How can I create revolutionary software? Is there a good idea to make this
It is more important to transform into a product? Will we conduct a pre-study, or should we continue to improve existing products until the requirements? Should we become a giant, or stand on the shoulders of the giant? The answer is often both, and most of the software fuses the invention, inspiration, and continuous improvement. Regardless of the integration, only a good idea cannot be successful. You must also build a product and service that can convert these ideas into use, great value and extensive utility. You must also be able to face the future of adventure, you can have an endurance of some kind of technology and a strategy for several years. It is easy to spend time in the current market and competitors, but it is not prepared for things that will encounter in the future. This is why I arrange a few "considering week" in the year, I interpreted in this time and analyzed the future development trend. It is not easy to make a conjecture in the future. In 1975, people believe that the personal computer industry should purchase software from the business of the computer at the time of the entire computer industry. Almost no one finds this is a completely different "software industry". Paul and I don't look like this. We believe that computing power will be more cheap, computer from different manufacturers will flood every corner, and the software should benefit from this trend. So we decided to write and provide software for your personal computer, but do not involve hardware manufacturing and sales. Our first product is Microsoft Basic. At that time, the Basic language has been applied to large computers, but we know that it is also ideal for personal computers. Because it is very simple and easy to learn, and can create complex programs to make computer complete useful work. Once we have created a Basic version that can be applied to early computer memory, we start to expand it - add new commands to play the advantages of more powerful machines. Today, Visual Basic is the most widely used programming language in the world. The software that uses it written is exciting. In the past years, Basic is critical to our success. We have also made us different licensing methods for future PC development. We are not selling our software with a high price to a hardware developer, but is provided with a very low price. We gamble is quantity. At that time, the vast majority of other companies took a high price because they believed only to sell very little copies. In addition, when we develop MS-DOS PC operating systems, we work closely with all PC users to ensure that the various features they need can enter our system quickly as quickly as possible. We don't want to miss any consumers. Developers' support for MS-DOS is the key to the mainstream of the PC. Starting, young PC companies, such as Kangbia, know that the PC is compatible with each other and makes users similar and identical experience. Since MS-DOS helps compensate for the difference between computers, soon become the most popular operating system on your computer. Software developers developing applications running on MS-DOS understand their products will run on millions of computers. So starting a benign loop: more and more applications for personal computers, more and more users buy PCs, and then more and more developers want to write applications for PC. This makes the PC have achieved huge success. As the power of the PC increases to graphics processing, we found the opportunity for computing technology to continue to develop: Graphical User Interface (GUI). GUI began to appear in the mid-1970s, and some companies began to build GUI-based computers. We believe that our experience in establishing platform and development is greatly beneficial to promote GUI. So, we pressed the company's bet on Windows. Initially, people think we were crazy. Why do you want to turn to Windows when others use MS-DOS? Through our hard work of improved Windows, we are very happy to see everything that MS-DOS has happened on Windows. Windows makes the PC use more convenient to make more people use it.
