The other day, Apple published a part of various OSs scheduled to be released by the end of the year at the usual developer meeting and distributed a beta version for developers, but revealed that Microsoft will make a new announcement on Windows at the same time.As you know.
After that, the installation image of Windows 11 (it seems to be a high possibility) leaked, and it has become a hot topic that the successor OS (which was scheduled to be the last Windows) has a successor OS.
However, this Windows 11, the Windows 10, which should have appeared as the "Last Windows", will not seem to be a significant update.This is because the development of WINODOWS 10X, which should have been greatly updated with Windows architecture (structure), has been announced.
Windows 11 contains some Windows 10X development results from the leaked user interface.As far as that, Microsoft's renewal plan seems to have retreated much compared to the Windows 10X concept in 2019.
The answer was shortly, but when I looked back on the history of Windows before the official announcement, and the current status of Apple's iOS/MacOS, the official announcement has become notable.
10 is a descendant of Vista with NT as the founder
It's been a long time since I had a hard time remembering, but the current Windows architecture has been established on Windows Vista and has been improved or built.
As I remembered in the comments of IT journalist Junya Suzuki, Microsoft is honest with the Windows version number, and if there is no change in the basic structure, the first digit of the internal version number has not changed.。
The current Windows founder is Windows NT 3 developed by a team led by David Catler.It was 1.… And this story is going to be long, so it will break a lot, but at this time, when you enter “ver” on the command line, it will come out..1 ".After that, the performance improved Windows NT 3.5, Windows NT 4 with further tuning and Windows 95 -Like user interface.Until 0, the ostensible version and the internal version are the same.
NT was an advanced and highly expandable design, so Microsoft will take advantage of the NT experience to expand the next generation and next -generation OS.I tried to repeat the renewal with a Canadian ski resort WHISTLER and BLACKCOMB as a code name, but I was so motivated that my development plan failed and eventually NT 4..After sophisticated 0, Windows 2000, which is lighter, supplements the user interface and lack of functions so that Windows 98 users can easily join.
Although it is named 2000, it is no different that it is a refined version of NT, and the value of "ver" is "5.It was "0".After that, Windows XP, which expanded NT technology to ordinary personal computer users, incorporates user experiences required by consumer users, and for the first time, NT became an OS for the general public, but the basic part of the OS was Windows 2000.Yes, the version value is "5.1 ".
5.0 to 5.The genealogy to 1 was a process of integrating Windows NT, which was a commercial computer OS, to integrate the functions that are essential for general consumers (mainly developed in Windows 9x genealogy).
In the meantime, the plan of "developing a successor OS with a completely new code base" has been revised, and its products are used in various forms for Microsoft products, including Windows.
Although it was a snake, the first whistler, which was rumored in the late 1990s, was said to be discontinued, but its makeup (user interface, etc.) and partial functional ideas were taken over by XP.The code name of the XP is Whistler, but it was different from what I originally heard in the interview.
There are various stories because the code name is an internal name, but it seems that I realized that Blackcomb was not easily reached, and Microsoft was released after the XP, and at the steakhouse at the middle point of Whistler with Blackcomb.I decided to stop by.That is Longhorn (not a joke, but a steak house that actually exists).
Longhorn will be developed with a completely new program code as the "OS infrastructure that can fight at the forefront of the next 10 years" inheriting Windows NT.However, the project to be rebuilt with a new code again failed and NT 5.We decided to include Longhorn's development results in 1 code and use the next Windows.Eventually, the server appears as Windows Server 2008, and for clients as Windows Vista, each has been announced as code name Longhorn.
However, the part that rewrote the OS base for Longhorn seems to have been abandoned many, so it is not clear how much Longhorn was realized by Microsoft.
And the current Windows has improved and expanded this Windows Vista.Longhorn set the goal of "supporting the next 10 years," but looking back, it was a long -life OS base that exceeded the goal.
Windows 11 is also a descendant of Vista?
By the way, when "Ver" is executed in Vista, "6."0" comes out.Windows 7 is "6.1 ", Windows 8 is" 6.2 ", Windows 8.1 is "6.It can be seen that there is little update as an OS base for the flashy naming change.As a matter of fact, Vista was a high degree of perfection, the necessary functions, and the performance of the core part was high, so the evaluation from the developers was very good.
However, because it incorporates a lot of various elements, Vista, which is particularly greedy for consumers, has a large demanding memory, and it will be unpopular from some.Based on such circumstances, 7 has been well -established, such as reviewing the service to be loaded in the early days, and has been well received by the combination of PC performance improvement and the weight reduction of the OS.The security measures have been reviewed at this point.
