Bill Gates Speech and Q & A: I am very excited this morning to talk about software's future, the software will change the world in the next 20th year, which will change the world than anything else, actually It will greatly change the world, and all of us will be very exciting experience. The software connects the world to connect people to connect the ideas. Moreover, create higher efficiency, give us more power, which is what we have in our ideas will contribute more in this regard, we make this world more smaller. Microsoft is very lucky to participate in the revolution of the software, this is the case from the beginning. When I was in high school, I saw an article for the microprocessor with my friends. At that time, the chip function was very limited. My friend told me that this chip will have further improvements, and he also mentioned every two years. We realize this is important, we also hope to participate, we are also very strange why others have not seen this? Still thinking about the computer is very large, organizing some tools, not specially used tools, not to give people strength, creative tools, not helping people to communicate, when people think this. In the past three decades of personal computers, Microsoft has already gone through thirty years, and we have gone through long history. We now have 60 billion computers in the world, and all are networked. It is also communicating in this information. We also have some software tools, people are using these tools, but we are just starting, we have many aspects. In terms of starting, including our power, including our work, we see our work, we all do this. People often underestimate the ability of software to change the world. In the 1980s, people realized that hardware was constantly improving, Moore's law made us ability to introduce graphical user interface. In the 1990s, people realized that connectivity was improved, then in the late 1990s, we saw There are a lot of newly launched companies, and forecast how the Internet changes the world, some predictions are quite optimistic. Of course, some ideas present at the time were basically shattered. Of course, business efficiency will be further improved, and it is possible to find better work, not the case. The progress made in this decade will continue to react with hardware and connectivity development, software is not something you can see, so many people are in the importance of low-estate software, they don't see the foundation we laid in this regard. For example, it is necessary to connect the foundation of the computer, and how we solve some complex problems, how to make the machine interaction, such as language identification, voice recognition, video identification, etc., this is also very good in information technology. field of.
We are very happy to see such a large change in China, especially to see China attach great importance to education, and many areas are educated, especially in computer technology. China can do many work in using software to achieve economic modernization. China can also contribute to the world, further improve software quality, which is why Microsoft's firm commitment to China's company, university, government establish partners, and achieve these developments as fast as possible. So, after I came to China last time, we see the progress made than we expect much more. Then, the progress of hardware has also made us get some breakthroughs just mentioned. For example, we have 64-bit calculations, which makes us calculate very simple. Moreover, we also see that the storage is now more smooth, from eight to sixty-four, and also seeing compatibility of the computer, from the twentieth technology to twenty-four technology, it is very complicated, to 32 Bit technology, Inner Company has a lot of storage programs, where we still use the 32-bit system, and now there is a sixty-four-bit system. Moreover, in this regard, our instruction level is still the same as the same instruction level. Therefore, there will be no restrictions in memory. Even the speed of the network, now I have seen some new progress, people sometimes think that the network established in the video data is separated from each other, sometimes the video is mainly implemented by the broadcast system, especially Wired networks are implemented, but in fact, future TV may appear more Internet content, and is an end-to-end connection. Therefore, people can see what they want to see on TV, and you can see the high-definition things, come on the time they want to see, and advertising will more in line with their hobbies, making advertising More targeted. Now, the speed of the network can have reached a few meters, and its speed will further increase, and the development of the Internet also shows us what we can do with these extra bandwidth, we can see that the storage is like this. You can see music, movies, photos, you can use a very low cost, walk away, you can see the songs you like, this is very interesting. Microsoft also has its partner, a person hung a small camera on his neck, taking a selfie day, if a new thing can take pictures, and the photo is immediately classified. We can record your history, and share your experiences, share your experience, and others, then you can automatically browse these things, I think this is also an application, I think this is also hardware progress. Make our software possible. When we talked to music photos, we were completely used in digital models. Soon, I brought my daughter to a long, she asked me what the record is? Of course she didn't see a record, because like CD, DVD may be very popular today. However, if the high-speed wireless network is developed, will these media still be as important as today? Including the camera in the form of high definitions into the form of mobile phone, making people exchange photos with each other and family members, now everyone may have learned. There are also some digital personal authentication systems that make us more efficient. There is also a supply chain. Everyone should find out what to buy, what is used, where these resources are. Now, it has become very practical because they have numbers' labels. In this regard, the software products are launching, and the software industry has thousands of companies, Microsoft is also proud of this, and there is no so-called software industry at the time when we started, did not use the software as a creation value. Industry, they think hardware is a factor.
