Microsoft to roll out Windows 10 as it jostles with Google and Apple

微软可能免费提供新Win10版本来抗衡谷歌和苹果的竞争



Microsoft will unveil the first major update of its Windows operating system under new boss Satya Nadella on Wednesday as it fights to win back mobile customers from Apple and Google.
The Windows 10 upgrade will be revealed at an event in Redmond, Washington, and could mark the end of an era for the tech giant. Analysts are predicting Microsoft could make the new system available for free – a major shift for Microsoft which used to make most of its money from selling its operating system.
Windows once dominated the computing market, but its share of the world’s operating systems has fallen as users have shifted to mobile devices. This year people will buy three times as many devices running Google’s Android operating system as they will buy PCs, the area Microsoft still dominates.
“That’s the problem of the incumbent,” said Colin Gillis, senior technology analyst at BGC Partners. Gillis said if successful the system will make Microsoft the first company to offer one operating system that will work across all devices, from PCs to tablets and phones. “Arguable Microsoft could put itself ahead of the competition for a change,” he said.
Business customers received a preview of the system last October, which will replace the unpopular Windows 8 operating system. The company has said it skipped using the name Windows 9 to go straight to 10 in order to make a break with the past.
Windows 8 focussed on touch commands as Microsoft positioned itself to take on Apple and Google in mobile and tablet computing. But customers found the system awkward and a decision to drop the start menu had to be reversed with an update, Windows 8.1.
Frank Gillett, principal analyst at Forrester, said Microsoft had failed to convince enough people that Windows 8 was worth the upgrade and that he expected to see a significant shift in the way the company released its operating systems in the future.
“Windows 8 is on about 10% of PCs and even on tablets it’s only around 19%,” he said. “The problem is people don’t upgrade because it costs and it is scary.”
Gillett said that developers had also been put off by Windows 8 and that it was vital that the company won them back with the new system. “You could argue that this is the last chance for Windows to make itself relevant for developers in the modern age,” he said.
He predicted that this could be the last big version of Windows and in the future, Microsoft will roll out upgrades in the background, much as Google does with its Chrome system, as it responds to changing technology.
Microsoft has a history of launching popular operating systems after unpopular upgrades, which could bode well for Windows 10. But Gillett said Microsoft faced an uphill battle even if the new system proves a hit. “I’m skeptical that even with these technological improvements Microsoft will it needs to become a solid instead of distant number three in mobile,” he said.

windows系统将在本周三(国内周四凌晨)迎来更新,这是微软新掌门人Satya Nadella上任以来的第一个重要版本更新,试图招揽使用苹果和谷歌系统的移动平台用户。
新版本的Win10将会在华盛顿雷德蒙发布,这可能标志着微软这个科技巨头收费时代的终结。分析家猜测新的win10可能会免费-这无疑是这家主要依靠销售操作系统的公司的巨大转变。

Windows一度雄霸计算机市场,但是随着用户向移动平台的转移,它的操作系统在世界范围内的份额也在下降。如今,运行谷歌系统设备的销售量是运行windows系统的个人电脑销量的三倍,但是微软在PC领域仍处于统治地位。

这是新的掌门需要面对的问题,BGC高级分析师Colin Gillis说,假如新的操作系统成功了,微软将会是第一家为所有设备提供统一操作系统的公司,它的这个系统可以同时在平板,手机和个人电脑上运行。饱受争议的微软将会在转型的竞争中处在领先位置。

去年十月,微软向商业客户提供了Win10技术预览版本,这个版本未来将会取代市场表现不佳的Win8。微软说它们直接跳过了Win9直接发布Win10就是为了和过去做个了断。
Win8的重点是触控操作,是微软为了在手机和平板领域同苹果和谷歌竞争的产物,但是消费者发现Win8很难上手,随后微软就在Win8.1的更新中恢复了开始菜单。弗雷斯特首席分析师Frank Gillett说,微软没能向消费者证明Win8是一个值得更新的版本,他期待未来微软发布新系统的方式将会有巨大的改变。

Win8在个人电脑上的运行比例是10%而在平板上仅占19%,他说,人们不愿使用这用这个系统的原因是它是收费的而且贵的吓人。许多开发者也放弃了Win8,因此推出新的操作系统重新赢得Window的客户至关重要。你大可这样说,在这个科技更迭快速变化的时代,这是windows最后一次把它和开发者联系起来的机会。

Gillett预测,这可能是Window系统今后的最后一个版本,将来微软可能想谷歌的系统那样在后台进行更新,这样的更新方式能更快的适应科技的发展。

微软有不少成功的先例,它能在不尽如人意的更新后推出新的市场反应不错的Windows版本,希望这对于Win10来说是个好兆头。Gillett还表示即使这次更新Win10市场反应良好,但微软未来还会面临艰难的战斗。即使微软进行了这些技术革新,微软在手机系统市场排名第三的位置就能实至名归么,我仍表示怀疑。原创翻译:龙腾网 http://www.ltaaa.com
