Kwakukholelwa ukuba i-Surface Phone inokubetha imarike, i-smartphone kunye Windows 10. Nangona kunjalo, ayizange ifike, kwaye iMicrosoft yamemezela ukuba ayiyi kuqalisa ezinye iifowuni kwimarike. Nangona kunjalo, kubonakala ngathi ngoku iMicrosoft inokuvavanya i-smartphone entsha, eya kuthi ifike neWindows njengenkqubo yokusebenza. Imbangi entsha ye-Android.
Ifowuni entsha kaMicrosoft
Okwangoku kukho idatha encinci kakhulu kwi-smartphone yeMicrosoft. Enyanisweni, idatha embalwa iqinisekisa ukuba ifowuni ayiyi kuba ne-Android njengenkqubo yokusebenza. Ngexesha elidlulileyo kwakusithiwa iMicrosoft inokuphehlelela iselfowuni nge-Android, kodwa ayizukuba njalo. Ngapha koko, ayisayi kuba yinguqulelo ye Windows 10 esebenza kwii-smartphones. Iya kuba yinto eyahlukileyo yeWindows elungiselelwe ii-smartphones. Oko kukuthi, ukuba Windows 10 yayikuphela kwenkqubo yokusebenza yeekhompyuter kunye nee-smartphones azisayi kuba njalo, nokuba iMicrosoft isungula i-smartphone yayo entsha.
Ngendlela, oku kusikhokelela ekubeni sigqibe ekubeni ingaba isicwangciso sokuba ne-Android kunye ne-Chrome OS njengeenkqubo ezimbini ezahlukeneyo zokusebenza zinokuba lolona khetho lungcono. Nangona kukho intetho ye-Google Fuchsia njengenkqubo entsha yokusebenza eya kuthatha indawo ye-Android kwaye iya kuba yezombini iifowuni kunye neekhompyutheni, inyaniso kukuba kuye kwathiwa ayiyi kufika ngokukhawuleza, ukuba kunjalo. Kwaye okwangoku, akubonakali ngathi yiprojekthi yokwenyani ukuthatha indawo kwi-Android.
Nangona kunjalo, ukuba iselula yeMicrosoft entsha iyafika, kuya kuba nzima kakhulu ukuba ikhuphisane nee-smartphones kwimarike, kuba zombini iifowuni eziphathwayo ze-Android kunye neefowuni ze-Apple eziza kufika zikumgangatho ophezulu. Nangona kunjalo, ukufika kwefowuni yeMicrosoft ene-Android njengenkqubo yokusebenza iya kuba nomdla.
"Zombini iifowuni ze-Android kunye neefowuni ze-Apple ezingekafiki zikumgangatho ophezulu"
Kwihardware okanye kwisoftware? Ngenxa yokuba inxalenye elula yi-hardware.
Into enzima ayiyikukhupha i-Android endleleni, into enzima kukwenza imveliso eyenza imarike entsha ngaphandle kwe-monopoly engenakufikeleleka ye-Android kunye ne-iOS. Oku kuthetha ukwenza izinto ezintsha ngaphezu kokuba nawuphi na umntu omnye akwazi ukwenza ngaphakathi kwesoftware. Akusekho malunga nokubona ukuba ngubani obeka amandla amaninzi okanye iitrinkethi kwi-casing.
Eyona nto imbi kakhulu kukuba iMicrosoft iFUNA ukungena kwimarike yesixhobo esiphathwayo, kuba ingeyonxalenye yesicwangciso sayo esithi "Cloud first, Mobile first", kodwa ngaphandle kwehardware, iMicrosoft njengenkampani ayizukufika kude kakhulu. Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo imarike yePC ayiqaqambi njengemarike yeselula.
