Comments: Microsoft Windows overall turn "cloud + end" few impossible

Wen/Li Shuai Microsoft China has recently begun to promote their plans to replace Windows XP. The Microsoft China Chief Technology officer Sandy Gupta recently received media interviews, and once again moved out of the XP security indicators are not suitable for modern enterprise "old", to urge enterprises to upgrade to the updated system as soon as possible. So we can only say once again that the "security" issue is even more of a problem for most of the existing users of XP. In fact, the 60% XP market share that Microsoft is worried about is not necessarily made up of Microsoft's most important revenue source, the corporate user. A large proportion of these users are users of homes, schools and internet cafes. Even within the enterprise, there is a large part of the "Orphan terminal" that is not connected to the Internet at all. In the register, the medical prescription system, the outdoor big screen system and so on all needs off-line or only with the company intranet connection's equipment, is widespread applies the XP standard version, but is not Microsoft for these systems specially prepares the embedded version Windows XP Embedded, Because it is not easy to get an embedded version of the authorization, but also directly to a set of pirated XP, installed after the use of no difference (but also a bit more function). and home users and Internet cafes users face a plethora of security risks, the absolute wheel does not occupy the main position of the operating system. My previous article says that as long as the latest Internet browsers still support XP, they will still be able to meet the demands of the Internet in the next 20 years or even longer. Barring a round of upgrades, all Internet devices support a new form of presentation overnight, which may not be based on an Internet browser. But if that happens, the traditional PC market will have to die. There is no point in discussing whether to ban XP. The Cloud + end is pushed away in office, but Windows is still not able to pull it back. It may be more noteworthy that Microsoft's pay model for its real cash cow office software has shifted. Microsoft has assumed that all users of their office software can access the Internet, and a handful of print shop users who do not have access to the Internet can activate their Office365 copies if they intentionally choose to do so, either on a monthly or yearly basis. If Windows comes out a Windows 365 and works well, it does seem to ease the pressure on Microsoft to push users to upgrade. Because monthly or yearly pay can guarantee users always use the latest version of the system. Under the premise of using genuine, they can change the new system at will without extra charge. But there is always a need for some of the computers that are completely isolated from the Internet and that require a long, steady run--not a handful. So it is easy to know that it is impossible to extend the "cloud + End" subscription model to the operating system domain. How can we imagine a large enterprise as a server or other key partRunning a computer that needs to be activated once every other year by the IT department? How can we imagine that a computer that runs stably on the big square screen suddenly pops up "Windows needs to be activated in 3 days" tips? The operating system is the foundation on which everything else is run, and it is possible to achieve Internet connectivity and more. An operating system that itself requires a permanent connection to the Internet, which expires over time, may be the biggest "security risk" for a company in general. Microsoft has been activating the system through a large client like KMS, trying to get big businesses to eliminate the worry of it. But this can only further the enterprise bundled in Microsoft's own solution, with a certain "strong buy strong sell" means. What businesses really need is that I buy your set of operating systems-perhaps plus a set of office--that I can use for a lifetime, and we don't owe each other. The benefit of the Cloud + end is that you can deactivate and swap alternatives at any time, but this does not apply to the operating system. Deploying Office is far less difficult than deploying an operating system, not to mention the cost of training. To promote the "cloud + END" must be internal unity, strong broken wrist Maybe Microsoft is now using the market advantage to reverse filter users, especially if they are no longer the only choice for users. In the Office world, Google Docs and Apple's Iworks software have long eroded Microsoft Office's choice as the default Office software. Microsoft may be able to learn from Adobe. CS Suite is creative workers to create Web pages, processing pictures, the production of vector graphics and web animation of the preferred software, was once called "web design of the Three Musketeers." Adobe has now canceled all one-time licensing releases and is concentrating on promoting their CC subscriptions. Although few people are bullish on their transition, because they cut off any channels that users choose to authorize separately (except piracy), they successfully broke through 1 million subscribers in the third quarter, a major milestone in the transition to the company that has long been selling desktop software. The embrace of a broken wrist by a cloud strategy is the key to the eventual turn of the crisis into a machine. A column was published by a foreign media. The company where its authors were used to do cloud services. But at the same time, their class Salesforce sales software is the main source of attracting cash. When it comes to promoting cloud services, it's not that companies are abandoning one-time-paid software. Only senior executives want to push the cloud strategy. Middle-class managers often wonder: are they continuing to develop their old bank's one-time-pay software or software as a service (SaaS) product? This makes the sales and development team unaware of their priorities. Finally, none of the two products were made. Although Microsoft Office is still publishing a small amount of Office2013 authorization for one-time sales, overall, the target market forThe diversion of fice365 has seen results. By September, according to Microsoft's latest figures, they had sold 2 million Office365 Home Premium editions, and 60% of Fortune 500 business companies had switched to Office365 's corporate version. This shows that Microsoft is making a similar success with Adobe. However, from the current situation, I still can not be rash to conclude, now is a PC operating system of the stand-alone retail version of the total cut off, into the cloud version of the moment. Perhaps the PC will never be ushered in such a moment. It is more likely that Windows XP will continue to survive stubbornly and see the moment when the PC may eventually die out.