Software design, including application and operating systems, are not attached to sufficient attention, and now software is very important, its investment is also very high, its progress is very large. Our partners have achieved success, and partners include global cooperative companies to spread our experience and knowledge. In order to give partners better platforms, our R & D work has doubled, and we spent $ 6.8 billion in research and development, and it can be said that a large part is to enter our China R & D department, because China has achieved huge success, we At the Institute, partnerships have been established in China to promote these forward development. Now, everyone is very clear, and now the computer does not reach the standard, not too reliable, it can be more reliable. Moreover, its ability is not strong, and does not reach the security level. Some people say that this kind of thing is getting more complicated, bring us to the wrong direction, we never do so security, this is some problems, for example, the program is established, this is a few decades of science The problem discussed. But we now see that as possible, more reliable, we are considering their reliability, which helps us reduce the safety code, we ensure that these code is safe. To solve these problems, we have a research in the world, we are doing them into products, these issues can be solved. In terms of security, a key technology is our so-called isolation problem. When you link with your global computer, people make full use of this connectivity, you can very clearly understand which computer can communicate with other computers, and can identify correct Who sent this information, this is part of a normal structure. The Internet is very good for a matter, and if there is a problem in a place, it can operate elsewhere. However, in the basic design, for example, in this regard, this is also considered. For example, the procedure for Internet mail is not, so this message is sent to others, deceives others, people think this is the confidential letter of the bank. Or you should buy this product. So, this is a limitations in the Internet standard. We must solve this problem. We must ensure that we know where this letter is coming, we can make this browse to determine it, do a priority regulations. We must update software, once there is a communication, we must improve, you must modify it, you must follow the network speed, make everyone can do better updates. We need these validated technologies that require high-level software more secure, we need to determine who is using this network.
One of the specific questions, now the so-called spam, there are thousands of spam every day in our inbox, some emails are very interesting, some people send me a university degree, I don't have this degree. I just click, look, I will have more spam, how to solve the problem of spam? You can take a look at the content to filter, select this method, this method is already in use, and has achieved certain success. However, we need to further say that it is necessary to verify that this person who sent you an email, is it necessary to cause your attention, because it is a conflict resource. With the real way to ensure that people send people to people who want to send you a letter, this seal is acceptable. However, some people come to believe that you also want to receive, so there are some techniques to prove that you are worth watching this letter, there is a very good idea, that is, let the computer make full work, for those strangers Easy to make them do this. However, we do this make the cost of spam will be higher, we have some new technologies, will put it in email. We promote this matter. If you do this, we can solve spam problems, at least be so serious now. When we connect these computers, people think that they can realize the sale in the world, find the best products, find the best consultants. However, very unfortunately the description of the high-level, it does not exist this rich connection description. These high-level agreements are more than the Internet protocol. They are now being developed, and now use such services, we will see them in the next year, all computers are connected together, no matter what operating system, what Voice development software can conduct very rich communication security issues, reliability, and workflow, two organizations can cooperate with each other, can use safe digital way, this is a major breakthrough. What will this bring to the world economy? Everyone is in business, business partners are beneficial. Most people don't realize that they do better, get more information, how to do this. For example, customer information, their ideas, and what happened in the market, their colleagues come to you, then designed a new model, or give this information to your employees, let them have creation Force, efficient, this is the work of software, our work has just begun, in order to do this, we must take out a very new method, visualization practice, such as graphical visualization practice, put it in the software, At this time, the company's work should be used, and a complete number of methods can be used, and the work efficiency will be lowered due to lack of information. Very good example, such as a meeting, some will not deeply dig information, watch a sales number, this figure is relatively small, everyone must see where the problem is? What is not enough sales, what is the situation in what areas, it is difficult to do this now. However, we are more than just about this case, talking about a screen, such as imagining a tablet, a paper, information is an activity, you can click to get the situation, do an annotation, we can see, we can use more Many ways to work, much more than the new way.