And Windows 8 was an ambitious project that approached the PC to the tablet market created by the iPad, but in the first place the desktop multi -window operation and the full -screen touch panel operation are incompatible, and the app that is integrated with the cloud is moved.The execution environment of the application, such as preparing a sandbox, had to be prepared separately from the past, and it seemed as if the two OSs were connected to the same computer separately.
8, 8, which was born with such various contradictions, but worked hard to make them consistent..1, however, the reputation of the user is not good, and Windows 10 appeared as the "last Windows", mainly reviewing and renewing the user interface.
By the way, "Ver" of Windows 10 is "10.In "0", it is a great world where two major versions rise at a stretch, but in fact the contents are Windows 8/8..The remake of 1 is still a Windows Vista system, except for the function expansion for tablet support.
Windows 10 has improved the user interface and is sophisticated into a new generation of user interfaces, based on familiar desktop multi -window operations.
So what about Windows 11?Speaking of which, the answer will come out soon, but probably the NT version is "11."10" but "10.I think it will be "1".And as expected, Windows 11 would be an improved version of Windows Vista.
I don't want to ridicule that "Windows 11 is not the latest generation."The era of competing by improving the OS architecture is over, and how good the functions and services that move on top are also become an element required for the latest OS.
The meaning of "our company OS exists universally"
I intend to introduce it as concisely as possible, but I look back on the history of Windows because I think it has an important side in considering the position of Windows 11, which will soon be announced.
Perhaps Microsoft was trying to create a relationship close to the current iOS/iPados and MacOS when the Windows 10X concept was announced (2019).The windows 10X concept was to stack different building blocks for each device that adapt to the device that adapt to the windows core OS, which is the core of Windows.
Apple, which has a great success on the iPhone, derives its OS, iOS, and has deepened cooperation in the form of drawing MacOS, which is originally the founder, to the iOS side, but Microsoft is a mobile device.The strategy failed.Therefore, he would have decided to expand his base from Windows for PCs.I tried to switch to a structure that could expand the application range for various purposes.There is "Next Decade (next 10 years)" that Microsoft often uses, but it must have been the foundation for nurturing the next generation.
Windows is good at PCs, servers, and cloud, so does it make sense to challenge other areas?There may be a simple question, but if the company's OS becomes universal, it will be easier to propose various devices.Apple has actually done that.
For example, this year's WWDC announced that a universal control function that enables mutual operation will be included in the iPad from a Mac without special operations.Like AirPlay and AirDrop, devices that can be called "computer" exist in various places and are connected online.In order for them to cooperate without the border, the OS side needs a device.
Apple will continue to increase the line -free cooperation of the device managed by its own OS.That's because Apple's strength.
Apple allows you to use the "latest version" OS with as many hardware as possible.The iOS 15, which is scheduled to be released at the end of this year, supports all of the iPhone 6s or later, and probably easier to update.It is very difficult to have the latest version of the OS installed on the terminal, but Apple incorporates a function to link with wearable devices and smart speakers in addition to PCs, smartphones, tablets, TV terminals, etc., and activates new tricks.Sometimes it's a very advantageous position that can be enabled.
In that sense, it is interesting to see how giving up Windows 10X changes to Microsoft's plan.
Is Windows 11 reocused on a "specialty area"?
I don't know which level of Windows 11, which seems to be a leaked development version, has been developed.Although there is a reality that is unlikely to be a complete fake, there are many elements that cannot be understood just by installing it.
So it may not make much sense to predict about Windows 11.However, what I feel from various information is that Windows 11 is likely to focus on the parts that Windows is good at in the consumer area.
What Windows 10X was aiming for was to extend the value of Windows 10 to a different device from a personal computer, but it was not used in areas other than PCs and servers (in other words, other companies are already rivals.Is there a user needs there, even if Windows is extended to the place?There is also a problem.
If the device is different, it is natural that the suitable user interface will change, and Windows 10X has been renewed with a new design with icons and buttons for operation (Windows 11 is a centering style and conventional layout.Is able to change), but they are also conscious of expanding the scope of the adaptation.Rather than reconstructing a new structure OS in a new area, there is an area that is already good at it, so maybe we should focus on it.
Personal functions and entertainment services go to smartphones and tablets and television devices derived from it, and PCs are tools for work and learning.As a result, there were times when consumers were eager to invest in personal computers.However, as a tool that performs some creative work, such as video production, photography development, processing, or music production, and creation using programming and CAD, PCs have become an important tool for young people.There is.So is the area of computer games.
It makes sense as a Microsoft strategy to enhance the genre with a high heat, which is good at Windows PCs.Of course, that doesn't mean that a new Windows announcement event will be opened.Microsoft is stronger when you look back on the past again, but when you look back on the past, when you make a completely new initiative on a zero basis。I'm looking forward to the new announcement now.
