The "Business Week" published in September 13, published that the open resource Linux operating system has a variety of versions in the market, and each version of the software can hardly interlerance, which is also caused by the company's purchaser. Trouble, but recently introduced Linux multi-platform unified software standards marking the end of this chaotic situation, I believe that the penguins that will be unified after the new face will appear in front of the company users in the company, and they are favored. As an open resource operating system Linux, the head, Microsoft demonstrated a more interesting advertisement in Germany: 4 cute penguins in the advertisement stand, one of which seems to be normal, the second rabbit The same long ears, the third there is a frog's head and ant at the tentacles, and the last one with pigs and the trunk of elephants. Microsoft's meaning is very obvious: Although the Linux operating system has a unified name, there is now a variety of complex different software versions on the market. Just on Microsoft's advertisements have a clear slogan: "Open resource brings more than just the advantages." Microsoft's advertisements were very smart, and he clearly pointed out a potential serious problem of Linux operating system. A large reason for Linux attracts users is that it is different from UNIX. The latter is mandatory. Split has become a few mutually incompatible versions, and software is difficult to circulate between different versions of UNIX, and users of the Linux operating system can The effects of various versions compatible are achieved by simple rewriting software. This also makes the Linux operating system a strong competitor of Microsoft Windows. However, those designed to be used on the most popular commercial Linux, such as the Red Flag Linux platform must be slightly modified to run on other versions of the Linux platform, such as NovellSuselinux. As these software products have added more and more new elements in the software, it is more harder to be more serious. However, for Linux supporters, they are still lucky. September 13 this year, FreestandardsGroup, a non-profit organization to ensure compatibility between different versions of Linux operating system software issued a technical standard called LinuxStandard Base 2.0, promulgated, different versions of this standard Linux can make more convenient sharing software products. So far, there are dozens of different Linux versions in a global scale indicating that this standard will be observed. These include some of the various fields with considerable companies, such as Intel, HP, Dell, and AMD and blue giants IBM. "Through this plan, users can get their own software in all software providers without worrying about the compatibility of different versions of the Linux operating system." Market survey institution IDC analyzing home list is said. The promulgation of this standard undoubtedly adds a weight of the Wealth for Linux. So far, the Linux operating system for open resources is mainly used for web pages, search engines, email systems, and complex digital calculations. In the commercial use of the company users, Linux is just just starting, such as financial systems, human resources systems, and supply and demand chain customer relationship systems. Most commercial use Linux software has made a corresponding change in order to make normal use on different versions of the Linux platform, such as the common redhat on the market and the NovellSuselinux platform. However, those Linux platforms that have not had enough influence often do not have a good software support, which is particularly remarkable in those regions that Linux just start, such as China and India. At the same time, some small Linux software manufacturers do not have sufficient energy and technology to change their software according to different Linux platforms. "If Linux can unify the software platform architecture soon, it will really make a substantive threat to Microsoft's Windows platform." FreestandardsGroup CEO Jim said.
