Tencent Technology: Everyone Tencent friends good! Today we are delighted to interview Mr. Zhang, Microsoft's global vice-president, and first ask him to say hello.

Zhang: Hello!

Tencent Technology: We know that you have been to the IT leaders ' summit many times, this time you are participating in the topic of "on the Transition" topic. Can we talk about the transformation of the IT industry first?

Zhang: The IT industry is undergoing a lot of change, whether it's from the technology or the industrial model, looking at the current cloud computing, the natural user interface, the mobile Internet is an important trend in the whole change of it. So I think this time at the summit to discuss these issues, I would like to talk about the changes in the traditional IT industry, the Internet industry, as well as some developers in the end what kind of basis and challenges.

Tencent Technology: We see you recently launched W7, this strategy in China for developers have some support. What are the effects of introducing W7 first? What's good for developers?

Zhang: We have been talking, I talked about 7, 8 years, our strategy is the Cloud plus end, W7.5 is also our cloud plus end strategy is very important part of the mobile terminal, W7.5 launch. It has an operating system, there are some particularly good, easy to interact with the natural user interface, there is also a background support of the cloud, this cloud has a variety of content, there are users of their own information, but also provide a number of different applications, by developers to provide applications, also have their own developed applications.

Tencent technology: The domestic mobile operating system, there are N9, Ann Table, IOS,WP7, also launched, you think WP7 this piece about how long can take up a better share?

Zhang: WP7 launched a year, China is 7.5 has been launched, more than a year, has been a good market positive feedback, currently has 70,000 applications, hundreds of thousands of of developers to develop different services. What's the situation? I would like to cite a more authoritative Third-party investigative agency, he said: In 2015, the WP7 operating system will account for 20% of the smartphone's share. will be second, Ann table or WP7, then iOS, we want to do better. Support for the entire global developer, especially our strategy is relatively open, iOS is a closed system, we and operators and handset manufacturers, especially and developers have a very deep cooperation, we believe that this is a large open ecological environment. We are very optimistic and very optimistic about China.

Tencent technology: There is no explicit support strategy for Chinese developers.

Zhang: We are now encouraging developers to enjoy the WP5 platform, we have a lot of developers meeting, developers have any questions we have to answer, we also have a development of STK, for everyone to choose, already have a lot of support. Like MSDA, if you do it, in the new STK has WP5 technical support, there is also a benefit, WP5 itself is familiar with the platform, he and W platform basically, development tools are in (4 minutes 44 seconds) inside, for developers is relatively easy.

Tencent technology: You expect mobile internet in the next year or two, what kind of sustainable development.

Zhang: Mobile internet and desktop Internet will be larger than n times, is 2 or 10, we have different views, overall speaking is very big progress, this development needs process, may need 3-10 years of slow development, we do not fry him overheated, to follow the industry to develop their own laws, now more and more intelligent terminals, Development platform is more and more mature, there are many applications. These are good things, but patience is now the beginning of mobile Internet development.

Tencent Technology: Recently, the internet economy has been living in China's sixth-largest economy, which accounts for about 5.5 of GDP, and how you view the role of the Internet economy in the entire national economy.

Zhang: Now the internet is an essential thing in every industry. I remember saying 5 years ago that every company in the future is an internet company, or a business that engages in the Internet, or is using the Internet. The internet plays an essential role in the industrial structure of China as a whole and in the development of China's economy. Just speaking 5.5%, I think it might be a little bit bigger and see how you do statistics. Now which industry, which company, which consumer is not using the Internet.

Tencent technology: Microsoft IT factor more, these two years also to the Internet transformation. Will your elements of the Internet become more and more intense.

Zhang: I don't think the internet and it are different, the Internet is it,it is the Internet. So Microsoft now if look at the layout, one is the cloud add end, 80% of research and development resources in the cloud, OFFice365 is above the cloud, W8 is the cloud plus end. (7 minutes 22 seconds) is the world's largest gaming social network, of course, now doing search in the United States also more than 30% of the market share. We are an internet company, we are a cloud computing company, we are an intelligent terminal company.

Tencent technology: How do you see the role of cloud computing in the Internet field?

Zhang: Cloud computing is the new structure of IT industry, the Internet industry itself is born in the cloud inside, is already inside the cloud. Whether it's search or email, it's already in the cloud. Cloud computing is more about non-internet companies, cloud computing itself, 90% of the functionality of the Computing Center Datacenter, and the platform may be for non-internet companies. Internet companies are also doing well and continue to expand their investment in cloud computing, which provides a huge opportunity for traditional companies. It has changed the entire architecture, and recently an analysis, Microsoft and IDC analysis, in the next 5 years, cloud computing will create 13 million new jobs, especially in China and India to create more than 8 million new jobs, create a 1.5 trillion dollar new economy. The opportunity is immense. But also I want to say, cloud computing is sometimes mystifying, feeling is hype, cloud computing itself is not hype is not fooled, but sometimes by others hype, we develop cloud computing, in China to follow the laws of industrial development itself, not government behavior, is the market behavior, is a business behavior, not the government's behavior. I think there will be more consensus in this forum.

Tencent technology: In other words, cloud computing is not to engage in land development?

Zhang: Cloud computing may need a computing center at some point, but it's not necessarily connected to the land itself.

Tencent technology: Thank you for your acceptance of the Tencent technology interview.

Zhang: Thank you!
