Software Evolution
As Internet connections become more permanent with broadband
access, software will be able to evolve into a more efficient
and personalized medium. Currently, most software run from our
hard drives and require installations that alter our system
configurations, many times slowing down our computers. Because
software occupies space and processing power, there is a limited
amount of software that can run in our PCs. On the business
side, current software systems require many companies to produce
a system of distribution (Compac Discs), customer support, and
is usually not compatible with all customers, thus limiting its
customer base further.
A software evolution is ocurring and it is going to benefit both
customers and businesses immensly. Software will no longer come
as a packet that needs to be installed on a PC, but rather it
will be completely Web based. Web based software will become the
default way of reaching customers. Customers will have
advantages such as, using unlimited amount of software, using
applications regardless of where the person is or which computer
he/she is using, software can be personalized and upgraded to
meet specific needs to each individual. Businesses will be able
to, reduce costs, reach a larger customer pool, taylor its
software to diverse markets, repair bugs more rapidly and
easily, understand its customer and the way they use their
software, etc.
In order for this software revolution to occur in whole, there
needs to be a central point. Like Miscrosoft's DOS in the 80's,
which became
the standard choice of operating system to
centralize and organize our computer operations, there needs to
be an online operating system. As of now, Microsoft has built an
empire because of its vision and their dominance in the OS
market. However, now there is a window of opportunity to take a
large chunk of that empire and possibly eliminate Microsoft's
monopoly of the Operating System. While there are many companies
and organizations (Apple, Linux, Lindows) out there trying to
take a bite out of Microsoft by competing on the same turf, PC
users are accostumed to Windows and will most likely not switch.
The opportunity to eliminate this monopoly is to create an
Online Operating System. PC users will inevitably move
completely online.
An Online Operating System will be the central point of every
user in the future. There are online companies who have an
inside advantage to this, such as Yahoo!, Google, and AOL, but
it can be anyone's medal, even to a fairly unknown competitor,
as was Microsoft when they introduced DOS to the world. In this
new concept of Operating System, there can be a larger space of
diversity and can be shared by more companies, unlike the
current status.
