Build Congress Highlights: 9-inch device Windows licensing free

[Abstract] windows free of 9-inch devices means there will be more terminals in the future that will join the Windows camp. Tencent Science and technology Louboutin Pool April 3 reported that Microsoft BUILD2014 developer Assembly in the United States today in San Francisco Moscam Exhibition Center formally convened, Microsoft officially released WP8.1 and Winodws 8.1 Update, Microsoft's new CEO, Barnard in the General Assembly speech, said He hopes that Microsoft will make it easier for developers to develop applications for Windows and other platforms, in addition to the opportunities that Windows may bring in the future, Microsoft also demonstrated a major shift in technology innovation and business strategy: voice Assistant CortanaWindowsPhone8.1 is the first product to appear at the build Convention, except for small improvements such as screen lock, the biggest change is the addition of voice assistant Cortana, although compared to Apple and Google (Weibo), Microsoft's voice assistants have come a long way, but Cortana has reached a level of accuracy, both in terms of interactive experience and precision. More importantly, with the release of Cortana, Microsoft for the first time has a complete keyboard and mouse interaction, touch interaction, body sense interaction and voice interaction technology. After landing on the Windows platform, Cortana will also log on to Windows, the Xbox platform, which means developers will be able to create a more complete interactive experience on the Microsoft platform. Cross-platform development tool WINJS at this developer's conference, Cross-platform became Microsoft's repeatedly emphasized keyword, such as IE11 will be across the mobile phone and tablet computer applications, but the bigger aspect is the WINJS, The Windows function library (WINJS), introduced by Microsoft for JavaScript Yigui years ago, will also be cross-platform. Future developers can develop Windows apps, Android apps, iOS apps, and even web apps via Winjs, which will ease the number of applications in Microsoft's App Store. If this strategy works, more and more should be developed across platforms, and Microsoft will be in a better position to compete in mobile terminals. 9-inch devices windows will be free for a long time, Microsoft's high licensing costs are one of the reasons why it is difficult to grow rapidly in the mobile end market, with almost 0 of the system's investment in Android as an early attraction for more terminal manufacturers. At this build meeting, Microsoft has finally come up with a solution to the problem-Microsoft will waive Windows licensing fees for 9-inch devices. This size of equipment is currently occupied by tablets and smartphone products, which is one of the best solutions Microsoft can think of, a comprehensive free will damage Microsoft's inherent interests in the PC market, and insisting that fees will greatly reduce Microsoft's attractiveness to smart-end vendors. This means that there will be more terminals in the future that will join the Windows arrayCamp。 The Internet of things windows is more attractive to developers than the Windows8.1 return Start menu. At the build Convention, Microsoft demonstrated a Windows system piano, but this is just a simple case of Microsoft trying to integrate Windows with other products, and Microsoft says future IoT Windows will be used for more types of devices. At present, the introduction of the Internet of things windows is not rich, the information can be identified is that the current version of Windows and the Intel Galileo platform is very close cooperation, in addition, Microsoft also announced that this version of Windows will also be provided free of charge. Clearly, Microsoft has been particularly cautious and concerned about new products and markets after having gone through the lessons of missing the mobile end market.
