Steve Jobs attacked Microsoft: Longhorn technology behind Apple’s four-year
For that field Mac machine and PC machine is excellent is bad of fierce debate, so far many people of mind in the left with sharp of memory. just in in recent years, about this class of debate has is no longer so striking has, causes is Apple Mac machine of market share has sharp fell. Mac machine currently in world range within of market share has fell to has 3% around. Nevertheless, on General of Mac fans for, they on Mac machine of enthusiasm and no therefore and has any of attenuation. instead, They will remain, as always, came to San Francisco for the annual Macworld Conference. in the eyes of those Mac fans, software giant Microsoft is still a “Kingdom of the devil”.
To remove the old resentment between Apple and Microsoft, this must not happen overnight, but as time went by, this degree of resentment in an increasingly weakened. The difference with the past is that now when you lift the gates or Microsoft’s name, Mac fans have not issued again dismissive of the hush sound of Hua. Mac fans this change of attitude should I jobs I have certain relations on Microsoft’s changing attitudes. In recent years, jobs has changed his previous sworn with Microsoft’s idea and instead think that Apple and Microsoft can that lines are not contrary to the.
At the Macworld Conference on January 5, qiaobusite shows a photo of gates. This photo appeared in 1984 published product information material above. For jobs of this practice, the following Mac fans will give a warm response. Even when Microsoft a leader was invited to took the floor, although this led in the course of his speech is very nervous, but the following Mac fans without the Microsoft leadership and jeers, but quietly listening to the finish. The Microsoft speech was made by the leadership, Microsoft has been specifically introduced the latest upgrade of Office for Mac version.
Can be counted as above is Apple and Microsoft’s latest reconciliation between the two companies. So jobs ‘ attitude to Gates I have changed it? It should be said that relations between the two of them have a lot more ease than ever before. Jobs said that he had with gates at last summer who were interviewed, but he and gates are busy taking care of families with children, so not many ties between the two men later.
It is interesting, when Apple introduced last autumn when the Windows version of iTunes MP3 music player, jobs also went out to go to have a prototype as a gift to the gates. Jobs said, he sent out to the gates after the MP3 player, has not been Gates ‘ answer, but they do not seem to. Jobs said: “we (last summer) talks atmosphere very well. Both of us spend most of their time itself in the IT industry, and we were both doomed future will continue to wander in the IT industry. Although sometimes I and Gates is no consensus on some issues, but in fact I personally was very dear to him. ”
But this does not mean that jobs in the gates have completely can’t make it. In an interview at the same time, jobs also went on to say, if from a creative perspective, Apple’s Macintosh operating system far ahead of Microsoft’s Windows product. Jobs said: “the (current) Apple product again ahead of Microsoft 2-3 Microsoft copying our Apple products, this is a very interesting thing. I have often said, we most cheap Apple has become the Microsoft research and Development Department. ”
Talk about Microsoft’s Longhorn next generation operating system, jobs said, Longhorn levels at best, we can match the level of Mac OS x (OS x service was launched 4 years). The industry believes that Longhorn’s official launch date has been stalled, currently first has to wait until 2006 before shipment. Steve jobs, believes that Longhorn will probably have to wait until 2007 to listing. Jobs said: “they are the biggest challenge is, how to get Longhorn rolled out. ”
If Steve jobs is not false, then Microsoft will lag behind on the technology of Apple 6-7. Jobs went on to say: “compared with their technology lags behind Apple before 10, they did a great deal of progress has been made. “In view of this, while Mac fans are no longer on Windows hissed, but between jobs and gates to really do meet a smiling perish debt of gratitude and of revenge, clearly still need to give both of them with more time to it.
