Microsoft XP Transition plan temporarily changed, finally holding hands 360

First of all, to declare: This part of the point of view, the point of view, non-peak brother, and the company has no interest in the dispute, only from the perspective of the bystander evaluation of the matter.

Yesterday, Microsoft China's official micro-blog released the Windows XP transition solution, Weibo said "will be with the domestic security and safety software company 3,601 Cooperation, for the vast number of XP users to continue to provide transitional security services, as well as a convenient WINDOWS8 upgrade program."

In other words, in the months of the XP scramble, the final partner is 360. This result is a bit of a surprise, but also with the online rumors Tencent will take over the XP protection services of the news is poor.

Microsoft's true Intentions

Earlier, Microsoft announced it would terminate its Windows XP service in April this year on the grounds of "insecurity". Terminating the service means Microsoft will no longer release XP vulnerabilities and patches, and is not responsible for the security of XP, which means Microsoft has officially abandoned the XP system.

You know, at least 200 million of XP's loyal users in China are sticking to XP, which accounts for 73% of XP's global market share. If you can convert this part of the XP user to WIN8 users, even if it is 1%, Microsoft can also be a moment to catch a sum. XP System "unsafe", from the mouth of Microsoft, always feel something wrong. As the real estate development company says its house is unsafe. But on the back of Microsoft's revenue performance in China, you will find that as the demographic dividend of China's PC shipments continues to fall, XP is giving them less revenue.

This is not difficult to see Microsoft's true intentions, to give up XP is to give users better service, for their own better. If users choose not to upgrade, then Microsoft depends on what profit, and where to continue to develop funds.

Microsoft's original cooperation director Liu Run's words also verified this point, he said, "In fact, XP has already exceeded the service period, the middle of Windows Vista,windows 7 has not stopped, because too popular, can't stop." Second, Microsoft does not have a "security protection" concept, any vendor can provide continuous anti-virus and security protection. Finally (in) emotional (user) unacceptable, (this is) Tencent, 360 business opportunities.

It is noteworthy that most of our government agencies are currently using Microsoft's services, and it is true that a considerable number of government agencies are using XP. If Microsoft decides to shut down XP, the Chinese government will certainly not do it, because such software upgrades are bound to be a small amount of fiscal spending. Assuming that Microsoft really enforces user upgrades, it could spark international disputes, after all, Microsoft is an American enterprise.

As for today's "transition" or "XP protection", Microsoft is only used to ease outside opinion and to compromise with the Chinese government.

Why not Tencent, but 360

From his friends at Microsoft, Tencent was the first Chinese Internet vendor to have contacted Microsoft to take over XP, and it also provided a very good solution for Microsoft, the System transition program.

But just a few days before the two sides will sign the deal, Microsoft suddenly changed its mind.

Because of the news from the Chinese government's public relations department, Tencent's ally Jinshan has been encouraging the Chinese government to use WPS, a disguised form of Microsoft's face.

Not only that, he also blew up a material, said that at that time, Microsoft is not associated with Lenovo, Tencent's XP system handover cooperation, just because Lenovo is a major client of Microsoft operating system, so Microsoft must not have come forward to support Lenovo. Adding to the pressure from the Chinese government, Microsoft has made it a default to work with Tencent.

At the same time, peak brother also asked 360 of friends, 360 of friends told Peak brother, they began from Valentine's Day has begun to contact with Microsoft, until March 11 before the final decision. He said that they mainly captured Microsoft's core needs, alluding to the Microsoft system upgrades, so Microsoft chose them. Detailed cooperation details did not to the peak brother revealed.

However, peak brother Guess, 360 certainly gave some kind of Tencent did not mention the interests, only to impress Microsoft. Is this the profit point is 360 to buy out XP right to use, for users to pay Microsoft? Or do they have a bigger conspiracy?

One side is in the Office software has the competition relations Tencent Alliance, the other side is to flatter own 360, although he is the rascal, but how also is better than the competitor, therefore chooses 360 also then takes for granted.

Why Internet manufacturers compete for obsolete XP

Many people may think impassability, a eliminated system why Tencent, Baidu, Jinshan, 360 and other internet manufacturers will scramble for its "security protection" right.

That is because in the Internet industry, has been circulating the "access to the world," the thinking, and there is no more direct access than the system. Like IE, the user experience is general, but because the system is built, users have no choice, so over the years it has been sitting in the browser market the first place.

Unfortunately, China does not have a self-developed operating system with high public usage rates. So even if XP is facing elimination, it has his value at the moment, not to mention that he has 200 million users.

In this transition period, 360 can use it to do a lot of things, including but not limited to through the guise of system upgrades to users to install 360 of the product, think it is still a little scary?

In short, according to the current situation to see Tencent was fooled by Microsoft, 360 successful reverse attack. Of course, there is also a possibility that many companies also have access to XP "security" rights, except that Microsoft only announced one, or each in the Microsoft upgrade process to play a different role.
