Crack "Microsoft destiny".

Tip: overconfidence, was Microsoft China company about the past self summary. But it was in the past. ".yes, and China development of China "became the new Microsoft China" motto

Just as in the 20 years old, Bill Gates did not get the graduation card of Harvard University in China for more than ten years’ development of Microsoft, up to now take a a good "report card".

But, when gates is to start up a business enterprise, Now, although gates doesn’t ignore the charm of the Chinese market, but he did have been hard to find the solution.

From have "ambassador the public relation ability" DuGuBin, to "work empress" WuShiHong, and then to the "idealist" GaoQunYao, cracking TangJun, are not in the position of President of Microsoft China sit for long. Each of them in ask yourself: the next step should do? But until Microsoft China President the cancellation of the position, a problem didn’t also can solve, only to be covered up the again just.

When he had founded Microsoft China research institute and the promotion for Microsoft vice President li kaifu of global leaving, the problem was serious ground on the gates’s desk. Followed, Microsoft greater China region WuShiXiong also CMO defected to eBay on eBay.

The outside world give this phenomenon a image of the appellation,–" Microsoft destiny, "meaning that no one can solution. But it is the real reason why?

The Chinese President not senior clerk

In talking about Microsoft office in many top have a tragedy when the real reason, Chinese academy of sciences of NiGuangNa in the Chinese of new age said, people think, no doubt, these top is very able, the problem is, they can’t achieve the desired objective of Microsoft company.

Microsoft’s Windows, Office software has a monopoly on the market, and to independent software industry development in China, we must break the monopoly, so Microsoft market share in China may not like it expected expansion down, this is the substitution can solve, unless it change their mission, which is to give up the monopoly.

And the greater China region for Microsoft and China the setting of the President, usually think that’s led to many people the cause of the conflict, NiGuangNa don’t think so, "it is the performance of its expectations and had the very big disparity."

Guangzhou, soldiers coming for enterprise management consulting company directors, the strategy director Mr. Liu buchen also have their own opinions. He told the China of new age put forward in an interview, first of all, Microsoft’s strategy in China have a serious defect. As one of the world’s most famous enterprise, Microsoft in China performance is not like other international enterprise that proud, such as Intel, although it seems to many people have more reason to Microsoft well. Microsoft China always unrest management, staff turnover, obviously, this is a Microsoft China strategy, enterprise system set out the problem, otherwise, no reason why high frequent flow for Microsoft is a normal problems.

"One thing is for certain, Microsoft for the Chinese market is a lot of judgment backward. For example, the President of the China locate a senior clerk, and China’s official is to eat the alliance." Liu buchen puts forward, the idea for an international well-known enterprise that is a backward and stale ideas not only. China, as the largest and most has the potential of the market, need to use complete enterprise management business philosophy to the management and operation, how can think "the official fix will be all right?"

NiGuangNa think, Microsoft and other foreign companies is different, it’s goal is to maintain its Windows, Office software such as already some monopoly position, the inevitable and China domestic software industry happen of sharp contradictions, and China’s existing "government procurement law, and future of the anti-monopoly law there of sharp contradictions. So with a lot of input Microsoft to do public relations, such as help place to establish a training center and so on, also threw some money to China some influential software enterprise.

Obviously, Microsoft’s true purpose and not make public relations, to do training or joint venture investment, these just to improve its image.

Microsoft China’s new motto

About Microsoft culture, NiGuangNa or appreciate.

"Microsoft is a very successful company, there are many other enterprise is the place of study. To Microsoft enterprise culture we know is not enough. There are reports that, when gates was asked: if only allow him in all the money and the most talented 20 employees to choose between words, he will choose which? Gates not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter, he said, ‘I don’t care about money!’ he was really not say it and remember that year the United States justice department ruled that Microsoft monopoly, in order to stabilize the heart after the company, Microsoft at a quarter of all profits ($2.3 billion) all take out as employees options." I don’t care about money, gates is said to "do. Like Microsoft this cherish talents, not heavy money of the enterprise culture, particularly worth many of China’s enterprise study. All in all, Microsoft is a worthy of respect enterprise, people simply against it in the field of software monopoly just."

