"Ten years ago, I don't know you, you are not always with a stranger, walk through the streets that are gradually familiar with." Probably, nostalgic has become our main melody of our era, so Eason Chan's "Ten" "Annual" red alloy in the north and south, become a must-have good song when recalling the first love and walking friends, friends, and those who are not too young.
Before half-old, Eason Chan sang this song, the word "ten years" is generally only used in "gentleman avenge, ten years old". Today, sing, a good song is penetrating some biting teeth. The lyrics are not implying that there is a war that is worth having a sociologist who has nothing to do with a good job.
Just, ten years is too long, let us only talk about four years. Four years, just a reincarnation of an Olympics, so we have seen the birth of countless heroes; just let the university in this big dyeing tank to get a ruddy child into a suit to wear a suit with a resume to find a job. Poor insects; four years can also evolve the ultra-white gold generation into the mud. Therefore, it can be grinded in ten years, and it can be grinded in four years.
As soon as I said, Silent couldn't help but remember Sun. Four sun constitute a big sign, why is it not five, nor three, is the Chinese people most disfused "4" in the foreigner in the old eyes? Foreigners must not know that the sun is more than being shot. Scientists have proven that the earth is warming, a sun has made China's large urban pull power, not to mention four. So until I did "friends" for many years until SUN, I understand the tears of Silent, not for Sun, and the fall of SUN is fundamentally a fate.
Four years ago, Sun was still a good Han in the sales of UNIX servers. Basically, there is capital and Microsoft. When Linux entered the development of the fast lane, Sun immediately fell into the stavorial situation - the original only had a opponent, but now there is a Linux. It is impossible to use Microsoft's anti-Linux to take advantage of Linux, and refuse to give up on our favorite Solaris. So, in four years, we have seen a Sun in Linux and Solaris, and see a sun that gradually throws up the UNIX server share, almost sees a hysterical sun.
Three years ago, we saw Sun's sales gradually showed a decline. In March of the year, IDC data showed IBM to become the world. To this end, Sun and IBM have also conducted the strongest competition in history. If a person is in a hurry, it will be invincible, and Sun will think of Linux. In August two years ago, Sun announced loud: We have to engage in Sun Linux. I haven't waited for a year. In March last year, Sun also announced the development of Sun Linux and turned with Red Hat. I have been here in April this year, but Sun is good! Sun announced to Microsoft to reach an agreement, and solved all the tricky problems involving both parties. It became Microsoft's comrades and brothers between the blinks. True to this August, SUN broke the news again: consider the acquisition of the world's second largest Linux operating system supplier Novell!
In addition to everyone, experts who have a clear brain pointed out: Novell acquisition of SUSE's $ 210 million in cash, Sun's opponent IBM provides 5 million investments, which makes Sun acquire Novell completely impossible. What's more, if you want to buy who is, you will not proclaim all the ideas in advance. The only excuse that looks reasonably is: This shows that Sun is changing business models to collect lost land from IBM, Der, HP. Please, what is the company in this world that has not been revolutionary and optimistic and a large fearless development spirit? So, SUN cow, facing the public's doubts, throwing a sentence: "We can tell you that: Sun is now in more than 20 years, the strong asset balance sheet makes Sun have the ability to pay debts, repurchase Shares, implementation of acquisitions or other investments. "" The whole country is desperately fallen down, and the long goes. " That scene, Liu Xiang, who is running out of 12 seconds, 91, is also a great shore.
But specifically, SCO, it takes only three years.
Just three years ago, I killed 10,000 people, and I would like to think that this company that is changed from Caldera International to SCO Group (SCO) on August 27, 2001. When several years, we must write a memoir in the development of Linux, from 2001 to 2004, Linux, has gradually changed from internal to production to the SCO, this is a three-year change of Fengyun, too Three years of hard struggle.
SCO's president and CEO DARL McBride once said three years ago: "Change the name from Caldera to SCO will make our market status more stable. In the past 20 years, SCO is almost reliable, stable, low-cost and efficient Synonyms. Now, whether we offer UNIX or Linux products will use this loud brand. "Yes, the name of SCO is really louder, but the loudness must be divided into a long-term bustling or notorious. At this point, the SCO has been the best explanation with practical actions.
