Tianji Net August 24th news SUN officials said that the company has signed an agreement with Australian New South Wales City. According to this agreement, thousands of personal computers will use Sun's products to replace Microsoft's Windows desktop Machine system. After signing this agreement with New South Wales, the city's road and transportation will use Sun's Staroffice product suite to replace Microsoft's Office. In addition, according to this agreement, the municipal government department will also begin using the public source Linux operating system to replace Microsoft's Windows operating system, while these departments will also use Sun's Java-based email and calendar software. A female spokesperson, said that Sun has begun to transfer 1,500 computers in 120 government departments, which is expected to end in early October. Based on the agreement, a total of 3,000 users will be produced by Sun. Sun refused to reveal how many desktop users from the end this year gave up Microsoft's systems, and the SUN's system was used. However, Sun is revealed in a statement that the recently signed agreement is to build a patented Windows operating system to build transfer, safe and affordable information technology foundation, and have milestone decisions. . The city road and transportation said they hope to reduce the cost of 20% of total costs through this move, which is $ 1.5 million per year. However, some people published in SUN have questioned. Market Research Company IDC analysts Mark Levitt said that Sun did not prove that it is launching a violent attack on the monopoly of Microsoft desktops. Levit said: "What we have seen is that many governments are also actively supporting Microsoft's licenses. At the same time, these governments are supported by Linux and other software. However, it is difficult to distinguish between the wind." IDC It is estimated that by 2007, the number of Linux desktops in 2007 will increase from 3.4 million in 2002 to 10 million units. However, this number is not a lot, because the user estimated by the 2007 global personal computer can reach 1 billion people. Microsoft Research Direction Market Analyst Paul De Grute said: "These numbers are slightly negligible. These statements do not prove anything." De Grute said that over time, more and more people will be in Linux and Office. Between choice. He said: "It is not clear whether they will seize the market share of Windows." However, the agreement signed by Sun Company and the Australian government will definitely be a hundred people. Sun refuses to disclose how much this agreement is, but it is called some low-priced X86 and SPARC servers, as well as SUN's Firev20z, V440, and V240 products. In addition, the road and transportation will also purchase some of the infrastructure software products such as Sun's portal, directory, and identification management server. Sun has successfully won several agreements between the government. In less than 1 year, Sun has signed millions of US dollars with China and the British government departments.
