Although Microsoft's Vista system has suffered a waterloo, it does not seem to have much impact on Microsoft's hegemony at present, because Microsoft's laissez-faire in the XP era made the Windows system quickly spread to thousands of households, achieving Microsoft's hegemony in the PC field.

Because of the great success of the Windows XP era, both the outside world and Microsoft itself have high hopes for the Vista system, but because of some objective reasons, the progress of Microsoft's new generation of Windows Vista system has not met expectations, which is due to some historical reasons.

The biggest change in Vista compared with the previous generation system is the upgrade of the system kernel to NT6.0.

How important is this?

Microsoft continued to use the NT6.0 series kernel until the Windows 10 era.

But the previous system is not, win2000 and winxp are NT5.0 series of kernels, the change of the kernel major version number usually means that the kernel has made many large-scale adjustments, in fact, it is true, the new kernel structure is better and more stable, and it also supports a bunch of functions that XP can not complete, but the correlation between the kernel and the driver is great, the kernel has made a huge number of adjustments, although Microsoft has done a lot of work to ensure compatibility, but there are many things that cannot be fully compatible.

These drivers, in turn, run in the kernel, which can cause a problem - cause system instability.

No one wanted such a system, so Microsoft banned these drivers from being loaded into the Vista kernel.

This results in poor hardware compatibility with Vista.

Similarly, the poor compatibility of the software is similar, and the implementation of the API is more standard, so some XP software has bugs.

Another disadvantage of Vista that has been scolded by everyone is that it occupies high resources, this is true, when Vista launched the beta version, the mainstream new computers did not even meet the minimum memory requirements, at that time, Vista's minimum memory requirements were 512MB, recommended memory 2GB, 64-bit version recommended memory 4GB.

At that time, a PC with 256MB of memory could already "beat 80% of the computers in the country", two years after the release of the Vista beta version, Microsoft should have found the problem, and by the time Vista was officially released in 2007, the configuration requirements became even higher.

In the past two years, although the mainstream hardware of the computer has been upgraded, in general, it still does not meet the requirements of using the Vista system.

The high configuration required by Vista does bring more powerful and beautiful performance, and it will not look outdated for a long time, but by the time Vista is officially released, most of the new computers may have just reached Vista's "passing line", and the main force of upgrades, "old computers", simply cannot be upgraded because the performance is too bad.

This is where most computers can't be upgraded, and new computers can be used, but the passing mark level is obviously not much better; Moreover, all kinds of incompatible old software, and various operating systems that can't be used by old devices, have naturally become Microsoft's Waterloo!

So although Vista is indeed a good operating system, it has received a lot of bad reviews because of the above series of "mistakes in {grasping the market situation}".

At this time, what Microsoft is doing is to "collect the user's experience on the one hand, improve the system on the other, and wait until the era that is really suitable for it comes".

Then I waited for two years, and in 2009, Microsoft felt that the time was almost right, the old equipment either had a new driver, or it had been eliminated, and all kinds of commonly used software were well adapted to Vista, and everyone's computer performance was also improved, and there was probably no problem in launching and selling Vista at this time, but Microsoft adopted a more aggressive and effective marketing method - packaging the updated system as a new operating system and launching it to the market.

Windows Vista to 7 is a small upgrade, which can be seen from the version number, Vista version number is 6.0, and Windows 7 version number is 6.1, Vista has accumulated in the past two years can just be used by 7, and the "new operating system" also makes everyone throw away the "Vista = not easy to use" association, plus Microsoft's overwhelming marketing and promotion, Windows 7 is likely to be successful.

In the past few years, there are many careerists who have ambitions to enter the operating system market, and Apple in the United States released a new generation of OS X 10.4 Tiger system {first support for Intel processors} after the release of the beta version of Microsoft's Vista system, and has been continuously upgraded in recent years.

Many operating systems based on Linux have also been listed in recent years, because of various reasons, these systems are free, but occupy a lot of markets, such as CNC machine tools and other microelectronics fields, and some handheld computers and other equipment.

It's just that after Microsoft released the new W7 system in a timely manner, the plans of these companies are basically going to fail, on the one hand, Microsoft has adjusted according to user feedback, on the other hand, the new system has changed its name, in contrast to Vista, so that everyone's "Vista = not easy to use" Lenovo will not be promoted to W7.

According to the feedback after the official launch of W7 in the past few months, Microsoft's strategy is successful, but there is still a high probability that the next or next Windows system will face failure!

The problem lies in the "compatibility" of the Windows system.

As a closed business software, Windows focuses on compatibility, which in itself is a very contradictory thing.

As a closed software, changes to the core functions of Windows need to be done by Microsoft itself, and other hardware developers and software developers can only rely on the doomed interfaces reserved by Windows, and they must also consider adapting to other hardware that is becoming more and more complex, and the development difficulty continues to accumulate.