There are some software that can be available, and our staff is used globally, the cost is also very low. There is also a very important communication between these instruments. In many cases of key issues, no matter whether it is meeting, or doctors to the hospital. We use ink to identify this ink. This note is very important, voice recognition is also very important. . For example, we meet, we can make a record record, and should become an ordinary thing, and it has become a problem when translating. We are now making progress in this area, hoping to have a fixed area and automated way. To translate. We heard many people to write information on mobile phones, this is a very good tool, but if the ability to identify voice recognition is better. For example, we want to have this mobile phone in the future. To buy a product, there is a software on the phone, there is a camera, take photos, the software can identify, what is fair price, what is the best price, you can tell you this Product Customer's comment, competitors' products, make you more effective, you can more than three. What you need to do, how much software can help you do these things, help you experience more wonderful work. In terms of communication, we have too much things, and the E-mail address is too much, including the instant chat, the software should help us, very important, when meeting, there may be some calls less important, should not When you are inconvenient, I will now see the phone or open, or turn it off, so I have to add a software to help solve this problem. We can see the world of paper and paper, there is a smart pen, which can help us track this notes to track the situation of the study, to coordinate the work of the staff, this is a very important thing. Now let us write less software, now the company wants to write a million code, but we have a good technology, using mathematics, we can make this matter very simple. Therefore, it is necessary to build a platform. This platform should be fast and should be reliable. This platform is constantly improving the speed as a low-cost computer, such as using Windows and Intel's hardware, this should be a milestone event, we also use new technologies, such as automatic recovery, we see some monitoring technology, See if there is a problem, or why is it very frustrating? For example, our Office system helps on the server, you can interact with it, there is communication, if you have a confused place, you can improve it immediately, do it better. There is also a service problem, which makes things together, so that we can manage the system in an automated manner, connect the application together, this is a very good cooperation, because of very intense competition, including IBM and Microsoft is also very competitive, and we are also working to establish these standards.
Through these new methods, we can consider these complex problems, then solve it, that is, this is to consider what services you want, what services provide, let's make sure what hardware you use, can replace you To solve this matter, the cost of calculation can continue to fall. As a manager, selling this software, large quantity selling computer, can make our computational solutions are getting cheaper, so that we will make us more powerful, software tools need to develop forward, so we can build some modes, come Test, can be more accurate, and verification can also be performed. We are not abandoning the old things, and the old system will slowly fall, this is the past. However, we will not have a discontinuous situation, or this standard is broken, we put the external service on the system above, let the system, pocket equipment and PCs, we should not use Handmade. If you have a lot of PCs, all information is above, it should be a rich, automatic way to put it. If you go home, you can communicate with your TV screen and the Internet by a relaxed voice. This is a good experiment, that is, people can do games, can be together with broadband, talk with your friends. We do the next generation of products, which will put this function in so that we also release this product in China, which makes the experience better. We also consider the border problems, the boundaries of communication and entertainment, to break this boundary. In front of you also heard Mr. Zhang Yin, we must make these devices, the better, put it in the pocket, we also invest a lot of money in this area, I think this opportunity is also very big. I saw that our partners showed us some of them using our software, we can take a look at a video image of a particular location, a specific location, Beijing traffic conditions, I think this is very People are amazing, we can make these devices more useful, which also has a good example of our innovation work, but China's market is more than just the biggest, but also from many aspects, it is also the most innovative market. We are also conducting more and more research and development, we work here with our partners, we are full of our future work. Therefore, the software is a miracle, we have been holding a software dream in the past two or 30 years, I think you have a chance to achieve these dreams, this is the software's golden age. Let's think about it brings us, including improving education, improving our product design, making us better contacting people around the world, making us working together to form a synergy. Here we can say that we don't have any lines, maybe the software may be the most exciting industry, no other industries can compare with us, we hope that you can turn it into reality. Thank you!
Q & A stage
Moderator: Thank you very brilliant speech. I think the students here are very excited to come to China. They have a lot of questions. Maybe we need to find some people to organize these questions, we also received thousands of emails I also pick some questions. I divide these questions into different categories, first asked some individual problems. The first question, did you still write a code? So, how much time you spend a week to write code? When did you write a code last time?
Bill Gates: I still like to write code, in the early days of Microsoft, I actually have to consider the code written by all people, I think it is very interesting because I know all of the instructions. Of course, we have passed this stage. Most of my code I wrote will make me learn a lot, we have written some software to understand how difficult it is. I really want to reduce everyone's instructions, sometimes it is very difficult, I said that I may have to do this on the weekend, but I think they no longer believe me, because I have already hadn't done it for a long time. Moderator: Second question, Mr. Billgate I know that Microsoft people work very hard, I want to know how long you have every day?