In Microsoft entered into the mature period, people think now of the Microsoft and there had been a lot of differences, NiGuangNa agree with this point of view, he thinks, the so-called "difference" is that, now of the Microsoft slows down, the option value and not so appealing. But, to be fair, such as Microsoft can keep for a long time with the high-speed development of the enterprise, it is hard to find the second.

Overconfidence, was Microsoft China company about the past self summary. But it was in the past.

In China, Microsoft is drive before the sort of excessive confidence. It started modestly listens to the opinions of others, down, and then to do, then come back modestly listens to feedback.

Microsoft China in 2002 to the evaluation is: "no matter from investment and cooperation, market promotion or internal management are taken a series of new strategy, its core is" into ". Now of Microsoft China has begun into the Chinese software industry."

Microsoft CEO Steve ballmer also said: "from the experience of the past few years, we learned a lot of things, especially as the industry leader responsibility."

Microsoft in China strategy really change. ".yes, and China development of China "become Microsoft China motto. In addition to increase in business cooperation on the investment, Microsoft China to develop a series of social and public welfare activity. In 2002 a year, the public welfare funds donated by software and totaled RMB 3900 more than ten thousand yuan, including five hope primary schools and 4 net schools hope, and the view of the orphans and disabled persons, the extremely poor college students of donation.

"Microsoft China company to become China’s most respected enterprise, become the most trusted partner and most social responsibility of the enterprise citizen." The original Microsoft China President TangJun said, "I hope one day everyone talking about Microsoft, they feel Microsoft really is a in China, really help China’s software industry, information industry, to the user of the enterprise bring the highest value. Partners will also think the cooperation with Microsoft, which can learn something from Microsoft, and can be more big profits."

 

Yahoo’s main shareholders, mutual funds LeggMasonGrowthTrust fund manager Robert ha gus has (RobertHagstrom) said on Friday with Google or yahoo doesn’t reject Microsoft build strategic alliance, but a sale to Microsoft is the best choice of yahoo.

By the end of march this year, LeggMason hold 5.25% of the shares of yahoo, yahoo is the second largest shareholder. But hargreaves had, for investment mogul Karl Iraq (CarlIcahn) camp of yahoo launched the agency race still hold on the fence.

Hargreaves, who has said, the most ideal situation is still Microsoft and yahoo at a reasonable price. The combination of the two companies, will be in the search market has a strong competition.

Also, the U.S. antitrust management department, the federal trade commission has approved Karl Iraq could purchase a lot of camp yahoo shares. The federal trade commission has the right to buy large blocks of shares trade for review to determine whether alleged monopoly, or the presence of irregularities.

Camp in Iraq last month yahoo refused to Microsoft $47.5 billion after an offer, launched the equity agent struggle, and declared to replace yahoo’s board members.

In order to struggle in equity agent of advantage, Iraq has opened at more than dollars, which bought 59 million shares of stock and yahoo stock option, so that he has yahoo 4.3% of the shares. He previously requirements, the federal trade commission approved his most buy $2.5 billion worth of yahoo’s stock.

 

At the end of last month, Microsoft to show the world they to the PC era after the idea, that is a touch screen world, touch life came to hand. The outside world is amazing about this. However, once in apple as man-machine interface inventor’s Bret Victor (Bret Victor) for Microsoft’s idea to disagree, he doesn’t think Microsoft paint a rich imagination or innovative interactive interface, called "of the present situation of the tiny progress".

Victor in during his apple, iPad, iPod nano has and "six experiment hardware platform" user interface development concept. He thinks that, using standard, inflexible touch the screen to imagine the future product, such imagination is very limited, but it was only "glass of pictures", a "close to the surface of the false". In his own blog explains:

"Under the glass of the picture is the man-machine interface design of typical examples of rigid. Like the wrist the attack with medicine, refused to acknowledge that people can and interface better interaction. Although this is people imagine the future products love using model, but for me, admitted that the pictures’ glass ‘is the future of the interface, like black and white photos is admitted the future of photography. Obviously, this only as interim technology. And the sooner the better transition."