At this point, a truly fully enclosed Apple computer does not have this problem, because most of the hardware and software on the Mac computer are provided or controlled by Apple Computer, which can ensure the absolute uniformity of the specifications of each generation of Mac computers, so as to avoid inexplicable compatibility problems.

The disadvantage of this is that there are very few Mac computer models, and new technologies cannot be applied to it for the first time, which can be regarded as their own advantages and disadvantages.

After Apple used Intel's x86CPU for the first time on Mac computers a few years ago, the first thing many people did when they bought back Mac computers was to flash Windows XP to facilitate the use of more application software and hardware.

Of course, open source like Linux is also a good way to solve the compatibility problem, for example, some smartphones now use the open source Linux operating system, manufacturers can customize the operating system for them according to the actual situation of their own products, so as to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the mobile phone.

However, this will introduce a new problem, and the modified version of Linux system will be more or less different from each other, so that the software running on it will probably not work on other Linux devices.

In fact, this problem of "operating system fragmentation" has appeared on Symbian smartphones, so the total number of Symbian mobile phones has fallen rapidly after reaching 100 million, and many smart device manufacturers have announced their withdrawal from the Symbian platform not long ago.

Symbian is a real-time, multi-tasking, microkernel embedded operating system, formerly known as PSION's EPOC, mainly designed for PDA and mobile phones, Symbian separates the kernel of the operating system from the graphical user interface technology, which can well adapt to different input platforms, so that manufacturers can design a variety of UI user interfaces for their products to adapt to different types of mobile phones, such as flip cover, straight board, 9 keyboards, full keyboards or touch pen input.

Symbian's ability to become the first smartphone system has nothing to do with its birth: more than 20 years ago, Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola, psion, Bird, and Xinke joined forces to form Symbian.

The Symbian system interface is very complex, and even if different models of Symbian phones use the same version of the system and the same UI interface, the mobile phone software may not work properly due to slight hardware differences such as screen resolution.

Therefore, when downloading resources such as Symbian's special software and screensaver standby diagram on the Internet, users need to carefully find the model of their mobile phone among a large number of mobile phone brands and models, and then download the corresponding version; Even so, because the Symbian system focuses on security and requires application software to have signature authentication, many software cannot be installed normally even if it is downloaded to the mobile phone, of course, these software are usually pirated software or games.

Therefore, various smart device manufacturers have long been in the heart of parting ways, and the Symbian alliance officially split this year, and now only Nokia is left to support; Google has set its sights on the mobile intelligence market, in the first two years it set up a handheld open device alliance, this alliance was initially composed of three manufacturers, Motorola, Sony, Xinke, the second year of the alliance's establishment Sony one accompanied by Google's open source operating system Android 1.0 officially released, Sony in the early stage of the Android system and Google's cooperation has been strongly supported by Google technology, other manufacturers are still waiting, Motorola and Xinke are each with their own plans.

It wasn't until a few months ago that Xinke released its first Android mobile phone, a 4-inch screen full touch device ASCEND P1 S, and Sony HERO{G3} was launched with Android 1.6 operating system at the same time, marking the beginning of the Android system to really mature, but also let people have a new understanding of smart phones, at this time the Android system ushered in a comprehensive outbreak, people used to use button mobile phones, but now people see the charm of full hand touch mobile phones!

The four most popular smart devices of the year, the iPhone 3GS, the Ascend P1 S, the Sony Hero{G3}, and the Starry Switch; Three smartphones, a game console became the best gifts for the New Year.

During this period of time, the fastest growth in users among all the software under the Star Group, the Star Mobile Assistant, which was officially launched three months ago, only took more than two months to have more than 50 million downloads without much promotion.

This mobile phone assistant software is so popular, naturally there is a special reason, the main reason is that the star mobile phone assistant comes with the star mobile phone system {Star OS} rom, not only to the appropriate feature machine to adapt the star mobile phone system, but also to those hot-selling smartphones in recent years to provide adaptation.

At this time, in addition to the alarm clock, timer, calculator, text message, music, Bluetooth, Weibo, reading, browser, input method and other limited functional applications, there are not many applications that really belong to Star OS, this is because the performance of most of the current mobile devices is too low, and it is already the limit to achieve such an effect, so although it looks like an intelligent system, the performance is no different from the feature machine that can only run a java program in the foreground.

However, after Yang Yi used Venus to tune the Java virtual machine several times, it can be said that it can be executed efficiently, with less energy consumption and higher fault tolerance, making Star OS's support for current Java software and games reach the top level of the mobile phone system.

Therefore, when some mobile phone equipment is outdated, and mobile phone users who run lag have no money to replace new equipment, and accidentally find that they can brush Xingkong OS through the Starry Sky Mobile Assistant, and indeed verify that brushing Xingkong OS can make the mobile phone almost brand new, they began to spread this information in various networks and daily communication, and became a glorious tap water.

Therefore, more and more mobile phone users gradually know the software of Star Mobile Phone Assistant, and download and use, the number of this part of the user is still very objective, and there are still not many rich people who replace new equipment every year.

