Powerful Microsoft and Ubuntu 8.10 released

In October 27, Microsoft PDC (Professional
Developer Conference) Conference, launched windows
The Azure computing platform represents the arrival of the "post-Windows" era. Microsoft will focus on the operation of super-large computing server cluster centers and focus on the future. The grand ceremony of the Microsoft PDC Conference and the real conference of tens of thousands is unprecedented, showing Microsoft's powerful innovation capabilities and incomparable vitality. From this point of view, in October 21, Microsoft launched the Global Anti-Piracy Day, which was just a piece of cake, clearing the battlefield.


Our domestic industry is being reminded by Microsoft's "black screen. Hackers Disable Automatic Updates to avoid being hacked ". Who will take care of us when the virus takes advantage of the hype? We have long said that Hong Lei, a tomato garden, was arrested, leading to virus hazards and legal risks for the majority of users who modified the XP edition. In China, piracy is a "trivial" and you don't have to worry about it. What is truly worrying is that the vast number of computer users in China lags behind the computer age and is totally out of touch with the emerging "computing operation" and becomes a "modern barbarian" (without the awareness of copyright protection, I like piracy, which is a bit more important ). We do not want to see this situation.


Even Chinese people refuse to accept commercial software (like piracy), let alone use free software. The consistent idea of free software is that users have the right to freely re-distribute (free) software (different from secretly pirated software) (a kind of personal freedom ). Free Software and commercial software (mostly private software) are completely opposite. Free Software is a kind of advanced thought. It is neither a very ignorant modern "Harmony" nor a modern utopia. Currently, only a few people accept free software. Ubuntu is a free software package.

Today, UBUNTU
8.10 is about to be officially released. As a result, people's vision will be more open. Why? Mark, founder of ubuntu
Shuttleworth recently said that with the advent of the computer "service age" (computation), there is a huge demand for mobility. Therefore, UBUNTU
8.10 added the function of making a self-starting USB flash drive and supporting 3G communication. Ubuntu
8.10 put forward a very important concept: "Desktop
Mobility (desktop mobility )". There are two facts to note: 1. The speed of reading data from a USB flash disk is higher than that on a CD disk, and data can be written. 2. The confidentiality of the USB flash disk data has been solved. Computing (openness) and self-starting USB flash drives (Privacy) are two extremes. They are not mutually exclusive. In the future, non-disk Internet cafes with fixed geographical locations will be a public facility. No matter how good a smartphone is, its size is a little smaller than that of a person. It is uncomfortable to press the keys on both hands, especially for a long time.


According to foreign media reports, HP and Dell will soon launch their own Linux-based laptops. October 27, Mark
Shuttleworth said at a press conference that "I 've
Heard creditable reports of Microsoft offering XP at no cost to OEM.
"In this case, Microsoft is not as good as the internet for Chinese XP hackers. Let them go! Why a "black screen" reminder, strange (annoying) people. The problem now is that some of us are inferior to Kong Yiji, And they swear to commit piracy to the end! In the view of senior officials at Microsoft headquarters, Chinese moderators are inferior to those in the desert of Africa (who do not know why modern software is used), which makes us lose face! I know that moderators are our fellow citizens. Shouldn't they be so bitter, but do not stab them?


(Note: I will go to the intel R & D center in Shanghai to ask questions about the USB flash drive next Monday and the morning of June 13, November 3 to see if the USB flash drive is self-starting? Obtain an authoritative statement .)