According to victor’s point of view, use touch the screen will let us sacrificed "rich touch", these rich tactility is we manipulate daily use to real life elements. Victor an example, the main functions of the touch the screen is let us with a finger in one interface sliding operation, however, the gesture in our daily life in operation with almost. He went on to an example:

"We when reading a book, with a pinched fingers the thickness of the pages, or feelings on both sides of the weight of the paper to judge hands on where to read books. When our fingers can feel whether two pages coincidence, if coincidence, we use a finger and friction them apart…… this is why our fingertips is body of the nerve endings of the most densely populated place. Next time you do when the sandwich can watch, you are in the process of tinkering with spices, kitchen utensils in the finger will do a lot of little affectations. We really need to accept a gesture also as make sandwiches more future interface?"

So victor your mind of what the future vision? He didn’t give a clear idea of the future, and just puts forward some hope: "from the human ability to the development of potential without looking for inspiration. And not only from yesterday’s technology, then go to the people that talk. Look at your hands with other parts, whether connected? Yes, hand to arm, shoulder and then is is the body, legs and feet, these are able to free! If we whole body can issue commands, you really think the future of man-machine interface only stay in a finger?"

All signs that Microsoft will next year into the information security market. However, information security industry giant symantec said on Tuesday, they don’t look out the security software Microsoft tied into Windows, also won’t to Microsoft antitrust litigation initiated.

11 (American time) is a special day, Microsoft day and media player software competition RealNetwork reach a settlement, and compensate pays $460 million, $300 million investment. On the same day, symantec CEO John Tompson in a San Francisco club activities also suffered a reporter similar questions. When a reporter asked once Microsoft bound security software, symantec RealNetwork is as well as Microsoft to court, Tompson said: "we will not to the European Union and the department of justice to the gate number crying… we competition among the do not need to be in court."

As is known to all, Microsoft plans to enter the security software market in the next year, when will launch antivirus, prevent Trojan, and software and services. This will keep the Microsoft to put the symantec, science and technology and the safety MaAfee trend industry "eldest brother" opponents on the table.

They even worry about whether or not you into the next "netscape".

Tompson said that security field is the enterprise and individual initiative are willing to buy one of the few business, Microsoft into the market is not unexpected.

In addition, Tompson also revealed the symantec and Microsoft’s another layer relations: the two companies years ago became partners, has now common have millions of customers. The CEO said, symantec make Windows become more security, between the two companies has been formed interdependent relationship, Microsoft also don’t want the symantec "down".

 

 

And gates different, ballmer every time visit to China will be more or less and Chinese reporters for some exchanges. Previous face Chinese reporters, ballmer with a unique "has a loud voice" that showed his confidence and tough, but always can let reporters feel his words of rigorous between. This time, in exchange, ballmer many some easy humor, also a decisive.

Ballmer as Microsoft CEO just over five years. During this period the Windows and office still are in a strong growth, at the same time the new business also started to improve. "Over the past five years, we in the Microsoft Office 2007 earnings growth in a times." Ballmer is very proud of his achievement.

Now, the challenge of coming true ballmer……. For the industry is in "middle age" of Microsoft’s future debate is differ, especially in antitrust vortex of Microsoft continue to pay the price. Ballmer bear "restart" Microsoft’s responsibility.

Ballmer in the interview repeated a word is "innovation". Innovation reflect a kind of energy, is a kind of growth of lasting power. For in the middle age Microsoft more even than understanding the value of "innovation".

In fact innovation is not only today to think about Microsoft, Microsoft began 12 years ago in the PC outside of the field test. Out of the PC, new business to give Microsoft to the future. "We in some new business areas have received no and traditional business the same position, but we always continuously follow up in. The critical success factor is innovation, have the ability and the unremitting efforts."

Fiscal year 2006 for ballmer is a very important stage. This years Microsoft almost all of the product line will have new product launches. "Next year will be Microsoft innovation and development process of very exciting step." These new product release more like Microsoft the restart button. After 12 years of exploration and attempt, these new business is time to replace the traditional business as the leading role, for Microsoft’s future contributions pure gold. The next year, the new business income and profit growth, and in the new field of market position, all is the success of the restart ballmer important symbol.

With the transformation of Microsoft’s business, Microsoft’s image on a change in shape. Former Microsoft has become arrogant humility, open, have more cooperation spirit.

