The main purpose of this article is to reveal, against Microsoft's monopoly and hegemony. The reason why I want to write such an article is because Microsoft has recently strengthened the activities in China to maintain monopoly, and the domestic media will basically take the microsoft, lack their own analysis and judgment, misleading public opinion, not good for our industrial development. A strong sense of responsibility drives the author to squeeze out the rest time and write this article. Since the author's time and level restrictions, there is no in-depth discussion on some views.
(1) The disadvantage of Microsoft monopoly no matter what monopoly is definitely conducive to monopoly. <1>. Monopoly brings a profitery to Microsoft, allowing consumers to spend more money; <2> to limit the freedom of ordinary consumer choice; <3>. Stress other companies to develop and inhibit innovation. There are also government worried information security and industrial autonomy, etc. ...
(2) Microsoft's maintenance of monopoly in China has begun under Microsoft's monopoly, and with the rise of Linux, Microsoft felt threatened with Linux. In order to keep the monopoly benefits, Microsoft has strengthened its activities in China. Here is some of the recent situations: <1> Bill. Gates APEC Tie Bill This line is a lot of fruit, and has signed the "Memorandum of Promoting Shanghai Software Industry Development Memorandum", and our Digital Elite. "They also get along with very much. Although it has no new intentions, there are a lot of incorrect mistakes, but it has been unanimously praised by its worshipers, and the public relationship is easy to score. Bill's most attention to the author's attention is: Announced the "Architect2000 Advanced Software R & D Heale Training Plan" project aimed at cultivating 2000 Chinese software divisions. If the program is successful, it will play a great help of Microsoft's maintenance monopoly. Because our government has decided to vigorously develop the Linux industry, now Linux technicians are far more than Windows technicians. People who have cultivated Microsoft Flowers must only focus on the Microsoft platform, and if the 2000 people returned to the company, they will control a team. Light said that it is difficult to break the monopoly and there is not enough person, and Microsoft certainly knows this. First attracting China's top talent through the Institute, and then control the majority of grassroots technicians, Microsoft's envelopes are gradually tightening. <2>. Deceived the official information of Microsoft, claims that "there is less than 100 million US dollars in China", is it true? Taking 2000 as an example, statistics show that China's PC sales is about 8 million units, including about 75% of the brand, which is about 6 million units, which should be pre-installed with a Windows system in Microsoft. PC collects 600 yuan calculation, about 2.4 billion yuan, only about 300 million US dollars only! Microsoft announced the number that may not include the sales of OEMs, but everyone knows the OEM's profit margin. So, Microsoft's official claims that "there is more than the recycling in China", so that many people who are unidentified will have inferior psychology, and they feel that there is a lot of Microsoft. Naturally, they will not bear to oppose monopoly. (If someone does not agree with the number I estimate, please ask your point of view and reason. But Microsoft's number is definitely wrong, because foreign brand PC has more than 1 million in China.)
(3) Hug Linux Microsoft's monopoly has caused extensive opposition around the world, but it has never found a good replacement of Windows. Now, many countries, companies, organizations, and individuals are pinned on Linux. <1>. Linux can take a challenge Microsoft monopoly's heavy linux has its own distinctive characteristics. First of all, Linux is not in any company control, such as IBM, which supports Linux, does not issue Linux, will not cause new monopoly; second, Linux has extremely powerful development power, can guarantee its sustainable development This power is distributed around the world. When there is developer to quit, there is no newcomer to join. These features make it basically completely embarrassed in the competition in Microsoft, because it is not a single company, free Microsoft can't eliminate the opponent through commercial means such as acquisition, price war, and additional application software developers can safely Develop software above without worrying about unfair competition from a monopoly company. Because of this, now except that most large IT companies outside Microsoft (including IBM, Intel, HP, SAP, Oracle, etc.) have expressed its strong support for Linux. Microsoft has developed to this extent that there is no single commercial company to challenge its monopoly. Only Linux's open system can bring together all anti-monopoly power, which is constantly developing with Microsoft's confrontation. Linux is a common wealth of the people of the world. With Linux, we have no need to develop its own independent PC operating system. <2>. The Benefits of Developing Linux Since our per capita income level is very low, Linux's cheap can create a computer-based opportunity for more people, which can reduce economic pressure for many funds that are not abundant, promote national informationization. It can reduce the overall cost of the computer, and computer companies can sell more computers and drive hardware industry development. For the software industry itself, it can promote the total amount of improvement: On the one hand, the increase in computer ownership provides more sales objects for software; on the other hand, if consumers spend less money on the operating system, they will Trownes more money to buy applications (we are not rich consumer have this consumption habit); then, software companies can be more independent, not to see a company's eye. <3>. Linux's application has leaving how long Linux has legendary stability and the efficiency of how to give full play to computer hardware performance, the architecture is flexible, and it has found its location in many applications. Linux is the fastest growing operating system in the current installed capacity. In foreign abroad, the server-side Linux is mainstream and extends to the high end. LINUX will soon grow into the highest market share of products in the field of embedded systems. In the desktop field, Linux has two sets of two sets of desktop systems KDE and GNOME, and their progress is very fast. Linux developers are solving desktop problems with a wild enthusiasm. Now they are mature, they can meet many Desktop app is applied. However, the desktop share of Linux in the United States is still very low, I think this is because Americans are too rich. But the Linux desktop in Latin America, South Korea, etc. It is worth learning, please see [Appendix: Other national experience]. In China, due to our poor, Linux should be greatly utilized. The server and embedded are not allowed, such as the desktop Linux should have great potential, such as the party and government organs, some enterprises, POS systems, ticket systems, public Service system, etc. It is also attractive to many individual consumers, such as consumers who learn as the main purpose.
