Tianji Network News (Reporter Song Baoqiang) On October 23, China's first desktop Linux system that supported "mixed deployment" officially pushed to the market. With this desktop Linux system, Beijing Creative Open Source Software Co., Ltd. (Creative Open Source) also issued a "mixed deployment" office suite - a total of office.
From the interface style and operation, the shared release of Linux and Office are extremely similar to Windows XP and Office XP, and the function is also relatively close.
Zhang Wei, a total of open source and technical director, said that "hybrid deployment" means that a unit can use domestic software, partially use Microsoft products, and users who use different systems can achieve complete interoperability between each other, including document free exchange , The method of operation is similar, the function is the same. This allows users to maximize costs without the need for training and no loss of work efficiency.
Why did you choose to solve it with Microsoft, not "challenge Microsoft"? Zhang Wei believes that "users have become accustomed to the operation habits and document formats of Microsoft products. If all replacement is another system, they will pay great consideration because of file exchange and user training. Software development companies cannot see from their own point of view Question, want to think from the user's perspective, let the developed product truly meet the needs of users. "
"Microsoft has formed the market's fact standard in the desktop operating system and office software. At present, we must accept reality rather than fighting reality. It can be said that the previous manufacturers have walked into this area," said Zhang Wei, "We can't fantasize users." All night parts are all replaced on your product, and create a company to promote domestic software and Microsoft products coexist, and achieve hybrid deployment in the user. "
Lu Shouqun, Chairman, China Open Source Conference, is very recognized by the "mixed deployment" concept. He believes that China's development Linux is not replacing Microsoft products. Compared with Windows, Linux has its own Windows unparalleled processing capabilities and security. Demand is relatively stable and specific applications such as banks such as banks and other enterprises, and Linux has a large market development prospect. Jiang Guangzhi, Director of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission, expressed similar views that Linux enterprises's products considering the actual needs of users, and the factual standards of mainstream products were very pragmatic.
The reporter noted in the product demo process, a total of open source for this release of Linux2005 gave a new feeling in operation habits, functions, operation interfaces, and creating Office2005 can simultaneously under Windows and Linux platforms. Run, and complete seamless document exchange with Microsoft Office.
Does the "hybrid deployment" involve intellectual property rights? The same problem facing another famous office software manufacturer in China, Jinshan Company will introduce a new generation of office software products V6 (R & D code) also refers to Microsoft's products.
"We have done a lot of investigations, research and consultation in intellectual property, and the opinions of industry experts are that the key is not to use the same file format as MS Office, but whether the technical solution for implementing this function violates patents. Zhang Wei explained that "Microsoft currently has a total of 326 patents in China. Under the leadership of the superior sector, the company has analyzed all the patents involving office suits and desktop Linux systems. It has confirmed that there is no violation of patents. As for the operation interface, since the collection is only similar, it is not the same as Microsoft products, so it is in line with the requirements of the copyright law. "
It is reported that the newly launched LINUX and the creation of Office have been in more than 20 institutions including the Beijing Municipal Information Office and the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission. At the same time, the two software products that have been opened to open source have been all included in the government procurement catalog. Jiang Guangzhi said at the ongoing conference that Beijing will complete the government software procurement of government software in November. (Finish)
