Applying developers are their own arrays, and they are not compatible with each other. They have been accused of the industry, and it is also a popular bottleneck in Linux. However, the free standard organization established before recently brought hope to all Linux supporters: Can Pesengers broker, freely flying? We look forward to......
Linux grows to the main competition of the window operating system. It is gradually annoyed to this Microsoft. For people to move people's confidence in Linux, Microsoft can say that the decomposition of the whole body. Not long ago, Microsoft published an advertisement in a publication in Germany, without irony. The advertisement picture is like this: four penguins stand into a row, the first time I usually see the penguin seen on the painting; the second penguin has a long hare ear; the third growing frog's head There are two antlers on the brain; the fourth is more comic, there is a pair of pig ears and a huge unparalleled nose. Eye people can understand Microsoft's usage: Linux is a coat, in fact, the content is different. There is a line of words under the bottom: "A open operating system without any use."
No matter what kind of heart, Microsoft's advertisements have certain facts: it pointed out the potential serious problems of Linux. The most attractive place to open the operating system is that the Unix operating system that is not compatible with each other is different, and the free programmer of Linux applications is premised on such a hypothesis, that is, all applications. The programs can be run on any Linux version, which makes Linux into the most likely substitute for the window operating system.
Linux first forms a unified standard
However, the current status is not consistent with ideals, and the most popular commercial Linux package - Red Hat Linux does not run directly on Novell's SUSE Linux operating system or other less popular versions, it is necessary to pass some "tail". As software companies develop more applications on the basic procedure, the incompatible potential issues between Linux applications will become more serious.
What makes Linux enthusiasts are quite gratifying that the above issues have seen the hope of solving. On September 13th, Free Standards Group - A non-profit organization has been established, and its purpose is to ensure compatibility between different Linux versions. The organization also published a file called "Linux standard base 2.0" to ensure that all applications can run on any Linux version.
The world's dozens of Linux product providers have expressed support for unified standards, and many large companies that support Linux also agree with Intel, HP, Dell, AMD and IBM. The analyst of the market analyzer IDC Dan Queens, "Compared with the past, Linux did forward a big step, many end users have guaranteed that all program providers are available to each other."
How far is it from the truly replacement WinOS?
The above actions have developed a broad application prospect for Linux. Up to now, the application of Linux operating system is limited to some websites, search engines, mail service systems, and complex data processing processes, and LINUX only has a foothold in LINUX, there is still a big development space, including Accounting, human resource management, delivery chain, and customer relationships.
Programs provided by some major enterprise applications are usually running on the Red Hat and Novell Suse, but some contractors have chosen some of the relatively fewer versions, especially in some emerging markets such as China and India. It is common. In addition, some small program developers don't think about whether their products can be in any Linux version. The Freedom Standard Organization Executive Director Jim Ximlin said, "If the entire Linux development industry can reach a uniform, it can become a real open alternative to the window operating system." The application developer will not take a consistent support action? Now I have time to answer. But they have never signed an early unified standard, the main reason is that the standard does not support C languages, and most of the programmers have written business applications in the past. The new standard version has made some relevant revisions and is therefore expected to be widely accepted.
Jeritas Software (VRTS) Vice President of the company's competent market, Jeremy Burton, said that "new standards will make our life more convenient, easy to switch in different application environments is a good thing." VRTS is a leading storage Managing software developers, all software products from VRTS can run in the Linux environment.
Even if there is a large number of application developers accepted this standard, they can't make sure Linux immediately captured Microsoft's position. But if there is no such standard, the development of Linux can only be here. After having standards, the company's chief technology officer has also received a reason to love Linux. Fighting for future calculation positions is still difficult, therefore, there is a preciousness of every point of winning.