Bill Gates: I want to work hard. This is a good thing. In fact, people love their work, they are full of enthusiasm and commitment to work, they also believe in such a concept, we can create, this is our Advantage, I think we should work in a sustainable manner, we hope that their career is very long, working in a peaceful way. So, sometimes we tell employees, you may now work too much. As far as I personally, I actually work almost sixty hours a week, there are many things that I don't need me. In fact, I have to worry about it, this is already very early. I have some hobbies with my family. I actually I will take the two weeks of leave every year. I can sleep at this time. I do some reading, maybe I can see the software, I can also keep up now in the form of rapid changes. , I love my work, so I also like a long time.
Moderator: About Microsoft products you mentioned next-generation window operating system, when can we see this introduction?
Bill Gates: We are working hard, I am very excited about this product is about to be launched, using the communication interface to store information in a rich and convenient form, we now use different directive lines, such as photos, letters, files, such as photos, letters, files If we make the file system as much as possible, our system can unify different instructions. Everyone has a greater power, use some simple instructions to complete these work, I think this will be a very ambitious launch. Plan, I still don't know the specific date, we have made great progress, I hope we will take out some early versions, give it to the developer, get some feedback, want to complete this work. It is also possible that we will see this launch in the next few years, we have done as fast as possible.
Moderator: The next question is about open source code, I want to know the pros and cons of the opening source code. I am a college student, I learned that the new CE system opens 70% source code, can you tell us more information.
Bill Gates: Yes, Microsoft believes that in many cases, the release source code is a good thing, but the open source also has a lot of questions. In many ways, sometimes we let everyone participate in it is a good thing. Of course, there are also commercial development. We can create employment, we can open new companies, actually this is also a benign circulation, the government takes some money To subsidize universities, then universities conduct a good research work. Then, the company also benefits, creates employment, and then pays taxes, so the entire ecosystem is very good. Therefore, I want to have a balance in business software and free software. Some commercial software can work well, including compatibility, coordinating different computer compatibility, and I want to have these two in the market. Software, we are also willing to open source code, this is a good practice, business events, including open source, can do better in this regard. If I am still a student, I will spend more time to learn some other things, I understand the window system. So, I can say that these two operating systems may have the largest user group in the future. Moderator: I am also a student, I seek a master's degree in software, I want to know how to make a programmer is a good career, can you make money?
Bill Gates: It is best not to open the programmer of open source, this may be a trap, sometimes it is inverting. When I am doing an open source, I can't do this, I can't do this, I clearly indicate the technology open in software, this work is full of challenges and difficulties, of course this work is also very important, I think it is the best People participate in the industry because this will change our world. Of course, for example, a lawyer is a good career, but I think they can't change the world. I think that in addition to software, another work that changes the world is biology, I think there is some interaction between the two, I think these two areas are our work, and software potential is huge.
Moderator: There is also a developer problem, I have been developing a staff member in the local software development company, we always pay attention to Indian developers, because the two countries have similar points, the market is very large, the human resources are rich, and the potential is also huge. But I know that India is doing very well in this area. Why is this?
Bill Gates: A lot of incredible things happened in China, so China is always watching there is any other country than us, we can learn again. For example, the United States has done in intellectual property, India's work, that is, in five years, ten years, China has to invest, becoming a world-class role. I also saw the Minister of Education, he is also asking me, all of us do now is right, I think the strategy is now in place, of course, the skill of English is very important. There is also the quality of software training is also very important. Now Microsoft has cooperated with universities, hoping to help their courses have been further improved. India has its advantages, it has traditions of English, and India also has its own technical college. Of course, you can learn something from India, you can also learn something from the United States. However, don't forget that China has played an important role in many fields. In fact, China has played the role of the engine in other fields. You are also developing software resources, and you are using your software expertise and experience. I think we are also committed to helping China realize their dreams.
Moderator: Thank you for your encouragement, there is another question is to ask Mr. Zhang Yinqin. You recently upgraded Mr. Zhang Yaqin, Dean of the Microsoft Asian Institute, to the Global Vice President, let him be responsible for the business of mobile communication, you enhance him Is it because he knows more about the Asian Communications Market or other reasons? Bill Gates: I think we have enhanced Yarun to the headquarters position. He is also very excited. He is also very popular in the field. It is also a growing area. I think you will become more and more people who have many employees from China will be slow. Slowly to our headquarters, become a member of our senior management, Microsoft is a global company, our employee comes from all over the world, China's image, AUQ is also made for our company. Contribution, this is also the promotion of the position, and we are full of work for his future work.
