The "IT Dafa" tells the ten failures of IT, each has a representative. And there is a feeling of recognition, so write these feelings, see if these similar cases will repeat. (Disclaimer: This article does not hope that these companies will fail, the only purpose is to use history, I hope everyone will go less)
I. Open standard: 1.RAR and zip Compass: In the DOS era, ZIP is a must-have compression tool, this inertia brings ZIP to the Internet age. But now RAR's usage is getting higher and higher, gradually zip It is no longer the only overlord.
An important difference between them is whether the algorithm is open, Zip is a free, open compression standard (see here), and RAR, the RAR is different from the founder of Pkware, and the RAR is different, and its algorithm is confidential. Because of law, it is not possible to use in other software without permission (see Copyright Notice).
In this way, WinRAR can handle the ZIP file, but Winzip does not dare to move to the RAR file, simply mad at Winzip. Plus RAR is indeed higher than ZIP compression, so users gradually from Zip from Zip from ZIP Transition, leading to Rar's share of the total line.
If the Zip's algorithm is not disclosed, it is also protected by law, then Rar wants to succeed more.
2. Open Java's call: Whether the Java source code is open, Sun and IBM compete for boiling. The IT Dafa is telling the IBM release Silicon Beast, so that IBM has lost the control of IBM compatible machine, which caused it to lose the PC market. Unlucky experience. Now, the 80s is IBM himself to release Silicon Beast, now IBM release Software beast. In the influence of IBM in the open source, once Sun opens Java source code, IBM is likely to ride to Sun On the head, Sun is lost to Java control.
II. Shrink products:
Windows XP Starter Edition: To combat piracy, Microsoft launched the XP in some countries, which launched the PC Junior version of IBM at the beginning of the original IBM! Even the name is so like, I don't know if Microsoft's XP SE version can succeed, we Waiting for a look. Maybe XP SE is only an excuse to combat pirated preparation.
Third. The same room figures: RealPlayer and Realone: RealPlayer 10.5 in the first few days released, I am very strange to REALONE, how does RealPlayer run out, is it different from REALONE? Can two software installed? Which is suitable? I use it? Although I have questions, I still lazy to find information, go with it, anyway, my realone can broadcast. RM / .rmvb is on. Look at the comments, everyone's reaction is almost. Although not in the same room, However, it is also zero and games, which is also unfavorable to establish a brand. IV. Market relationship: Wince: This is a positive example, Microsoft announces 70% Windows CE source code to third parties, Microsoft puts third-party developers as a master. It's no wonder, Symbian, J2ME is a very good application platform, and Microsoft is very powerful in the enemy in this field. If you want Microsoft pull a few Windows hair, there is no.
5. Bubble:
BLOG: Recently, Blog is too much attention, many people still don't know what blog is starting to write. More people have played the blog economy, I don't know if they can succeed.
6. Technology orientation, market-oriented:
Java and Flash: Java is launched in 1995. Flash is launched in 1996. Java positioning is the language of the network era. It is a java applet ---- can embed some programs in the HTML page, but To now, we have found very few web pages that embed Java Applet programs, but Flash is everywhere. If Java integrates Flash function, Java will become the language of the true network, not like now, Squeezed to the application server.