Monopoly is Microsoft over the years has had to face the problem, it is also the antitrust call Microsoft attitude has made a lot of changes. July 1,, Microsoft announced that IBM to pay $775 million left over from history has settled the related anti-trust case of charges. Microsoft issues facing the antitrust charges such as, already accumulative total pay nearly $3.8 billion reparations, including payment to the sun, $1.6 billion of the microelectronics corporation to pay $536 million of the company’s weir and paid to America online company $750 million.

Antitrust trouble is far from over, the European Union for Microsoft the final decision is very important. The case of the eu seemed to have changed, Microsoft partner IAMC authorized international federation on behalf of more than 1600 small businesses said the home, support for the eu Microsoft antitrust sanctions appeal, and willing to defend in court in Microsoft support. This is mainly gloried in Microsoft’s business model. Over the years, Microsoft has been to strengthen the support of partners, Microsoft every income $1, its partners can income $8. Microsoft ecosystem ever-expanding, interests to make this the ecosystem extra stability. "Microsoft global partners to reach 750000, if our development plan to others will conflict, I want to just words of 10, 20, 30, of the house of the most home." Ballmer understand that, to keep humility, open, cooperative attitude, Microsoft is another key elements to restart.

Besides need to restart Microsoft new business, new posture, also need to new market. "We to the development of China’s market and emerging opportunities surprised. And, of course, some problems need to be solved is the Chinese market, but in the long term perspective, Microsoft is very optimistic." In the process of continuous suffer setbacks, ballmer has to learn how to market in China to display their talent.

Microsoft global vice President and CEO Chen yongzheng of greater China region took less than two years, with very low key to change Microsoft the image of China, at the same time over Microsoft China’s individual heroism era.

Microsoft as early as five or six years ago already understand, want to develop in China need to fit in, and put forward "and the Chinese software industry growing together" slogan. Chen’s two former to the continuous efforts. The practice of Chen yongzheng more pragmatic, ministries, local government, customers, partners, and universities and other aspects, precautions. Although the short term had to face pressure to earnings growth, but in his own way will Microsoft into the software industry in China "blood".

"We think Tim (Chen English name) do it well, we still have more to his expectations!!" Ballmer on Microsoft in China’s future has been the absolute confidence.

After a week, the fiscal Microsoft global sales of general meeting will be held in the United States. Microsoft sales employees all over the world will hear the ballmer mobilization. "I am in the congress will have a very passionate speech." In the end of the interview, he told reporters that he is the most important speech a year in the conference that the sale.

 

The world’s largest software maker Microsoft a senior officials have said that, in order to strengthen the software development ability in India, in March of 2006, before the Microsoft plans in India the haida rabbah and bangalore r&d center to double the number of employees.

Microsoft on India’s human resources Tess Field in a leader on management conference to part-time reporters: "our company’s goal is to expand the haida India r&d center of rabbah, strength, the r&d center is Microsoft the second has 1000 professional developers technology center."

Located in southern India haida rabbah Andhra Pradesh province, Microsoft there is research and development institutions in outside the United States, the world’s largest research and development center. In the haida rabbah r&d center, Microsoft software product development and provide support services.

Last November, Microsoft Office 2007 released this covers an area of 28 acres ($11 m hectares) research and development center, the haida rabbah is a worldwide release center, Microsoft announced that in 2002 the three years $400 million investment in India part of the program.

Field said, Microsoft also plans in bangalore, India, the first of its technology center increase of 1000 employees.

Since India can provide low wages, have IT and understanding of the employees, so to speak English in India $17.2 billion software service industry employs about one million people expected this year, from March 2006 to India’s software output and business service income will increase by 30% to 32%.

 

Microsoft plans to enter the security protection in next year, but will not be symantec to antitrust departments and complain.

Mrs.nikzad: iron gram company CEO John Thompson in 11, said: "we are not ready to the European Union and the United States justice department and complain."

Microsoft will be introduced next year safety protection software, then it will and McAfee, symantec and Trend Micro direct competition relations.

Last week, reports say the symantec will to the European Union, Microsoft will worry about complaints Microsoft Office 2007 will security software with Windows system packaged, launched.

