How good is Huawei's Hongmeng system, everyone knows very well, from the perspective of supported devices, this is a unified system, which can be used for mobile phones, tablets, TVs, watches, Internet of Things, cars, PCs and other products.
And from the user's point of view, since the launch of HarmonyOS 2Version 0, after being used in mobile phones, has covered more than 700 million users, of which it is already the third largest operating system in the world from the perspective of mobile phone systems.
In the Chinese market, Huawei Hongmeng is already the second largest operating system, and its share in the new market exceeds Apple's iOS.
But before, Huawei Hongmeng still has one last piece of territory that has not been involved, that is, the PC version, and according to Wang Chenglu's statement, as well as many ** reports, the PC version of Hongmeng will appear in 2024.
So many people think that the next Huawei Hongmeng system will shine in the PC field, replace Windows, and let Chinese use Chinese's own system.
Of course, this idea is very beautiful and everyone's wish, but from the actual situation, the PC version of the HarmonyOS system is almost impossible to replace Windows.
Unlike mobile phones, the PC version of the system, the user's degree of freedom is very high, after the mobile phone has a built-in system in the factory, it is basically impossible to replace it, until it is scrapped, it is this system.
But PC, users can change the system freely, Windows is not happy, change UOS, change the Kirin system, you can do it. In the same way, the manufacturer has built-in UOS, and users are unhappy, so it is okay to change to Windows.
Therefore, the set in the mobile phone, factory built-in, or OTA upgrade, the effect will not be too useful, at most in the early stage of some users, can not bind users.
Secondly, Huawei's share in computers is still not too large, and at the same time, the shipment volume is also small, unlike mobile phones, which are tens of millions of units per year, and then they can go straight to 100 million units.
The annual domestic shipment of computer products is only 40 million to 50 million units, and Huawei's current share is about 10%, that is, about 5 million units.
The third time, any system, needs the support of the ecology, that is, the support of the app, how strong the current Windows ecology is, this is clear to everyone.
So under the Hongmeng system, this app manufacturer is needed to redevelop a set of all of them, which is basically impossible in the PC field, unlike the mobile phone field, because it is the era of mobile Internet, app manufacturers can make a lot of money from it, and they have the motivation to develop.
But in the PC field, everyone uses software, and they are basically prostituting for nothing, so this app manufacturer is not interested in developing a set of Hongmeng version.
As for the software that is not prostituted in vain, most of them are some professional tool software, and it is difficult for the manufacturers of these software to develop a set of software for the sake of this number of users of the Hongmeng system.
There are also some hardware manufacturers,To let it develop a set of drivers for Hongmeng alone,It is estimated that it is more difficult,Now Linux globalization,Under the situation that the development is not bad,Many manufacturers are lazy to support。
The same is true for products in the game industry, it is enough to have a Windows version, it is difficult to develop a version for other systems, after all, there are so many users of Linux, it is still global, and everyone ignores it.
Therefore, the means that can be used on mobile phones cannot be used in computer systems, and if they can be used, domestic Linux systems such as UOS and Kirin software have already been successful.
So I think that although we have dreams and hope that the HarmonyOS system will replace Windows, to be honest, this is almost impossible to achieve, and the computer ecosystem is far more complex and difficult to do than the mobile phone.