Regarding SCO VS Linux, the best explanation is also the judgment of the court, but recently in court to eat. A judge has dismissed most of the accusation of the SCO accusation; a case in July, the judge of the case pointed out that from 1996 contracts unable to judge who had UNIX copyright in SCO and Novell; IBM also took the opportunity to counterattack in August, allegations of the SCO side alleged Linux infringement, and continued to spread Linux software two weeks ago, including the company's source code that infringes UNIX rights, not to be a contradiction. On the one hand, the judge's "cold ruthless", on the one hand, IBM's poor championship, unavailable, SCO stood up this month said: Currently, we don't intend to prosecute more Linux users. This is not a conscience of SCO, but swimming, bicycles come back to a long run - SCO to play with three tributes is also a primary stage - the force is not from the heart. So let us like the Olympic referee, loudly sco!
However, spent three years to grind into a unique SCO, and Linus Torvald also had a full reason for the eyebrows. Just like old beauty always hinders our uniformity by distributing the wrong signal and selling a large number of weapons, "There are always some people who want to use legal issues to hinder the development of open source movements." The father of Linux did not worry , "Technology, I didn't see any challenge, but some legal disputes have caused great impact on Linux development", not to mention "this problem is not currently solved, nor I can control."
Needless to feel frustrated. We are not unwilling to wait for the opponent's miscarriage to see a gold medal in the sky, and the luck in Linux is so good. We are not superman wearing in panties, of course, nothing can be controlled. In the past four years, there have been statistical data and forecasting information about various Linux development, we are completely uncontrolled. More than a thousand days, surrounding Linux and Windows, there is always two topics that are particularly eye-catching. The first is who is cheaper than anyone; the second is that Linux accounts for how much the desktop market share. If it is not the introduction of these two questions, we can not be able to understand the FUD in Linux now. We can not know that Microsoft doesn't know how Microsoft has spent so many gunners - Microsoft is really Money!
Anyway, the first question is not a objective issue, but a watch question: cheap, what is cheap? What is the criteria? Anyway, Linux support emphasizes the advantage of unlicensed costs; Windows support is highlighted by the overall cost low. Generally speaking, I can't solve the problem, we always hope to have an authority. It is a pity that there is too much authority, and there is also a lot of authority and it has been bought. Therefore, the words that authoritaries are often contradictory. Just get these ordinary people in the mist. With Silent's "Proud" experience, in 2001, 02, Linux supported sent a whose wind, and the two years of Windows support school gradually worked. The result of the debate? Anyway, general customers emphasize the economic performance of Linux, only Microsoft's leading cadres' conferences emphasize the overall cost cost. Everyone is mirror.
As for the second question, typically belongs to the in-depth reform and opening up. There are also two years, but there are not many, the debate is not intense. It's different now. In ancient times, the Central Plains got the world, and now I don't think that the desktop is getting the world. Therefore, it is also very concerned about the desktop.
In this month, Gartner, which has consistently related to Microsoft, pointed out that although the sales volume of Linux PC will reach a total PC amount of 5%, but this does not mean that there are so many Linux applications on the desktop. The company said that it is truly 2% of the total amount of desktop PC using Linux. By 2008, Linux PC shipments will account for 7.5% of the total PC, but the actual use only accounts for 3.5%. The IDC said in the same month: In 2003, the sales of Linux servers has exceed UNIX servers, and the market share reaches 16%, reaching 17% in the first quarter of 2004, becoming a second largest operating system in the field of server. IDC also predicts that Linux will grow at 25% per year in the next few years, and China's Linux market will remain 40%. In the face of such predictions, Silent can only say that Gartner is not good Bird, but the IDC is best not Beiler.
Written, LinuxWorld (Beijing) 2004 conference opened. Written, the Olympic Games ended. Written and written, the space is a bit long. Written, Silent wrote four years. Athens people use mythical depiction of dreams, Silent uses the fragment of the record time. I really hope that after ten years later, we can also greetings, turn the ten years, turn the reasons for embrace.
Well, let's let it be!