However, the status quo cannot be satisfactory, we are not only available at desktops, but also do not meet foreign levels in the desktop. The one aspect is because the pirated hits are not enough, and the low-cost advantage of Linux is difficult to play; on the other hand, many ordinary users think that Linux is very difficult, I think this is not absolute. For example, I started learning DOS, when I started learning DOS, WINDOWS, also It feels hard to use, this is mainly the habitual problem, and Linux developers have begun to solve the problem of ease of use; then, the lack of technicians also affect Linux popularity; Finally, people's worship of Microsoft and Some misleading of ignorance reporters also have a negative role. Therefore, Linux has a long way to go in China. <4>. Microsoft is afraid Linux? Microsoft is very clear that Linux is going to popular, and understand Linux is its biggest threat. However, it will never show up in verbal, and it is impossible to fight against Linux and destroyed, expect to affect consumers and opponents. Our anti-monopoly should recognize that the struggle with Microsoft is not only a technical war, not only the mental war. The psychological war for Microsoft and its monopoly support is beneficial to Linux is more adopted. (4) Refutation of some views of support Microsoft monopoly in China against Microsoft monopoly, there will be many people who have jumped out and defend, maintain Microsoft's "tall image" in their hearts. They will always intend to introduce other misunderstandings in the debate. <1>. The misunderstanding of "nationalism" against Microsoft monopoly, often being deducted "nationalism" hat. This is very ignorant. In the United States, the waves opposed to Microsoft monopoly are higher than China. Is this a US nationalism? In Europe, Microsoft faces a severe anti-monopoly investigation, is this nationalism in Europe? Therefore, in China against Microsoft monopoly, it is part of the world opposes Microsoft hegemony, and there is no direct relationship with "nationalism". If you know that some of our "national software" also 躺 躺 窝 微 窝 窝 窝 窝 窝 窝 剩 剩 剩 剩 剩 剩 剩 剩 剩 菜 剩 剩 剩 剩 剩 菜 剩 菜 剩 剩 剩 剩 剩 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜 菜You can more agree that Microsoft monopoly is not "nationalism". <2>. "Learning Microsoft" Misunderstanding We admit that Microsoft has some good places, they have good technology, good management. But their technology we have a huge number of technicians in learning, their management is also difficult to clone to a Chinese company. Microsoft's most worthy of our learning should be their skilled commercial trick: for successful means, ruthlessly fight against the opponent ... understand this, you should agree that Microsoft monopoly is to learn Microsoft's essence. <3>. Our goal is to break the monopoly, not to "defeat" a company. Microsoft has been doing software boss to accept, of course, provided that when ordinary consumers don't like Microsoft products, there is something else. We do not deny that Microsoft's products have contributed to my country's information, but it also realizes that Microsoft maintains monopoly to our business interests is not conducive to our industrial development. For the so-called "Microsoft Help China Development Software Industry" to see its hypocritical side, the purpose behind it is to maintain monopoly. <4>. "Support Pirated" misunderstanding against Microsoft monopoly is not to support piracy, in contrast, active combat piracy is beneficial to we get rid of monopoly.
