Win10 IoT Eco-Build

Computer Store News: In recent years, Microsoft's layout on Azure cloud services has achieved initial results. In the previous quarter's revenue, Microsoft's cloud service business has seen significant growth. Then the next stage is how Microsoft can better use its cloud services.

The introduction of the Internet of Things means big data collection at the PB level. At this time, Microsoft Azure cloud computing can better play its role. When big data is better processed, it is followed by the use of different fields. Microsoft's breakthrough in artificial intelligence this year is due to the support behind big data and cloud computing. After Windows unifies and begins to enter various scenarios, the resulting big data usage scenarios are far wider than they are today.

According to Satya Nadella's calculations, Microsoft's IoT ecosystem will become the front end of Windows 10 on different operating platforms. The data processing and storage of the cloud will be carried out through Windows Azuer, and finally feedback to different details. In the field. The starting point of Windows 10 is higher than that of any previous generation of operating systems, and because of the higher level, Microsoft needs to open up its forward-looking vision. Last week, Microsoft officially launched the first health wristband Microsoft Band, which not only attracted the attention of the global media, but also many American users came to the Microsoft Store to buy this device. I have to admit that the Microsoft Band's gimmicks are still enough, and the maximum amount of supply is available. We bought this product only at the Microsoft Store near New York in the first place, and then the major stores immediately sold out, even in In Seattle, where Microsoft is headquartered, we searched all Microsoft Stores and failed to find a Microsoft Band.

The release of the Microsoft Band is more evidence, Microsoft CEO Nadella said after the release of Windows10, Microsoft will have a breakthrough in the Internet of Things market. But based on recent news, the Microsoft Band is just an outpost, and Microsoft's bigger move in the IoT market remains on Windows 10.

All About Microsoft columnist Mary Jo Foley recently learned through her channel that in the more details of the Microsoft Band that Microsoft did not disclose, Microsoft Band actually uses ARM Cortex. M4 MCU processor. As for the operating system, Microsoft officially gave an ambiguous answer, saying that the device does not use the Microsoft operating system, using Microsoft's low-power firmware customized for wearable devices. At the same time, Microsoft will release the SDK for this device early next year.

Mary Jo also mentioned another question. Isn't Microsoft Band a separate device in Microsoft's "One Windows" strategy? The answer is even more vague, not clear, and may be. This kind of answer is somewhat hidden. Does the limited supply of Microsoft Band mean that the positioning of this device is Microsoft's test of the Internet of Things?

Microsoft CEO Satya regards Win10 as Microsoft. Windows is entering the first step in a new era and says Windows 10 will be everywhere in the future. In our view, this concept is Microsoft's further refinement of the Windows ecosystem. With the introduction of SKUs for different fields, Microsoft can use Windows 10 uniformly on various devices, and each SKU is optimized for different fields. In fact, this has integrated the past Microsoft embedded operating system.

At last week's European Tech Ed, Microsoft executives confirmed that Windows 10 now has a different customized version:

• Windows 10<Industry" : Facing some industrial and special application markets

• Windows 10 Mobile”: for mobile devices, Windows Phone 10, Windows tablet

• Windows 10<;Athens”/Windows Embedded Compact: Facing IOT devices, network management, printers, etc.

It can be seen that Microsoft has unified the current Windows operating system through Windows 10, and all of the devices of Alias ​​can be built. A complete IoT ecosystem, and Windows 10 is the hub. Microsoft's work on the operating system has been too fragmented over the years, and Microsoft needs to continue to integrate operating systems for different platforms. From this point of view, Windows 10 will naturally become an operating system that will not only appear on the PC, but it will also enter the tablet, mobile phone and even other platforms.