Thompson says, in view of the user about security investment IT very big, Microsoft want to share a slice of this action is normal. But he did not think that Microsoft would put out market symantec. In contrast, symantec products than Microsoft is going to launch software more advantages. "The symantec will compete in the product, not fighting in court with his opponent," he said.

He also said that, at present, the market without a few companies can provide real help to the users of products, especially in business users, but it is one of the symantec.

In addition, Thompson also points out, symantec Microsoft is one of the important partners, the two companies have many common user. "Our work makes Windows systems become more security, so we both sides is a dependent relationship. Although Microsoft to security market is very interested in, they also hope we can succeed," he said.

 

Microsoft CEO’s visit will be in the future to normal

Microsoft CEO on November 6, ballmer China attracts many domestic media attention, but two of his day trip and not bring "explosive" news and a large investment, how much this let the media a little disappointed.

To this, Microsoft Office 2007 Professional global senior vice President, greater China region zhang acting CEO of sina science and technology in an exclusive interview, "ballmer said the visit was just a routine visit, no special things. The next similar visit will be constant, because Chinese market in Microsoft global strategy is more and more important."

Zhang told sina science and technology, ballmer November 6’s visit in six months before it has already been determined. "A lot of media attention ballmer is the purpose of the trip, actually arranged for him to visit chengdu, it is to hope he can to the west of China is a important experience and understanding, so as to further strengthen Microsoft and western regions of cooperation."

November 6,, Microsoft CEO ballmer flew to chengdu from India began a two-day trip to visit, and this is his first visit in the western city of China, China has been before in Beijing, Shanghai, guangzhou, and shenzhen city east important activities. Zhang told sina science and technology, ballmer chengdu bank is not what "the specific task, so also no and" sichuan reached what concrete cooperation intention enterprises.

But before this day, zhang led Microsoft China or the west area general manager ChenQing show and China ChengDa engineering companies have signed enterprise agreement, both parties agree to IT in the enterprise core structure optimization and the software of such aspects of cooperation.

According to understand that the cooperation Microsoft to buy genuine software not only ChengDa, will also provide IT to its core structure optimization solution, this before and domestic enterprises in Microsoft was the first time in the cooperation. Analysis, this is that Microsoft "software and service" the beginning of the pattern application.

Zhang said the and ChengDa cooperation to cash in the western Microsoft commitment and is strong and the west enterprise cooperation Microsoft start.

November 7,, ballmer in Beijing’s great hall of the people present at the annual Microsoft wave-tech ED technology conference, and in general meeting do a "dynamic IT" theme speech after speech, IT, he hurried out to go to the Microsoft and founder of computer cooperation signing ceremony. This is the only one to ballmer visit a signing ceremony. And of the state-owned assets supervision and other state organs. These are Microsoft and government departments in order to strengthen the contact and relationships, there was no "specific tasks".

In the past two years, every year a visit to ballmer, and each major gift will bring "visit", 2006, Microsoft is ballmer’s visit and the ministry of information industry signed the memorandum of cooperation. According to the agreement, in the next five years by Microsoft software, hardware technology training, communication, and other means to Chinese investment in no less than 250 million yuan, it is one of the above cooperation will support it.

For the "bland" ballmer’s visit, said zhang, "ballmer’s visit in the future will be a normal, and the next year he will also visit will, when may also won’t have what big cooperation announced. These access is routine visit."

And the routine visit different ballmer, earlier this month from Intel, EMC and cisco’s three IT, the CEO of multinational corporation in November and visit and brought the big investment, cisco CEO Chambers is promised future 3 to 5 years invested $16 billion in China. Although the number of visit on look, this is the sixth visit to the Chambers, but his fifth visit to is in three years ago, therefore, compared with other company, Microsoft CEO ballmer’s visit, and indeed frequently this year Microsoft board chairman Bill Gates had to visit China.

The analysis, and other multinational companies that CEO "suddenly" visit different situation, Microsoft CEO gifts of routine is show "bland" visit, but it reflects the Microsoft in the Chinese market, mature and stable.

 

Bill Gates "investment charity"

"When you have 100 million dollars, you will understand money but is a kind of symbolic, it means nothing." Bill Gates has said.
