Whether
it is love or hate, Microsoft almost every IT people have tremendous impact.
2011
has ended, the following years we believe that Microsoft made a wise move in
2011, and folly:
Five wise move:
(1) Actively improve Windows 8
If Microsoft wants Windows still like to become a consumer product, Microsoft needs to break both the advantages and the disadvantages of a style: old Windows software backward compatibility. Users on Windows 7 computer, developed for Windows 3.1 running 16-bit Windows applications, it is very magical, but support for older Windows applications users demand, but also stifle the ability of Windows reinventing itself.
System in Windows 8, Windows 7 applications on Intel-based computers can still compatible, but Windows 8 will be for the new Metro-style UI, design new applications. Microsoft also promised, Windows 8 will no longer be particularly expensive applications, most of them will be smart phone applications with the same price, rather than the traditional large price client software, Microsoft has taken this initiative in order for users to abandon the use of old-fashioned the software.
Let the next generation of Microsoft's Tablet PC operating system for products, and extends to computer products, rather than Apple's model - the smart phone operating system used in Tablet PC into, for Microsoft, this is an interesting choice. Into the cloud computing as part of the ongoing sharp correction in the client software, Microsoft is willing to make Windows change, this is a wise move.
(2) against botnets
Microsoft in 2011, by combating botnets, to continue its mission of fighting spam. Microsoft asked the U.S. courts by way of Internet domain names off to combat Kelihos and Rustock botnet, which is like Microsoft in 2010 to fight for the same Waledac botnet.
3 acquisition of Skype
Microsoft spent $ 8.5 billion acquisition of Internet language, and video communications provider Skype, a software industry this year, the largest acquisition. Since Microsoft already has Lync business, so the reasons for its acquisition of Skype is still a slight hint of mystery, but Skype can now provide a basis for Microsoft's user base is quite broad, these users keen on their work computers, game consoles and smart phones , use instant messaging, chat and video conferencing services.
Organized for the acquisition of Skype in the news conference, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer (Steve Ballmer) commitment, Skype will continue in a variety of devices, Windows and other products, to support its services. Microsoft's acquisition of Skype when the transaction being completed, Skype team hope to prove this, Skype users complain that a positive solution (in the majority of Android products, lack of support for video telephony).
Skype in the summer for Motorola and Samsung Galaxy Tab Android products such as a large number of Android devices, adds video support. Skype may be able to tell Microsoft, a platform-independent software company, its benefits many reasons. At the same time, Microsoft through the acquisition of Skype, received 50 communications patents, which may also help Microsoft or Linux from the Android smart phones to get royalties.
4 to take the right measures for Kinect
Although from a technical point of view, Microsoft Kinect product is on the line in November 2010. But Microsoft in 2011 for the number of correct Kinect taken initiatives, including for non-commercial use, release a SDK, to support the crack Kineck, Microsoft also supports 10-bit Kinect entrepreneurs. For the younger generation of gamers and technology users, Kinect make Microsoft cool again together.
5 Support for HTML5
Microsoft has finally recognized in 2011 for network applications industry, "Here to create" (built it here) attitude is not for everyone in terms of a suitable choice, especially for developers,. Microsoft is just quietly support HTML5, the BUILD conference, Microsoft demonstrated Windows 8 and through the Internet Explorer 10, began to carry out high-profile support for HTML5.
Despite the poor performance of Silverlight, but not completely destroyed. Microsoft will now Silverlight / .Net reposition the enterprise network development tools. Microsoft will be for even (Bing) has released the first HTML5 application, which will be applied to the search function, the introduction to the Android and iPhone products.
Five stupid move:
1 to collect royalties for Android
Mafia-use patent protection program, never established reputation in the market, which often lead to the federal government's oversight and heavy fines. Part of the Android platform and related patents, at least expanded hardware vendors such as Microsoft and Samsung patent cross-licensing agreement, it is true. However, Microsoft sued the largest U.S. bookseller chain Barnes & Noble, while filling the company's plan to light. These plans indicate that Microsoft is trying to force all Android products manufacturer, to pay relatively high royalties.
Interestingly, Microsoft and the U.S. Department of Justice (Department of Justice), after the lawsuit against the company by the U.S. government from the final eight and a half years of supervision. With the Microsoft litigation with Barnes and Noble upgrade, Barnes and Noble asked the U.S. government for a new round of Microsoft oversight.
2.Windows 8 controversy safety guide
Microsoft Windows 8 hardware vendors had told, they need to in safe mode, perform the next generation of guide specifications, which again raised the anger of open-source advocates. This specification is called the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, hereinafter referred to as UEFI), when the UEFI is in secure mode, it uses PKI, ban users to load the operating system and device drivers. In other words, this may prohibit product owners to install Linux.
Although the specification allows safe shut down UEFI boot capability, but Microsoft does not require hardware manufacturers to use Close button. Increasingly open source social anger, threatened to sue. Microsoft should now know that angered open source developers are not willing to let developers write programs for Windows the best way.
3 cloud discrimination
For non-Windows platform, Microsoft's recognition is extremely slow. Interestingly, Microsoft executives actually been committed, cloud applications will be in any one product, and runs on any OS. Microsoft executives Brand Anderson (Brad Anderson) recently said: "We build on each cloud service, in each product can be run." Anderson to both Windows Intune example, Windows Intune is a Microsoft management software and security monitoring services, the service launched in early 2011, and in November this year has been upgraded.
Anderson pointed out, Intune will allow users to work on any product, if Microsoft can deliver the product cloud, it is not just for the Windows platform, "but any of the products, this is our strategy." However, currently only Windows Intune service support for the Windows platform (and only supports running XP, Vista and Windows 7, Windows PC, or even do not support Windows Phone 7).
4 for the slow response of the tablet PC market
Consumers around the world did not wait for Windows 8 is listed, go buy tablet. Although Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system adds support for touch technology, and mobile phone maker Nokia and Microsoft co-operation between the 10-month-old already, but Microsoft is still far failed to enter the Tablet PC market. Market research firm Forrester even expected, when the market when Windows 8 system, Microsoft has to hand over to the other flat-panel market, competitors,
Worse, the Tablet PC's hot, has swallowed a netbook market share, this impact has been in Microsoft's earnings report reflected.
5. Office 365 mistakes
Microsoft is not really really want, you stop to buy the Office suite of high-margin products in favor of cloud products, but with the use of Google Apps at an alarming rate, Microsoft has no choice. Microsoft in 2011 released an updated version of the Business Productivity Online Standard Suite (Business Productivity Online Standard Suite), and known as the Office 365, Office 365 of the function is not perfect (Microsoft limits for shared global address list to import contact information, and require the use PowerShell to perform complex tasks to be simplistic, beta users complain about this).
Office 365 also had service interruptions, and with the previously installed on the computer than the Office suite, Office 365 is missing a lot of features. Office 365 Google Apps can not even match some of the most popular features, such as word processing documents in both co-editors, and so on. Office 365 also functions as co-editor, asked the local authority should have a copy. Microsoft Office 365 that have been successful, Microsoft said features such as synchronized Office 365 won to help customers. But as long as Microsoft Office 365 has not been enough attention on Google will open the door.