What's more, the price of this year's new smart devices has suddenly increased a lot compared to previous mobile phones, and the current iPhone 3GS, Xinke Ascend P1 S, and Sony Hero{G3} minimum configuration prices are all starting from 2999 yuan, and you also need qiǎng gòu.

This is the reason why the number of downloads of Starry Sky Mobile Assistant has soared, first providing the adaptation of Starry Sky OS of dozens of popular mobile phones to further expand the potential user base; Then he was tasked with writing a special version of Starfield OS for hundreds of commonly used software and popular games to enhance the attractiveness of Starry Sky OS.

This is the big move of the Star mobile phone system to achieve corner overtaking, but as the Star OS becomes more and more famous, the factor that limits its further expansion of the user scale has gradually emerged, that is, the official warranty terms.

The latest mobile phone manufacturers develop a three-pack agreement that generally stipulates that if the third-party mobile phone system is brushed by its brand mobile phone, it will lose its warranty because of "artificially destroying the integrity of the mobile phone system", and at this time, the three guarantees are generally different according to the region, the shortest one year and the longest is three years, at this time China is one and a half years, and the United States is two years, so it restricts the further development of Star OS.

Now Star OS is mainly installed in old phones that no longer have a warranty.

For this situation, Yang Yi has nothing to do at this time, and even in order not to cause disputes, he has to warn the user that he may lose his warranty qualification before flashing the machine.

However, at present, Starry Sky OS has basically no competitors in the old mobile phone system, and even many users can't wait to brush Starry Sky OS before the warranty period of their new mobile phones.

This operating system created mainly by Yang Yi's hand is really easy to use,Although the system functions are simple,The theme is only three provided by the system,The text is not modulated by default,In addition to java software,You can only install those software added in the star mobile phone assistant。

However, because the system optimization of Star OS is higher, there are fewer bugs, and the Java virtual machine equipped with it has basically reached the limit, it can be said that it is the best operating system under hardware constraints, so it is naturally popular with the majority of users.

Apple's system and Android's system are still in the development period, and their market share is even far inferior to Starry Sky OS; After more than 10 years of development, the Symbian system has tens of thousands of applications, but these applications have not retained users.

After all, there are thousands of Java applications that basically overlap with these applications in terms of function, and the programmers of Star Group have recompiled more than 100 commonly used applications and popular games, making the Star OS platform actually have many software and games that users urgently need.

Most of these more than 100 apps and games are imitations of well-known software and games on mobile platforms such as Symbian, as well as PC and handheld platforms, and most of them are open source without patent disputes, and those with patents have also spent money to buy patents.

Most patents are actually art resources and audio resources, and they don't cost much.

This is Yang Yi's overall plan to accelerate scientific and technological progress, and the field of smart phones cannot be entered for the time being, because there are too many patents involved in smart phones, and it is not a good time to enter at present!

However, with the increase in system and software users, it will not be difficult to enter in the future, and today's Starry Switch device is actually an experience for smart devices in the future!

Starry Switch does not have a baseband chip, and there is only a Bluetooth chip used for wireless connection, there are not many new things in this chip, just a chip based on the Bluetooth 4.0 protocol, just some advanced factors in architecture and process technology, lower energy consumption than chips produced by ordinary manufacturers, longer link distance, and more stable signal......

The materials used in Starry Switch as a whole are basically new materials, including handles, cases, etc.

The core of Starry Switch is the chip, a chip based on the "chaos" architecture, the performance of this chip is not stronger than the current mainstream chips, of course, this is compared with Intel's contemporary x86, the strength of this chip lies in the fact that it can work together.

That is to say, if the device can install two chips, then the performance is 1+1, of course, there will be some small losses, which are negligible!

And this kind of collaboration can be carried out through the Internet,It also runs in the cloud,And Starry Switch has a chip in the handheld,There is a chip in the base,The two chips are not exactly the same,The base contains an independent GPU structure,And the handheld does not,Therefore,The graphics output is chosen480P resolution,Although in this era,It's already HD!

Although there are still deficiencies in all aspects, it is already a very sincere equipment for the present, but because of the constraints of chips, the daily output can only be maintained at about 400,000 units.

For players around the world, this is not enough, but there is no way, the chip can be said to be the most high-tech creation on the planet, the current front-end is still Intel in the United States, Chen Guo's integrated circuit manufacturing company and Huaguo's Zhongjing Microelectronics are ranked second and third, there are some other manufacturing companies in the world, but the overall technology and scale are not as good as these three.

At present, the chips of Star Group are entrusted to the production of Datang Electronics of Huaguo and Temasek of Singapore, because those three do not take over this business, and Yang Yi has no choice.

The latest 32nm technology cannot be used, and can only be produced with 45nm technology, and the current yield rate of 45nm is not high for Datang Electronics and Temasek.

Although Yang Yi has also saved several high-precision 3D printers to produce chips, for some reasons, the chips produced can only be used for his own use. 11