<5>. "Monopoly promoted innovation, the misunderstanding of the consumer" This is often mentioned when Microsoft is defense for his own monopoly, but it is not a scrutiny: do not discuss whether Microsoft has major innovation, even Yes, then what evidence can prove that the innovation is caused by monopoly? If there is a competitor, in order to win a certain competition in the competition, it will be fully innovative. Competition promotes innovation is the eternal truth. Monopoly is conducive to consumers, and Microsoft's monopoly has made consumers spend a lot of money. Monopoly also makes Microsoft to sell some unstable systems to consumers. When the consumer system crashes, the data is destroyed From failure to compensate, the highly competitive field of competition in home appliances has long been replaced, and the free maintenance is free for several years. It can be said that only competition can truly protect the interests of consumers. (5) Action !!! In theory, the correctness against Microsoft monopoly, developing Linux, the next step will begin. The author can only put forward some suggestions here. The government has decided to support Linux, which is our advantage, but the pace is too slow in practical actions, can effectively practice some government, legislation stipulates that government agencies informatization preferred open source software, and meets the proprietary software. This should be part of the integrity construction of government agencies, because the overhead of a set of office systems in Microsoft is equivalent to the average annual income of the Chinese people, and government agencies should be responsible for taxpayers. Strengthen the combat piracy, but in the attack, the educate people use Linux (due to the low price of Linux, at least will bring honesty for users). Software companies should enhance their self-confidence and challenge. Media should have their own thinking, don't take the initiative to make Microsoft's spokesperson. The role of the education system is very important. Now the lack of Linux technology talents affects the development of our Linux industry, and the education system should vigorously cultivate more Linux technology talents. The skilled person should look at it. Windows is now in an absolute advantage, but as we join the WTO to strengthen the hit piracy, more and more units will use Linux because of the cost problem, and the Linux technicians will supply. Microsoft may not have a lot of recession within ten years, but the IT's hot has made Windows technicians to overcapied. Many technologies are beneficial to their careers, I hope more technicians pay attention to Linux. For our firm supporters, we should promote Linux's benefits, help others get rid of Microsoft's bondage, carry linux to the end!
[Appendix: Other national experience] <- Latin America -> According to IDC latest figures, Linux's low cost is very suitable for the Latin American market, estimated to 2003, and 33% of the computer will run Linux. Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and other countries, legislation requires government departments to prioritize open source software or free software unless there is no choice; encourage national use of local and open source product technology and other places to compete. Role, because there is a knowledgeer to make the country software industrial standing. Learning Linux is the only way to self-help in Latin American countries. Local government, schools, industrial groups have teamed up to develop local software markets and no longer dominated by Microsoft. When the Software Industry of Latin America after four or five years, after Linux as the standard platform, the global Linux developers will increase, and the prospects are bright. ------ Although Latin is not affluent, the average income is also more than 5 times, and the Galle government is very powerful. The leader of the Gnome desktop project is a Mexican, and there are many in the project group. <- Korea -> Korean Linux has developed very rapidly and is known as the "Second Han River Miracle". In 2000, Linux increased by 2000%, reaching $ 100 million market size, and its largest Linux company sales have been equivalent to our largest software companies. In the first half of 2001, it also recorded high-speed growth, the media described its development with "fierce". South Korea's own experience is: The Korean government has given great support, such as government investment Linux companies; governments against the use of pirated software; the efforts of Korean companies themselves; IBM, Intel and other IT giants participation and support In short time, investment boom; good social paradox. South Korea Ministry of Information Industry strives to have competitiveness in Korea's world-based stage, such as Hancom Offic has been fully entered into the international market. ---- The author believes that South Korea's nationalism has also played a lot, such as Microsoft is ready to donate millions of dollars software to the Korean education system, but because of the strong opposition from the Korean people. Microsoft also donated software to the education system in China, but did not hear any opposition. <- Europe -> European countries generally have strong independent awareness, Microsoft is a serious anti-monopoly survey in Europe. Europe is the birthplace of WWW, Linux, but in the software industry, Europe is lagging behind the United States, but in the U.S., Europe's desktop applications. In Europe, many governments have legislated encouraging the use of free software. Germany's situation is worthy of our concern, because Germany is the largest country in Europe, and the Germans have talent in technology. "I believe that the development of open source will ultimately determine the basic model of Europe in the information age", the above-mentioned sayings are the Siegmar Mosdorf of the Minister of the German Federal Economics and the Ministry of Science and Technology. Germany has a famous Linux publisher SUSE, the KDE desktop is mainly developed by German, and the software giant SAP has announced that some software will first develop under Linux, and then migrate to other platforms, and prefer J2EE architecture. ------ The official power of Europe plus the private power, Microsoft is not good in Europe, I hope that the EU will not let go of Microsoft. <- India -> "In all the third world countries, perhaps the deepest thing to Microsoft hostile is India. Bill Gates has been completely ugly by the local media. Just a few months of traveling in India Despite the extensive and friendly efforts to this country, they are still gray face for the elites of the local political circles and the business community. ... in India, like other third world countries, the construction of the local area network is far behind In the United States or Europe. Therefore, compared with the US users, Indian users are more interesting on the desktop system, not to expensive handheld mobile devices.
To make a chapter, it is more favored by users who pay attention to home users to users of Delhi (India). "------ Indian software industry is mainly serving, so its software talents work under non-Microsoft platforms. India is poor than us, but with developed software industry, with the rapid development of Indian informationization India will become one of the main bases of Linux. Microsoft's impact in India will be getting smaller. [China? Compared to some of the countries mentioned above, our Linux is very technically in technology. If : Our people have despised the Korean learning point of nationalism, and our media despise to India, our law monopoly investigations to the European school, our government is a thunderstorm, and the author doesn't have to worry here. But The status quo, and some ignorant reporters are still encouraged people "follow Microsoft", and they follow Microsoft, which may eventually make China become a fortress that Microsoft maintains its global monopoly !!! I hope this is the author.
