HuaweiHarmonyOSThe system has had many successes since its inception and has become a unified system that can be applied to a wide range of devices, including:Mobile phones, flat panels, TVs, watches, Internet of Things, cars, etc. Especially since the launch of HarmonyOS 2After version 0, the number of users covered has exceeded 700 millionMobile phonesThe system market share ranks third in the world. In the Chinese market,HuaweiHarmonyOShas become the second largestOperating system, surpassing the market share of Apple's iOS. Although, thoughHuaweiHarmonyOSIt is rapidly evolving in various fields, but it is not an easy task to replace Windows in the PC field.
1.UsersDegrees of freedomHigh: Compared toMobile phones, the user in the PCDegrees of freedomHigher. Mobile phonesOnce the system is built into the factory, it is basically impossible to replace it until it is scrapped. PC users are free to choose the system, and if they are not satisfied with Windows, they can switch to UOSKirinsystem, etc. Similarly, the manufacturer has built-in UOS, and users who are not satisfied can also choose to switch back to Windows. So, for PC,HuaweiHarmonyOSThe promotion effect of the system in terms of factory built-in or OTA upgrade is limited, and at most some users are bound in the early stage, and it is not very attractive.
2.Limited market share: compared toMobile phonesmarket,HuaweiIn onePeople computerThe share of the segment is small, and the shipment volume is limited. The annual domestic PC shipment is about 4000-50 million unitsHuaweiIt currently has a market share of about 10%, or about 5 million units. This is not decisive compared to the current number of computer systems sold and the number of users owned.
3.Lack of ecological support: The success of any system requires strong ecological support, ieappsupport. There's no doubt that Windows has a very strong ecosystem right now. And whereasHarmonyOSsystem, requiredappThe developer has redeveloped the application to adapt to this system. However, in the PC world, this is almost unlikely. withMobile phonesDifferent,Mobile phonesappDevelopers can profit from this and have an incentive to develop the right app. In contrast, most of the PC fieldSoftwareUsers are free to use, rightappDevelopers, there is no motivation forHarmonyOSSystem developmentA new app. For some professional class toolsSoftwareAs far as manufacturers are concerned, even if there are some paying users, it is difficult to get themHarmonyOSThe number of users of the system is specially developed to adaptSoftware。In addition, hardware manufacturers are required to:HarmonyOSSystem developmentThere are also difficulties with specific drivers, and Linux is currently developing well around the world, and there are not many vendors willing to support this system. Similarly, game developers are faced with a similar situation, where having a Windows version is sufficient, and it is difficult to develop a separate adaptation for other systems.
In general, although we may harbor such dreams, hopesHuaweiHarmonyOSThe system can replace Windows and allow more people to use the system independently developed in China. However, the reality is very complex. withMobile phonesIn comparison, the ecosystem in the PC field is much larger and difficult to conquer. PC usersDegrees of freedomFactors such as high, relatively small market share, and lack of ecological support all make the PC versionHarmonyOSIt is almost impossible for the system to replace Windows.
In summary,HuaweiHarmonyOSIt is almost impossible for the system to replace Windows. However, this does not hinderHuaweiHarmonyOSContinue to grow and develop in other areas and bring a better user experience to users. withHuaweiContinuous innovation and development of technology, I believeHarmonyOSThe system will play a greater potential in the future and bring more surprises and convenience to users. After all, innovation is never-ending, and only by constantly innovating can we compete in the fierce competitionTechnologyRemain competitive in the market.
