There is no doubt that Windows is the most successful operating system ever, and it has conquered many people through its more and more convenient operation and more and more beautiful interface, so it has an impressive 90% market share. However, the shortcomings of Windows are not without, and more and more, such as the classic "blue screen" and many inexplicable restarts.
for existing Windows system problems, Microsoft is not ignorant, but also ordinary users as emotionally. Just because of the face, Microsoft has kept a low profile on the problems of its own products, quietly solving the problems encountered. For example, this time Windows Vista, Microsoft has played a "safety card" through different channels, and repeatedly proposed to choose security between compatibility and security, which indicates that Microsoft will put the system security and stability in the future. Sex is in the first place.
how do we interpret the future of Microsoft's "Security" card it?
a fragile Windows system
the world's most ironic thing was. " The contradiction in the plot, and we must also know the embarrassment of Windows "downtime" when Gates promotes his products. When his "obedient child" was disobedient, Microsoft was helpless, and Gates was embarrassed.
For users, Windows has a unique three "advantages": read "blue screen", "no reason" restart "without warning" of the crash. This is a more difficult result than the pricing of Microsoft products, and there has been no fundamental change in this performance for so many years, because as long as the user will encounter it, in addition to complaining, the user can only helpless. Many security and stability issues on
Microsoft and its products, it has become the most powerful opponents attack "stuff", because in the face of irrefutable fact that Microsoft only "not perfect "Respond, and this is Microsoft's most helpless pain. After all, it is uncomfortable to be "faced"! So Microsoft has been waiting for the opportunity to change this situation and become passive.
Windows Vista launch, is a best opportunity for Microsoft.
Second, the "security" First of all at the expense of who?
Honestly, Windows reason why stability and security is so poor, its compatibility "too good" not unrelated, because, Even installing an application can end all processes to restart the system "without user action," so Microsoft began to deliberately change the status quo when pushing the Vista beta, and used this to change the "inversion" that often occurs between systems and applications. Passive situation.
Whether or future, various "network software" will be more and more now, and these must rely on a variety of security problems in the application to run the operating system will bring the system Stability and security pose a threat, so we have every reason to believe that Microsoft will impose restrictions on some less secure applications and even refuse to install. Personally feel that Microsoft may use the current digital signature for the driver to the application to enhance the security of the system. Or create a "blacklist mechanism" that records spurious or backdoor programs that contain major security vulnerabilities. Once the user uses them, they will give functional restrictions or even refuse to install.
We don't know what Microsoft will do for system security, but one thing is certain, Microsoft will make its operating system "tough" to change the "weak" of low security and poor stability. Image. From the current status quo, it is not difficult to see that the biggest impact of Microsoft's security improvement will be IM software, such as QQ, UC; followed by various sharing software, because the sharing software is very likely to contain spyware or contain viruses; A variety of application software and web browsing software, the former may contain a variety of
technology
vulnerabilities, the latter may automatically download a variety of "rogue plug-ins."
Maybe everyone has this doubt: If Windows becomes more and more stable, then will we be able to use less and less software?
Third, under "Security" Microsoft conspiracy
chanted their products in the future should "security" in the first place also has its selfish, it means to spread their stuff little by little, to suppress products other than Microsoft. From the perspective of its opponents, Microsoft's "security strategy" may be a conspiracy to consolidate its monopoly position.
Business is war, is a strong opponent of their own territory to give up, so Microsoft can not retreat. However, now Microsoft can't blatantly crack the technology's products on competitors' products, so it can only use the roundabout way to slowly limit the opponent's moves. For example, the compatibility of this IE7 beta with other IM software seems to be a "strategic test" by Microsoft for the market and its competitors.
sense, and now the software industry competition is unfair, because regardless of operating system or application software are several software giant a monopoly. Even in the future, competition is currently the competition between these software giants. So Microsoft is doing this to raise the threshold for latecomers, leaving the current competitors with less and less choice.
Microsoft put it "safe sex" to mention the higher of the opponent's crackdown will be.
If Windows is no longer a soft dough children, the next will be to squeeze a Microsoft who?
