How did Fang Tian die? One of the main reasons he was reborn into this era was because of the operating system.
Before he died, he was still busy developing applications related to the operating system.
Lin Tianshan looked at Fang Tian in a daze and thought he was considering. He asked, "Fang Tian, what's your decision?"
Fang Tian said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested."
Lin Tianshan was puzzled and asked, "Developing an operating system is the ultimate goal of many software developers. Why are you not interested?"
"It's not that I'm not interested in developing an operating system. On the contrary, no one in the world wants to develop an operating system more than I do!" Fang Tian said seriously.
Lin Tianshan was puzzled and asked, "You're not interested in …"
"I'm not interested in joining Project 378." Fang Tian rejected directly.
Lin Tianshan frowned and was even more puzzled. He asked, "You want to develop an operating system so much, but you don't want to join the country's team. Can you do it yourself?"
Fang Tian laughed and said, "You might not believe me, but I can do it."
Lin Zhendong, who had been quiet all this while, could not help but say, "Do you know how much data is needed for an operating system? How complicated is it? Can you do it yourself? "
Fang Tian took a sip of tea and said, "Of course, I'm not doing it alone. I'm leading a team to do it."
Lin Zhendong sized up Fang Tian, his face full of suspicion. "What a joke. You think your team can be compared to Microsoft? You think your operating system is better than Windows? "
"Yes." Fang Tian said confidently. From the perspective of a person from the future, Windows was not very useful. It was certain to be better than it.
Lin Tianshan persuaded, "Fang Tian, I know your software development skills are very good. But the technical requirements for developing an operating system are very high. Project 378 has hundreds of researchers working hard, but it's still very difficult. If you can join us, it will be good for you and the country. "
Fang Tian took a sip of tea and asked, "Let's not talk about this. Elder Lin, what do you think is the most important thing for an operating system to be successful? "
Lin Zhendong beat him to it and said, "Do you still need to ask? Of course, it's technology. As long as the system is done well, it will succeed. "
"You mean that as long as the system is done well, there will definitely be a lot of users?"
"Of course," Lin Zhendong said without hesitation.
A good product would naturally be sought after. Lin Zhendong couldn't understand why Fang Tian would ask such an idiotic question.
"Pa!" Fang Tian put down his teacup heavily and said, "Wrong, wrong. According to your philosophy, even if the system is completed, it will still fail!"
"What kind of person are you? Speak properly. Why are you scolding me?" Lin Zhendong said unhappily.
"I'm not scolding you. I'm just telling the truth," Fang Tian said calmly.
"Then tell me, why did the system fail when it was done?" Lin Zhendong's expression was very ugly. Project 378 had a few hundred researchers. According to what Fang Tian said, even if they did a good job, they would still fail. Then what was the point of having a research team? They would just be disbanded and go home to sleep!
Fang Tian turned to look at the scenery outside the window and said, "It's not enough to just have the system. What's more important is the software ecosystem!"
Software ecosystem?
Both Lin Zhendong and Lin Tianshan were stunned when they heard this name. It was obvious that they had encountered a name barrier.
One was a genius in the IT industry, and the other was a giant. They were not stupid, but Fang Tian's philosophy was too advanced.
In this era, the internet had just started. Lin Tianshan and Lin Zhendong had no idea what software ecosystem was.
"What is software ecosystem?" Lin Tianshan looked at Fang Tian and asked.
Fang Tian frowned slightly. He sorted out the thoughts in his mind and then said, "The so-called ecology, simply put. It is to make your system complete and have a large number of applications. It is like a natural ecosystem. Users will only be willing to come if you have everything you need. "
Lin Zhendong's lips twitched when he heard this. Isn't it just more fun and useful software? Why is he using a new term to pretend to be a professor?
Lin Zhendong said, "If the system is done well, there will be a lot of software. I can guarantee this."
"How come you still don't understand?" Fang Tian said slowly. "Microsoft is the world's number one operating system. Its ecosystem is already set up. Developers are willing to develop software on their platform, and the users are used to it. It's like they are staying there and don't want to leave. If you develop your system, how many people will use it? If there are few users, the developers will not be able to make any profits and will not have the motivation to continue developing. If you don't develop software, the users will not find the software they want and will not want to use your system. If there are few users, you won't develop software. If you don't develop software, you will have fewer users. This will be a vicious cycle! "
Lin Tianshan listened to Fang Tian and felt that what Fang Tian said made sense!
Lin Zhendong pondered over Fang Tian's words and did not know what to say.
Fang Tian's mouth was dry after talking so much. He drank his tea and put down his cup. He said, "Whether you can set up the software ecosystem will determine the success of your operating system!"
Lin Zhendong nodded and said, "Project 378's system can support many applications. There should be more than 100,000 applications."
"Then do you know how many applications Microsoft has? A conservative estimate is more than 10 million. "Fang Tian said." Also, most of the applications will be updated within a year. "
Lin Zhendong knew what Fang Tian said. No matter if it's the number of applications or the user experience, it will not be as good as Windows.
Software ecosystem is not something that can be set up by the operating system alone. Lin Zhendong frowned and felt a headache coming on!
"I am not bragging. If you want to set up an operating system, I can do it. But the ecosystem is the most difficult part. "
"Is there no other way to set up an autonomous operating system? Are we going to watch the Americans rule the world?" Lin Tianshan asked.
"Of course, there is a way." Fang Tian laughed. "I will not hide it from you. I had set up a company, and my ultimate goal is to develop an autonomous operating system. I will not do it for now. I will set up my ecosystem first."
"Your ecosystem?" Lin Tianshan could guess what Fang Tian wants, but he still does not understand.
Fang Tian thought for a while and said, "Actually, there are millions of software applications. But there are only a few categories. Entertainment, social networking, etc. You just need to introduce products in each category and make them the best! After the autonomous operating system is set up, you can transplant the ecosystem to it! "
Although Microsoft's Windows operating system had taken over most of the PC market, and it will be difficult to succeed in the PC market. But even if the PC market is not successful, there is still the mobile operating system!
As long as the mobile operating system is introduced before the Americans, the chances of success will be high!
The success of the operating system depends on the software ecosystem. Before the autonomous operating system is set up, Fang Tian will focus on setting up the software ecosystem!