Moderator: Doesn't it mean Zhang Yaqin to understand the mobile market, Microsoft should pay special attention to China Mobile Market?
Bill Gates: Yes, we will grow our share in mobile, especially in China, we will have some development work in the United States, and there will be some development work here, and Yaqin conducts some coordination work. The local market is very huge. YUQ understands the market, we can see that he understands the surrounding market, can help us, from the world, it is this situation.
Moderator: I heard Microsoft talked about high-altitude calculations and safety calculations, what is the security issue in this environment?
Bill Gates: I want to think about it. As the industry and Microsoft, I have learned a lot of security issues. We use the Internet before you talk about all communications. To rely on this Internet, you said before this We really need to be more in terms of security, and some things are indeed destroyed the potential to use the Internet. First, these security issues must be solved, including the display of the company, they do the update program, even if there is malicious words, it is difficult to attack their network, so we say that high-altitude calculates this word, including very wide Activities are the heavy priority of our focus, we launched a Windows version, and immediately put this version in a few months to solve this problem. I want to make progress in the present, I am very happy.
Moderator: So many spam is very annoyed, Microsoft has a good project, and now downloads to solve it.
Bill Gates: We do have good technology, this technology is to see your email is normal email or abnormal email, use a lot of information to collect this matter correctly, almost 80, ninety The message can be filtered, so I suggest that you use these tools, because we will improve the technology, email is identified, and if you implement this goal, you will last a step, that is, let's completely remove spam, we are here I have made a deep study, which can be said to solve this problem requires the best leading technology, the latest technology.
Moderator: What is the computer in your dreams?
Bill Gates: As my individual, I like a flat computer, such as a meeting, you can use the notes, you can write electronic ink, you can email, and you can see information. I think every student should have a tablet, which has a microphone and a record, and the voice recognition is connected together, and the wireless network is together. I sometimes use a tablet, go to this desktop, now there are 3 24-inch LCD screens, my email, browser simultaneously show, with new perspectives, new Windows management, and mail layout, although this Things are very expensive, but in the end, this screen technology should be used by everyone. When I got everywhere, I have different situations on my desk, and the software can automatically work well. Moderator: I have listened to a very good work space. I am a graduate student studying speech recognition. I listened to Mr. Li Kai's speech in Beijing a few years ago. Dr. Li said that this technology looks always ten years. In the future, people say that there will be speech recognition after ten years. How do you see this problem? Can we get a voice recognition?
Bill Gates: This progress is incredible, but you can say that all and people's ability, this problem, this is the problem of human brain, and the human brain can use this environment or deep reasoning way. Because we want to build a such thing, this is what we want to do. We compare the computer's identification and people's speech recognition. If there is no noise, there is no environment, just read these random things, in a W quiet situation, the current difference is not very big. However, if noise is added, because people will use the context judgment, we will see the gap. Therefore, technology can encounter noise, establish such a context, and we need to have a lot of progress in this area to catch up with the ability. The smallest place, the computer is doing well, for example, you can play a phone number, just use voice to identify. However, the problem of thrilling, for example, there are many vocabulary, I think this will be achieved after many years, I still have to tell the optimism. I think this matter can solve this problem, and we now model more well in the past, very clear progress, we have a product of voice servers, push it up before a few months, our customers are very satisfied.
Moderator: There is also a problem, it is to talk about the problem in Microsoft, Bill, I know that it is very difficult to find it in Microsoft, how do I learn, learn more, have the opportunity to work with you?
Bill Gates: We have a lot of work types, the key is software development, this is a major job. I want to write a lot of code, look at this code, understand its performance, really understand the situation of this machine, can tell this thing, why you are willing to do this architecture, don't do another architecture, these people can give us A big contribution. Sometimes you learn computer science, you can't understand how these brackets are combined, so you must understand the situation in the machine. If you have experience, we will cooperate with the university to ensure that not only is a first-class university, other universities. It should also be done, this is a very exciting thing, and we attach great importance to the advanced technology. This is our talent in this area, we have to do a lot of recruitment work in the future.
Moderator: Listen, this student is very hopeful, because of time limit, this is the last problem. Bill, I want to tell you that I register too late, I can't get tickets, very sad, when did you come to China? Bill Gates: I don't know when it is unclear, but I am coming every year, so I will come next year, I hope that next year will come again, I see that China has many attractive progress.
