Microsoft or for WINDOWS8 (figure)

August 15, the industry is talking about Google's takeover of Motorola.　　This day, Microsoft quietly announced that a year later, Microsoft will no longer provide E-book reader Microsoft Reader download services. "Does Microsoft have such a product?" "The response of netizens is rather interesting. It is not hard to understand that Microsoft reader has been so obscure since its launch. No more sad than this-a product is known for its death.　　Microsoft reader is on the way.　　Microsoft Reader is out of the office Microsoft always likes to do some thankless jobs.　　When the people of the tablet computer is still a smattering of, Microsoft pioneered the Tablet PC, but only to become Apple paving stone; When Amazon is still operating E-commerce, Microsoft has begun to work on the E-book market, the product is all the more. In 2000, Microsoft introduced an e-reader, Microsoft Reader, for E-book readers on the LCD screen. At the time, Adobe Acrobat beat other competing products and became the de facto standard format for the E-book market, and a new group of rivals began to emerge. They launch other PDF-related software, including Ghostscript, Foxit and Nitro PDFs.　　Microsoft Reader is the strongest of Adobe Acrobat's many opponents, and its files are in lit format. Microsoft Reader has been launched as Microsoft's most-promoted reading software-users can buy e-books at Microsoft's online bookstore and then use Microsoft Reader to read them, or download them to handheld computers, using the handheld computer's Microsoft　　Reader software reading. If you start Microsoft Reader for the first time, you will see a whole row of book lists called the Library. In the process of reading an ebook, if the user wants to select another book, just click the Library button to return to the book list. Then you'll see the cover of a book.　　The cover has the picture, but also has some links, may let the reader randomly jump to any page, and carries on the key reorganization, the review current reading progress and so on. "Microsoft Reader allows you to use your PDA for reading, and you can automatically recommend information with similar titles to your personal library."　　In 2001, an American Netizen wrote down his experience.　For American netizens who are accustomed to paying subscriptions to electronic newspapers, this kind of reproduction of the printing state of the electronic newspaper is nostalgic and the full combination of it fashion, while Chinese bloggers in the first experience to comment that the electronic newspaper represents the pure reading concept, open the software, read the newspaper has become the only theme.　Of course, some people think that using software to read newspapers, lack of paper newspaper reading Feelings, and the software also lacks the most popular web 2.0 interactive concept. At first, Microsoft Reader was close to Adobe Acrobat, relying on Microsoft's brand influence, and extended the battlefield to a platform represented by Microsoft.　　However, in the ensuing development, the market became increasingly indifferent to Microsoft reader, and its lit format files were not popular with users. Microsoft reader is primarily intended for traditional PCs and Tablet PCs with Windows systems.　　Microsoft Reader has been unable to roll over and gradually fade out of sight in 2005, in order to attract more users and Microsoft Reader to launch a new version of Windows Mobile 6.1 compatible. For Microsoft Reader, this trajectory seems easy to understand. The important reason users don't like it is that many lit e-books exist only in declining E-book stores, such as ebooks.com and Fictionwise, and lit e-books are mostly not best-selling books.　　This is a fatal point, without content, what does the user install it to do? 12 years old out of the "2000, the iphone has not been launched, Facebook is not online, MySpace has not been popular, 911 has not happened." This year, Microsoft introduced the E-reader Microsoft Reader. As a digital reading program running on a traditional PC, Microsoft extends it to Windows Mobile and UMPC. But sadly, Microsoft's readers have been ignoring the software giant for a long time. "The American critic Jeff Duncan so commented.　　In his view, in the 90 's and at the beginning of the century, only a specialized software company can produce high-quality operating systems and reliable services, so Microsoft can be "everywhere", however, many hardware manufacturers started software development, and the software developers industry began to make hardware, which makes Microsoft extremely uncomfortable. Amazon's Kindle entered the electronic book market in 2007. The concept of software electronic reading is gradually replaced by the Kindle, Nook and other hardware e-readers. While competing with other e-reader manufacturers such as Amazon and Barnes &noble, Microsoft's Tablet E-book market is also being eaten away by Apple's ipad.　　Through tight integration with iOS apps, the ipad provides users with a wealth of e-book services that are far more functional than Microsoft Reader. While Apple has a fairly stringent policy on iOS apps, it does not affect the huge amount of business partners in the industryTo。　　The ipad is the platform for the most available books.　　Microsoft Reader's dilemma is compounded. With the advent of BlackBerry, iphone and Android phones, Microsoft reader has faded out of sight along with the Windows Mobile platform.　　Microsoft has to kill it.　　After August 30, 2012, Microsoft will no longer provide Microsoft Reader download service, and its corresponding lit format file will be in the App Store this November 8. E-book market finally took off, Microsoft missed the opportunity to return to the beginning of the game. This starting point is an extremely dangerous position. As the traditional computer software giant, which gradually loses its voice, Microsoft needs to develop other Windows devices, as well as develop more hardware.　　But based on some bad records before Microsoft, many people are not optimistic. Paving the Windows 8 for reasons that will stop the Microsoft Reader download service, Microsoft did not disclose. Jeff Duncan that there is no reason for Microsoft to stop Microsoft's readers, but the trend seems clear: Amazon has been quite successful in the E-book market, and competition between Amazon, Sony and other e-reader makers is intensifying. In March 2010, Apple provided more than 30,000 copies of Project Gutenberg free books to enrich ibooks store content.　　Coupled with an ecosystem of perfect apples, the market is fighting fiercely. In the E-book market, Microsoft's ecosystem is not perfect--in fact, it has only Microsoft Reader's electronic reading software and an online library, and it's not easy for users to embrace the Windows platform and Microsoft Reader.　　Microsoft wants to develop its ebook market, especially on the Windows Phone platform and Windows 8, but it looks unlikely, so Microsoft has to develop a Microsoft platform solution. Earlier this year, news about Windows 8 continued. Rumor has it that Windows 8 has changed a lot compared to previous products-users can configure their own platforms, use cloud applications, share their applications and services, and hide the taskbar on the right side of the screen. No matter how big the rumor is, Microsoft wants to return to the tablet market with Windows 8.　　While Microsoft has not yet stated whether it plans to launch a similar tool on Windows 8, the timely exit of Microsoft Reader sufficient space for the speculation that Microsoft may develop a new E-book reader or tablet device. In fact, such a statement as early as this June, Microsoft and Texas Instruments during the secret talks have been spread. MicrosoftLikely to do so, after all, the E-book market is still growing rapidly.　　If Microsoft's E-book reader is a built-in feature, like a photo viewer, many Windows 8 users will be able to use it because they do not need to download or install the process. Microsoft has stopped downloading the outdated software from Microsoft Reader, but it still has an electronic library. E-books are a booming industry, and Microsoft has more reason to march than ever before.　　Today, Microsoft reader is eliminated, and perhaps tomorrow, similar apps will pop up in another place. Microsoft is committed to making the Windows 8 OS interface more user-friendly, and perhaps we can expect a Windows 8 ebook client to emerge.
