Sun rushes to the fore: All Free


Many people are using free software, and even in each PC, can be found in "free" software, figure, whether it is really free, or the user does not have to pay. Users are always "free" has a good impression.

Undeniable popularity of the Internet for "free" software has been a large number of general
And individual users to use, business use of What Is not?

Someone always says, bought the saddle from the horse also Peibu Qi? Seems to software investment throughout the information to occupy the position is not important, but in the enterprise applications, this saddle really is not easy with things. Users do not bring direct benefits the software when the software developer pulled out hard enough from the user's pocket money. The software developers are also users, it is also the operating system with upper software vendors, but also software development tools, the ring part of the link, the decision to allow software applications to become an important factor in the development of the food chain.

November 30, Java's heavyweights Sun made it, throw rhetoric: all software is free, starting from the Solaris system, including the Java Enterprise System, Sun N1Management software, there is Sun's development tools, together with all free of charge, and users can download Sun's Web site to use, no time limit, no functional limitations, all previous versions of the same charges.

Sun has not been hope that we call it the server manufacturer, because it is a system company, is a software system more good company, this "free" software is that it is just good at it proud Java, Solaris ... ... Do not see the future of the software, or a novelty factor.

In fact, when in years, Sun has been quietly free trial software strategy, which first introduced a free version of Solaris10, in 6 months even been downloaded 300 million copies. With this foundation, Sun is more the end of the natural heart, and in Microsoft's monopoly market, more users compete for the best way. So Sun has thrown all free download software blockbuster. This is for the Sun, the direct loss of a lot of revenue, after all, a Java enterprise development environment, or quite expensive, but free will make more people can afford to use Sun's software, used by many people, need Sun to provide them with paid software support services to people with it, after all, the highest level of the original software vendor truth is that everyone knows.

From selling software to selling services, looks like some frustration. But think back to thin, unprecedented in the Internet era, selling software to expand its market share is really not easy, to better take full advantage of the power of the Internet, more so those who wish to use the original service to ensure their rights Users are protected from these effective user who is also a return to be cast a wide net, focusing on the fishing.

Today Sun has been free, while free software is more and more small companies, the next one free giant will be? IBM or Microsoft?
