235 The joy and sorrow of apples

Microsoft's selection of the commander has lasted so long, and it is naturally a helpless move.

In fact, the first candidate is not Stephen. Elop, for example, the current president of Oracle, and one of the vice presidents of General Motors are ranked ahead of him. But everyone knows that Microsoft's selection of the commander this time is to put out the fire. If you can save it, it is a great hero in the history of Microsoft, and if you can't save it, it is estimated that it won't be long before you have to pat your ass and get out, which naturally makes these executives who have already proven themselves in other companies think more.

To be honest, at this time, Microsoft's situation is in everyone's eyes, and now the first task is to rebuild consumer confidence in win10, but where is this confidence so good to re-establish? Especially now that Microsoft Research is panicking, it's even harder to make a difference. So Stephen. Elopken was really brave enough to accept the position.

At this time, after a series of procedural cutscenes, the board of directors was nearing the end, and all directors had unanimously approved Stephen. Elop's decision to become the fourth generation of Microsoft's leaders.

Microsoft Chairman John Brown. Thompson also began to conclude: "We are pleased to have reappointed a new person at the helm today, and we are confident that Microsoft will be on the right path under the leadership of Mr. Elop. Congratulations, Stephen, and we look forward to your wonderful inaugural address as well. ”

Thompson's summary is very short, and the chairman of Microsoft is not having a good time at this time, and the outside world is also full of criticism of him, such as many people who are dissatisfied with the fact that the selection of Microsoft's CEO in charge of him takes too long and reveals too much information about potential CEO candidates.

He also has a hard time saying about this, is Microsoft's CEO easy to pick now? If you pick it well, others have to be willing to come, and as for revealing the information about the potential candidate for the CEO, he is not willing to do so, in this case, he always has a way to test other people's ideas, in short, everything is settled now. He was relieved.

As for Stephen, of course. Whether Elop can really lead Microsoft to regain its glory and solve the current win10 crisis, he doesn't know in his heart, but at least now he is not so stressed, right?

……

Tim. Cook can be described as painful and happy lately.

The decision to decisively give up IOS for the time being and sign the Shizi smartphone system made the Apple president also pushed to the forefront of the hug five months ago, and this decision naturally caused countless controversies. Especially in the early days of contract exposure. Countless people have started to pop up on the Internet in the name of apple fans, claiming that Tim. Cook's decision is ridiculous, absurd, and a step backwards in the history of innovation.

Some critics even commented that the newly produced Apple mobile phone equipped with Huaxia's Shizi intelligent system is digging its own grave. The reason given is simple, IOS is part of Apple and now Tim. Cook even gave up this Apple classic operating system in order to cater to the Chinese people, which is equivalent to giving up the entire European and American markets for the Chinese market.

However, from the time after Apple's autumn new product launch to the present, all the data has been squeezed out of these and questioned Tim. Cook's decision was made by so-called Apple loyalists and critics.

Apple's own data is not needed, and the reports issued by the most authoritative market research agencies are enough to illustrate the problem. IN FY4 QUARTER 2015, THE IPHONE WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE SHIKO SMARTPHONE SYSTEM. Overall shipments reached a staggering 58 million units, nearly 17 million units more than the 41 million units in the fiscal third quarter, and 11 million units more than the 47 million units in the 2014 Q4 fiscal quarter.

Even if you don't look at these sales figures, downloading feedback from the backend app store in the past five months is enough to prove that Tim. How wise Cook's decision was.

In fact, the software "Programming for All" is indeed even more popular in Europe and the United States than in Asia. In the case of only one million applications on the application exchange platform of Huaxia's subsystem. There are more than 3 million applications on the English subsystem application exchange platform in the European and American markets, and the number of downloads of various applications is more than 10 million times a day.

According to Apple's background data. Nowadays, people log on to Apple online to search for more genuine music albums and videos, as well as some classic big games, while the classic games on its own platform are no longer cared for......

Taking the game "Plants vs. Zombies", which was once popular all over the world, as an example, there are more than 100 similar creative game applications on the application exchange platform of the subsystem. A variety of plant shapes have completely subverted the previous style, and various weapons with random styles have also completely exploded the original style.

For example, a "Plant Fighting Zombies" BOSS with more than 10 million downloads planted a dandelion on the roof of the house, and then kept fanning the wind. The seeds immediately flew all over the sky to cheer up other plants, and the visual sense of flying in the sky was much cooler than the original.

There is also a brain-opening "plants save the world", in which the earth has been occupied by zombies, and then a scientist gives the plants a command. As a result, a large number of plants came out at the critical moment when human beings were about to perish, and took the initiative to wage war against zombies......

The facts seem to show that these Westerners are more idle and boring than Easterners, and Blizzard's World of Warcraft has been changed into countless mini-versions, but fortunately, the library provided by "Programming for All" has avoided all kinds of cartoon characters that will cause infringement controversy. What's more, this library doesn't require much effort to manage, because there are countless bored people around the world who add original content to this library every day.

In short, the sales of Apple products reached a new high, making more money, and slapping those critics in the face. Cook was still not happy.

Actually, Tim. Cook agrees with critics that if he abandons IOS altogether, he would be handing over his lifeline, such as Apple's phone, which is forced to run five Google apps when it comes out. This makes Tim. Cook was rather helpless.

Therefore, Apple is still investing most of its profits in the follow-up research and development of the IOS system, looking forward to regaining the initiative. However, a huge amount of money has been poured into it, and progress is still slow, or even no progress, and it is still bothering all Apple engineers to integrate a little bit of the Shizi system into the IOS system in a short period of time.

It's just to make Tim. One of the reasons for Cook's displeasure, and what makes him even more depressed, is the pressure from Samsung and other original Android brands. Not surprisingly, these manufacturers have now restarted their competitive layout for the high-end machine market.

In the past, they were limited by the difference between the system and the ecological environment, so that these manufacturers could not compete with Apple in high-end models, but now it is different, everyone's platform is the same, and the process of manufacturing mobile phones is like that, why should they give up the most profitable field to others? (To be continued......)
