Bear the burden, Microsoft's future depends on Win9

Computer store news: Every family has this difficult experience, the technology giant Microsoft Corporation with a global operating system market share of 91.52% is no exception. Behind this glamorous number, it is actually a crisis. Outside, there are a number of giants such as Apple and Google, which are using the mobile devices to move into the traditional desktop market; they are facing the critical moment of upgrading their own systems. Can Win9, which has already taken on the burden, defend the traditional advantages of Microsoft? What is the significance of Microsoft's future? Let's look at it together. (Note: Here and below, we will use Win9 to refer to the next generation of Windows operating system)

First, the changes in the surrounding environment and Microsoft's own reflection

The development of touch tide has so far appeared to have entered a bottleneck of innovation. The hardware configuration is no longer a limiting factor, and the operating experience brought by different platforms and different devices is gradually becoming the same. The touch device did not completely replace the familiar keyboard and mouse as previously thought. Traditional desktop computers still have value in their existence.

Second, yes, Win8 is very advanced, but it is too advanced

Entering the 21st century, the situation is changing, and a touch of tide is swept up by mobile devices, swiftly sweeping each field. Microsoft has also followed its trend to launch its own new Win8 operating system. The integration of the main touch operation and the traditional desktop has indeed brought about a more brisk use experience for the optimization and improvement of the core part of the system. The problem of slow booting and other problems that have plagued users for many years has been well solved on Windows 8. We admit its progress, but it is too advanced, too much emphasis on the touch experience and directly cut off the traditional menus such as the start menu, Aero interface, etc., which are well-known, and the two can be perfectly co-existing. Urgent?

Third, regardless of success or failure, Microsoft's future depends on Win9

The entire ecosystem is built around the center of Microsoft's new Windows, and it is all glory. Windows 9 is destined to be the traditional successor and future pioneer, the classic start menu and the traditional desktop operating environment will return, a series of network-based cloud services will be further strengthened. Win9 is also very likely to be the first new operating system in Microsoft history that can be upgraded for free (Win8.1 is only a certain level of update, we can not identify it as a new system), because its strategic core is no longer the case. Microsoft's future, and look at Win9.

Four, old and hard Win7, become the biggest enemy Microsoft faces

The first condition of all victory is to defeat yourself. After Microsoft announced the termination of WinXP service support, Windows 7 is taking over XP as the biggest obstacle to Microsoft's own transformation and progress. Statistics as of July show that Win7 still crushes two successors Win8 and Win8.1 with a market share of up to 51.22%. Although not as advanced and brisk as the two successors, mature and stable is its greatest advantage. It firmly defends the classics left by the predecessors since Windows 95. The traditional desktop environment and the classic start menu are still very attractive to users. The latecomers are destined to stand on the shoulders of their predecessors in order to succeed. The Win9, which will be succeeded, must also understand this.

Microsoft's reflection on its own strategy in recent years has made it clear that it is truly valuable and able to control the future: it is no longer the price of the operating system, but its service and ecology. Focusing on user needs, based on the traditional advantages of its traditional Windows desktop operating system, WP mobile phones, Surface tablets, Xbox game consoles and other hardware devices and Office 365, SkyDrive, Windows Arzure and other software services create an ecosystem. This ecosystem is the most stable and reliable. Leaving this ecosystem, no part of it can survive independently; without any link, the entire ecosystem will break.

V. Has been patched up but has been changed well. Win8.1

It is unfavorable for Win8 to be highly anticipated, and it has also caused Microsoft to think about its own strategy. After a lapse of one year, Win8 replaced the new Metro interface with the start button Win8.1 re-debut, and then successively updated through Update1, August update, etc., Windows 8.1 in the seam repair, small step faster running Although it is impossible to unify the country, it has repeatedly built military exploits.
