Web 2.0 of Linux cloud computation creats jointly source

September 12, 2008

[Plan world network reports solely]Below the condition that walking staggers and can not obtain revolutionary development all the time in desktop Linux, the development that Linux stabilizes in server market makes its by more coronal with ” company level applies ” calling card. However, as the Linux breakthrough in mobile computation domain, mobile office let the concept that Linux company level applies have a kind of new explanatory note. In addition, web 2.0 and cloud calculative development also gave a source to bring new development opportunity and challenge.

Fictitious the tycoon VMware that changes a field, Nuojiya that holding lead dominant position in mobile domain firmly, the near future joined foundation of Linux of organization opening a source in succession, this one phenomenon caused the widespread attention of people again. As opened source plenary meeting with the world that held in the United States in August in July (of OSCON 2008) and LinuxWorld 2008 congress hold, industry developed around domain opening a source new round discussion.

Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu Linux author thinks, linux is in the adversary with desktop right field is not Microsoft actually, however apple, bold make forecast, the Linux inside two years will surely surmount an apple. And the development that more people are not fond of desktop Linux, combine facility of traditional desktop Linux and mobile computation however rise, point out this will be Linux open up a new La Hai, the mobile computation facility that provides Linux also produces limelight on these two congress.

In addition, about Web 2.0 and cloud calculative activity opening a source also is in increase sharply, cloud computation opens the concussion of source concept to will produce a change in network times to the tradition, this has a challenge already among them, also put in the development opportunity with tremendous move.

　 Desktop Linux walking is faltering

Newest investigation report of issuance a market points out, in desktop domain, the market of Windows 91% is had rate still firmly holds absolutely dominant position, mac OS X is 8% , and be in all the time ” decimally ” had the Linux of rate to be broken through eventually 1% , accordingly, somebody will call Linux desktop system 2008 year.

Undoubted, linux operating system leaves deep impressional to the person is carry in the server, because its open the character of the source, make its have higher security and more applicable 2 development function, in server market, linux is having very high market to have rate and good public praise. However, desktop Linux domain still lies however flabby and fixed, the technology is not quite mature, do not accord with true commercial application, the soft hardware that also lacks a few business develops the support of business and respect of national government policy, because this grows rate,compare all the time slow. Such looking, to all the time backwater not for the desktop Linux before, this one breakthrough is worth affirmation really.

Remember be in 2006, the country allotted jointly about the branch ” change an operating system about installing an authorised edition beforehand ” announcement, this brought unprecedented opportunity for the development of desktop Linux. Each big OEM manufacturer in succession hand in hand Linux manufacturer, install Linux operating system beforehand, lifted Linux of a desktop install tide beforehand. Regard home as manufacturer of two big Linux, division red flag is mixed in win the bid software expresses respectively, the result in OEM market is satisfactory 2007, reached 4 million amount level with 5 million respectively, this on one hand the progressively maturity that Linux of profit from desktop uses, additional on one hand also of respect of profit from policy give aid to.

Of OEM install a quantity to come up beforehand, but whether can you think desktop Linux has gotten approbate and populared? The answer is negative apparently. OEM installs Linux to be able to be regarded as a when governmental authorised edition changes beforehand mandatory behavior, also can be regarded as the 2nd kind of OEM manufacturer choice in weichiing with Microsoft profit gain, but not be to come from what watch apiration at using householder to drive for certain however. Accordingly, what our more sees is the user is after the computer that the choose and buy installs Linux beforehand, uninstall Linux to reinstall the phenomenon of pilfer edition Windows. The personage inside course of study ever expressed, of Linux PC uninstall rate is quite high, the Linux PC that is used truly may be insufficient 5% .

Because the user uses the use convention of Windows nurturance for a long time,this is on one hand, because desktop Linux progress is slower,also be really on the other hand. Desktop Linux stays in OEM to be installed beforehand all the time, industry application and custom-built change wait for a respect, in the OA system of the desktop, especially Office domain, fail to gain revolutionary headway all the time. However, authority is very clear, how to solve desktop office problem effectively to will become the key that desktop Linux develops.

Delectable is, the ODF below the OOXML of Microsoft and Linux operated a respect to had done a lot of works in each other, and Chinese documentation is own standard UOF is OK also well compatible ODF and OOXML, this laid very good foundation for the development of Linux Office. In the meantime, win the bid soft also rolled out system of Tibetan article Office, held together with Dong Hua university ” win the bid software of office of Office of general Hua Cangwen ” groom class, this is custom-built to desktop Linux change viatic development, also be to enlarge Linux desktop user group attempt.

Although the development of desktop Linux is ceaseless and thorough as the diversity that opens source application, but a lot of personages opening a source or can realise soberly, desktop Linux is achieved impossibly finally absolutely the ridge in a field of Microsoft Windows cuts off the water supply today smooth, although can reach the level that Linux holds share of 30% or so market in server market today, also will be a huge success. Accordingly, in desktop Linux development slow, foreground remains the same below not quite clear case, public figure of more industry opening a source throws the look a few new fields, try to disentomb a new La Hai.
