. The reason why piracy flying, which is due to part of the hardship program apes can not write so good software alone, but pretentious, self-thought underappreciated so that can crack windows as their own identity symbol, of course, from another aspect is also a measure of a program ape is a standard of ape identity. But more still because cracked windows do piracy profitable, even has become a lot of heterodoxy personnel rich important channel. Common ways to monetize piracy are as follows:
1. Low-cost sales, such as a win7 of the ultimate version of the original CD to 3660 yuan a piece, and pirated only more than 10 dollars.
2. Insert ads, most pirated Windows software will be out of the ad, some overt, some recessive.
3. Embed the software, can also be understood as a kind of advertising, but there is a difference, mainly with the system directly hard and well some software to force users to use, and then according to the installation amount of software manufacturers to collect money.
4. There is a back door, this is a more despicable means, in the software has left the back door, not only can steal the user important information, but also can control the computer installation of the software to carry out some illegal or so-called legal contract.
5. Make money on the website, software you feel free to download, but when you download from the website is always careless point to dazzling web site ads, so rely on the hand slip money is also feeding countless grassroots webmaster ah.
And so there are many ways to profit, although some undesirable but most of them can be used for reference. At the time of windows, everyone is to pirated it, and now the decline of the proposed Microsoft also do not look too face, put down the figure, imitation of the profit pattern of piracy no shame, after all, alive is the hard truth.
Service charge
This is more projects, can be the beautification of the software, the addition or removal of functions, can also be installed and maintenance software, and so on, this way is also a lot of other software manufacturers of profit way. In short, the software regularly upgrade the function as a charge item listed to show out, want to enjoy these features on the extra pay, do not want to enjoy the basic functions of the software can also use, the real world tells us that although everyone is claiming to spend money to buy those upgrade features is not necessary, but most people still buy, Because they want to prove that they are not most people, I did not think that is because of this move to become the majority of people. Playful human psychology is always able to create bizarre value growth points.
Selling affiliate Software
The Affiliate software I'm talking about here is a broad-sense software, and the software that runs on Microsoft's system is listed as an affiliate software, similar to what you call Windows software. To know that all Windows software vendors are in accordance with the Windows pre-zoned rules to run, and many advanced permissions are not allowed to access, only Microsoft's own software can be freely accessible, mainly because the other vendors do not have the authority and do not know how to access. Everyone only has interface rights without access to the internal source code layer. And if Microsoft does its own other manufacturers of software is not the same, in addition to the original function can add some rare features, after all, you are visiting your own operating system, other people's software access called drop-in, your software to visit that is home, which is strong or weak especially clear. Since other manufacturers can rely on Microsoft to live, so that their own to survive can't make a ditch full of trench?
Capture piracy
If you really can not face their own to imitate the embarrassing scene of piracy so completely to catch piracy, whether you are a person or company, as long as the use is to seize, sue you, to compensate, according to the other party's income level list of compensation, low income compensation less, high income compensation more points according to the way of personal income tax, It should be enough to keep Microsoft alive for another 10 years. It is only when this kind of household hand is resorted to, the possibility of digging a grave is unknown.
Say 1000 10,000, but just entertainment, Microsoft's Road in the future is sure to be set, otherwise such a giant company may be unprepared for the release of the public, unless it is to sell WINDOWS10 staged a hat-trick, and then change a name is not called Windows, What do you call it? continue to upgrade, but not likely, more likely is the above mentioned in the service charges, let Windows free then charge a surcharge, do not do a large-scale upgrade, but always upgrade, on-demand upgrade, and even can be personalized, in short, as long as the function of the basic class is more than the charge, Take the current software all the way, after all, this is already a mature road, is a road that has been accepted by everyone. If Microsoft's previous sales model compared with the current model, then Microsoft's previous sales model is dirt road, now the road is the highway. Of course, with the development of the era of magnetic levitation or aviation orbit is likely to be born, but it takes time and technology to support the separation! We'll just have to wait and see!
