We all know that the United States is the most powerful country in science and technology in the world, and it has mastered technological hegemony. However, with the increasingly fierce technological friction between China and the United States, in recent years, the United States has upgraded its chip export control, which has caught our necks. For a time, "lack of cores and less souls" has caused widespread concern. The so-called "core" refers to the chip, and the "soul" refers to the operating system. "Lack of core and less soul" is the pain of China's information industry.
Now that the United States has caught China's neck in the chip field, it is difficult to say whether it will make certain "crazy moves" in other fields in the future. Therefore, it is urgent for us to break through the neck-chipping technology as soon as possible. Next, let's talk about another area in our country that is easy to get stuck-the operating system.
Whether it is a computer or a mobile phone, the operating system is like a general manager. Every time the power is turned on, it is the first to be on duty, and then according to the user's actions, various hardware is ordered to work. However, in the field of operating systems, not only China’s pain points, most countries in the world use operating systems developed by Americans.
For example, in the PC field, according to data released by the research organization Netmarketshare, as of June this year, the overall market share of the Microsoft Windows operating system has exceeded 86%, which can be described as "unifying the world"! Apple’s Mac OS, which ranks second in market share, is less than 10%; these two US companies alone monopolize over 95% of the global operating system market share.
is basically monopolized by the two operating systems of Android and Apple iOS in terms of mobile phone operating systems. According to data from iiMedia Consulting, the market share of Android operating system on mobile phones reached 68.63% in 2019, and the share of iOS operating system was 30.99% in the same period. Together, they account for 99.62% of the global market share.
is based on the absolute superiority of the United States in the field of operating systems. If it really wants to get stuck, for all countries, it may be impossible to escape the clutches for a while. In May 2019, the United States blocked it. Google announced that it would restrict and Huawei from using its GMS ecosystem and Android system. This has had a certain impact on Huawei's overseas smartphone business.
Of course, for the situation where the operating system is constrained by others, our country will naturally not sit still. In fact, at the end of the last century, my country began the exploration of the self-developed domestic operating system . In 2002, my country included the " domestic server operating system kernel " in the national 863 project; in 2008, a major scientific and technological project was released. Continuously release new versions.
However, the development of my country's software field has also experienced a relatively long period of exploration. In the past 20 years of , my country has produced more than 20 operating system products, but due to the fragmentation of the industry, the ecology has not been formed, and there is no software adaptation. In the words of academician Ni Guangnan , resource dispersion is fatal and internal consumption is too high. Too many, difficult to accomplish.
Currently, only Apple, Microsoft and Google can develop their own operating systems and have a complete ecosystem in the world. While many foreign operating systems have failed miserably, the core problem lies in ecology. Fortunately, however, after years of exploration, China's domestic operating system has made great breakthroughs.
Now in the PC field, among domestic operating systems, Kylin System and Tongxin UOS are in a leading position. is the Kylin system first, and it is the recognized leader in the domestic operating system of Xinchuang official (government) field. In August of this year, China Electronics released the latest domestically-made operating system-Galaxy Kirin V10, which attracted much attention. At present, more than 1,000 mainstream ecological enterprises have completed more than 10,000 software and hardware product adaptations on the system . has initially won the favor and recognition of in the market.
and Tongxin UOS is developed on the basis of deepin operating system that has been developed for many years, mainly in the commercial field, and is currently the most applicable civilian domestic operating system in the Xinchuang field. Solution, at present, Tongxin Software has released six versions of , including UOS community edition , personal edition, enterprise edition , and accumulated open source community users of over 1 million , and its ecosystem is gradually improving.
It is worth mentioning that, in order to build an innovative ecosystem of China’s operating systems, Unixin Software recently joined forces with 30 companies including Huawei and Loongson to establish a "Concentric Ecological Alliance", hoping to break the monopoly of Microsoft operating system . It can be said that in the PC field, my country's self-developed operating system has begun to emerge.
At the same time, Huawei Hongmeng operating system is at the forefront of mobile phone operating systems. Data from shows that as of the beginning of September this year, Huawei's global registered developers have reached 1.8 million, and the number of global integrated HMS Core applications has reached 96,000. It can be seen that the ecological construction of the Hongmeng system has made significant progress. It should be noted that on December 16, Hongmeng OS2.0 officially released the mobile phone version. It is expected that all Huawei smartphones will be upgraded to Hongmeng 2.0 in 2021. The emergence of Hongmeng is another hope for our country to get rid of the "stuck neck" of foreign operating systems.
Of course, it is undeniable that technology giants such as Apple, Microsoft, and Google have developed operating systems for decades, and they cannot be shaken casually. However, just like the failure of Moore's Law in the chip field, the development of foreign operating system ecosystems in the past 20 years has been close to the ceiling, which also leaves an opportunity for domestic operating systems to catch up.
With the continuous development and maturity of domestic operating systems, it is not difficult to imagine that domestic replacement of operating systems will be a gradual process, eventually breaking the foreign monopoly!
