Good morning. It's a great pleasure to be here. Today is a major milestone for Microsoft as our first Professional Developers Conference here in China. The key partnerships we build with software developers around the world are central not only to the success of Windows but also to realize the possibility that PC technology provides. It's through applications of every variety that businesses will be using the personal computer as the tool of the Information Age.
It's rather amazing how fast this innovation is moving. Even to keep the like of myself who are deeply involved in the industry to go and see the improvement and every element that are taking place on a yearly basis is quite fantastic. Of course one of the driving factors of this business is the exponential increase in processor performance. There is no doubt that the magic of chip capability has delivered through the advance in microprocessor allows us to think of application which never would have been possible before.
The PC industry is one of the few industries that can deliver lower price equipment at the same time as improving the capabilities. The storage systems are now delivering Gigabyte of storage as the standard capability. Over 80 million of PCs are being sold a year. And the server market, the higher performance machines that these PCs networked with, are the fastest growing part of this business. The performance of those servers is increasing not only because the individual processors are faster, but also because we are using multiple-processor machines, so called SMP designs and clustering nodes together...
Great chips, systems developers, partners who are sponsoring this event, making this all possible. There is an incredible opportunity for developers. The applications that are written today will sell to an even larger base of machines out in the market. There is a lot that we're doing to increase the work of good developers-make sure they understand where the PC is going and how tools can help them now, more and more marketing type of activities making sure they got in with the customers. This is something that we are going to increase year after year.
The overall DNS message is one about helping developers seize that opportunity by bringing together the different architectures, making things automatic and allowing this to be done in an evolutionary fashion. I think it's a fantastic time to be developer and we appreciate being here and look forward to the opportunity to work with you more.
Thank you.
早晨好。非常高興與大家共聚一堂。在這里舉行的微軟中國第一屆專業(yè)開發(fā)人員大會,是微軟公司的一個重要里程碑。我們與全球軟件開發(fā)人員建立的伙伴關(guān)系不僅是促成了Windows成功的關(guān)鍵,而且使PC技術(shù)提供的可能性成為現(xiàn)實。應(yīng)用程序貫穿各個領(lǐng)域,公司將使用個人計算機作為信息時代的工具。
這一變革的速度之快,令人眼花繚亂。即使象我這樣深入?yún)⑴c其中的人員,看到在一年基礎(chǔ)上發(fā)生的如此巨大的進步預(yù)測一年后所發(fā)生的變化也是異想天開。當(dāng)然,處理器性能的巨大提高是這一商務(wù)領(lǐng)域的一個推動因素。毫無疑問,芯片通過微處理器的進步所提供的強大功能允許我們考慮過去根本沒有可能的應(yīng)用程序。
PC行業(yè)是能夠提供價格更低的設(shè)備并同時改進功能性的少數(shù)幾個行業(yè)之一。存儲系統(tǒng)提供lGB存儲的標準功能。全球每年售出8000多萬臺PC。在服務(wù)器市場中,令這些PC聯(lián)網(wǎng)的性能更高的機器是發(fā)展最快的部分。這些服務(wù)器的性能不斷提高,不僅是因為單一處理器速度更快,還因為我們使用多處理器機器,也就是被稱為SMP設(shè)計并實現(xiàn)節(jié)點的集群化。……
優(yōu)異的芯片、系統(tǒng)開發(fā)商以及資助這一活動的合作伙伴將使所有這些成為可能。這是開發(fā)人員的一次極好機會。今天編寫的應(yīng)用程序?qū)⒃谑袌錾箱N售更多數(shù)量的機器。我們正在做許多工作來增加好的開發(fā)人員的工作,確保他們理解PC的走向、目前工具如何為他們提供幫助以及可使他們贏得客戶的越來越多的促銷活動類型。這就是我們年復(fù)一年所增加的東西。
整個DNS信息的目的就是通過結(jié)合不同的體系結(jié)構(gòu)、實現(xiàn)任務(wù)自動化以及允許以一種發(fā)展的方式完成這一工作,幫助開發(fā)人員抓住機會。我認為,這是一個開發(fā)人員的時代,感謝您的光臨并希望有機會與您進行更多的合作。
謝謝!
