Domestic operating system is hard to replace

Perhaps in one months, based on the "application store version" of the domestic operating system will accept the market "test."

At a recent annual meeting of Chinese and foreign multinationals, academician NI said once again that the domestic operating system based on the app store would be expected to be launched in October this year, and would probably replace Windows XP, up to 57.8% per cent of Chinese users, within 1-2 years.

Earlier, ni in the "First financial daily" interview, said the domestic operating system, such as desktop operating system has been for many years, but still controlled.

However, the domestic operating system has to face the reality is that on the one hand, the development of foreign systems there is a serious path dependence, on the other hand, the international manufacturers still occupy an absolute market position in the operating system, to really realize the replacement of domestic operating system is not easy.

"The past domestic operating system is not because of lack of talent, lack of market, lack of funds, but did not form the national will, the lack of top-level design." Now, under the leadership of the Central network security and Information Technology Leadership Group Office, the use of industrial alliances such innovative mechanisms, integration of resources, to the national power to do, or can be industrialized. Ni told reporters.

He told reporters that at present, China to do mobile operating system enterprises can cite more than 10, but could not be said to be independent intellectual property rights, are customized on Android, and very similar. Therefore, to make the operating system, we must change the past practice, not to copy the previous model, but to the accumulation of resources in the past to integrate, the state-led to do a unified operating system.

To this end, the domestic establishment of China's intelligent terminal operating system Industry Alliance, the membership includes more than 80 units from all walks of life. NI that the business model of operating system innovation is very important, "to create a Google, Apple, Microsoft to contend with the ecological environment, which is the key to our success." ”

"Desktop and mobile, wearable systems will become more and more integrated, we learn apple, is to better model innovation." Ni said that at present, China's intelligent terminal operating system Industry Alliance is brewing the establishment of industrial funds, can be the strength of the enterprise co-financing, and technology companies can use intellectual property rights to buy shares. The application store will also adopt the company mode of operation, the domestic 15 operating system development enterprises to unite, first from the standardization.

"Before real industry competition arises, it is premature to talk about competition." "One of the industry Alliance participants, the winning software director Li Zhenning in an interview, said that the current desktop operating system is still a single Microsoft, we must recognize the fact that, although this year's attention to the industry, but ranked behind the Microsoft No.2 is who, we have not seen.

Li Zhenning to reporters that the "domestic substitution" needs of the cycle may be longer, in addition to talent, there is the compatibility between the system issues, as well as the rich problem of application software. "Microsoft's apps are a hundred thousand of or above millions, we have a short effort to make hundreds of, but there is a lot of distance from the market." ”

In fact, according to the operating system market survival law, usually a market can only accommodate 3~4 operating system to obtain a better distribution of benefits, the formation of their own ecological system, to achieve a positive cycle. For example, mobile terminals of Android, IOS, WP, BlackBerry Four, in fact, the first two cities accounted for almost 90%, and then both continue to invest in the process of capital to build ecosystems, the situation is not optimistic. Desktop side of the OS is a single Microsoft, domestic OS can compete in the domestic market, is the first after the 34th place.

According to Li Zhenning, at present the above industry Alliance 15 manufacturers Market share together may not be one-tenth of Microsoft.

However, it can be seen that the establishment of the Central Network and information engineering and other factors are stimulating the growth of the industry. Li Zhenning told reporters that Beijing and Guangzhou already have a part of the subway ticket system used in our bid for Kirin's operating system. Li Zhenning told reporters that, in addition, Dell also announced in the commercial computer products pre-installed on the basis of the Linux Kirin software operating system.

"At present, the domestic enterprises to do is from Microsoft's market to grab some share, as long as the manufacturer has its own technical capabilities, service capabilities, better to meet customer demand, users can accept." "Li Zhenning said.
