How Important Is it to Have the Latest Operating System?

Most of the domestic operating systems are based on the secondary development of Linux. Effective April 8, 2014, Microsoft Corporation in the United States stopped providing service support for the Windows XP SP3 operating system, which caused widespread concern from society and the majority of users and concerns about information security.

• Red Flag Linux

  Red Flag Linux is one of the larger and more mature Linux distributions in China. It is also a well-known operating system in China. Together with Linux manufacturers in Japan and South Korea, it has launched AsianuxServer and has a complete education system and certification system. ^[3]

  WindowsXP and some domestic LINUX operating systems are almost the same in terms of layout and operation. In other words, the two systems are practically useful to users.

  In terms of price, almost all domestic operating systems are free. The retail price of Win8.1 varies from version to version, ranging from hundreds to thousands. In terms of price, domestic operating systems have advantages.

  Ni Guangnan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that applications on the computer work with the support of the operating system. For example, the operating system is like the foundation, and the application is like the house on the foundation. In other words, as long as the computer is networked, who controls the operating system will have all the operating information on the computer.

  Although the state also has measures to support domestic operating systems, it is scattered in various parts and should be unified and coordinated at the central level. The state should further increase support for domestic operations in government procurement. Especially for some industries, they are worried about adopting domestic operating systems. If there is a problem that requires responsibility, relevant departments should take measures to exempt them. At the same time, the development of domestic operating systems should not rely solely on domestic operating system enterprises. Under the initiative of several members of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, it was jointly initiated by China Electronics Information Industry Corporation, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, China Software Industry Association and other enterprises and institutions. With the China Intelligent Terminal Operating System Industry Alliance, this will change the embarrassment of the lack of software and hardware support for domestic operating systems.

  If domestic operating systems want to pass the market barrier, they must break the vicious circle of "no chickens or no chickens".

  Ni Guangnan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering over the age of seventy, has recently become the "China's Intelligent Terminal Operating System Driver".

  This identity began in the winter of 2013. At that time, the "China Intelligent Terminal Operating System Industry Alliance" was just established, and Ni Guangnan, as the main sponsor, brought in nearly a hundred member units for the alliance.

  "This is not a good job." Cao Dong, secretary general of the Alliance, said, "From the beginning, some foreign operating system companies have done all possible means of shading and obstruction. Academician Ni is under great pressure."

  Ni Guangnan didn't really care about these external pressures. What he really cared about was the internal challenge: how to unite the alliance members and build a unified domestic operating system ecosystem-in fact, this is also the fact that domestic operating systems have been unable for many years. The main reason to open the situation.

  Driven by the highest decision-making level, the government and enterprise user market has broken the ice. It is the mountain of personal consumer market that is facing the domestic operating system.

  In 2014, the dissolution and liquidation of the domestic operating system manufacturer Zhongke Hongqi became a landmark event for domestic operating systems. Although there is a dispute over the interests of shareholders, the lack of market capacity for blood production has long been recognized as a bloody lesson in the industry.

  Initially, the alliance initiated by Ni Guangnan also formulated a timetable for the replacement of domestic operating systems, hoping to launch a new version of the domestic desktop operating system that supports application stores in October 2014. First, localized substitution will be implemented on the desktop, and then within three to five years, from The desktop system extends to mobile.

  From September 2014 to the end of the year, new versions of operating systems of alliance members such as Puhua, Winning Kirin, Sipu, and the Open Source Software Innovation Joint Lab were released one after another. However, due to the fact that the application store entity company has not been able to establish, each system The desire to harmonize standards has not been fulfilled.

  Ni Guangnan believes that this is the relationship between chicken eggs and chicken eggs. Without applications, no one is willing to use your operating system, no one uses the operating system, and no one will develop applications for you.

  Qu Chengyi, a member of the National Advisory Committee for Information Technology Experts, said that improving application ecology, increasing application software development, and providing good application service support are all high slopes for domestic operating systems to climb.

  What Ni Guangnan now thinks is to find the right person at the helm of the app store company as soon as possible, "the wheels turn, and you can move forward step by step, you can solve the problem, staying in place will only fall into an endless loop."
