很高兴能在这里,让我有机会分享一些我的兴奋与你在一起的感觉。
我19岁的时候,我忽然意识到,如果我想要成为第一个做一个软件公司对这些新廉价电脑,我要让我的朋友们一起,开始吧,因此微软成为第一个软件公司做这些新机器。我们的愿景是一个电脑在每一张办公桌和每一个家庭。在过去的20年中,这种洞见就是当然成为现实。如果我们不得不改变它的今天,我们只会增加,我们现在也想有一台电脑在每个人的口袋里,每一个汽车——其他地方我们没有想到,当我们第一次开始做的发展。我相信软件是关键元素的力量真的解锁所有这些技术、的理念,使它容易找到信息,容易产生信息,容易与别人交流。软件的焦点,因此软件将成为世界上增长最快的行业,将创建许多的伟大的工作。当然在这里,在中国的机会对成千上万的伟大的工作应该是很刺激,因为有一个全球不足方面的电脑技巧。
个人计算机革命开始在1975年,那是当我从学校毕业,开始了微软。最近22年实在是惊人的,每一个预测我们已经取得了关于改进都成真。往前看,这样的速度创新是不会放慢,事实上如果有什么是加快步伐。非常高的速度就像300兆赫Pentiums处理器,或新64位处理器,我们已发展的Windows NT,令人难以置信的存储容量,这将让我们店,不只是数据,而且数字视频,把屏幕技术来创建一个tablet-like装置,将足够阅读和书写;先进的图形,现在能够将多台计算机连接到以非常高的速度。
都是透过网际网路,所有这些机器可以连接在一起。和这些标准,这些标准的提高,是非常重要的。有些人喜欢想着该怎么计算机工业比较到其它行业。我已经表明之前一般汽车的费用是1980年在美国,和那起来大约从8000年到19000年的今天,同样的谷物价格上升了。如何,相较于个人电脑吗?如果同一型号随访pc,你可以买到汽车和麦片27美分的时间还不到一分,所以没有其他地区的经济
这种快速的进步,人们只是不习惯它。你几乎要告诉人们,“你会怎么做,如果网络计算能力是免费的”,因为那是我们能提供所有这些改进。
微软公司的愿景的计算是全球性的计算。我们看见个人计算机连接到英特网让世界一个比较小的地方,这是积极的在许多方面:建立人与人之间的理解,分享研究的关键科学领域,包括医药,让世界贸易工作得很好。蚂蚁!因特网是驾驶这了。微软公司建立了业务遍布世界各地,而且我们都很满意我们的成功是有居住在中国。我们正在做大量的软件开发产品时,在这里,而且他们将会继续增长,其关键是对我们有非常非常高质量的软件,我们已经幸运地雇用大量的人从这所大学。说真的,我想说的是球队的核心已经放在一起来,我从这里列举了一些员工的人在这里,我们当然希望将来这一列表将会大幅上升,品质工作仍在继续上升。
微软坚信做了大量的研究工作,因为今天的软件明天不够用。它的未来很长一段路,如图形界面,应用,以及我们的方式处理语言方面的问题,这是比这一年以前的事了。互联网在软件建设走过了一条长长的路。一些更有雄心的东西,像教学计算机说话或听或看,还需要大量的软件工作,还没有完成,所以我们一直在研发投入,建立许多的研究地点,将增加在未来的几年。一个进步是教学的计算机捡来的句子和理解他们,而不只是认为他们的一系列字符。
这只是给你一个瞥见一个地区预计使个人电脑真的消失进入环境后,在一个富有的方式连接起来。明天的电脑将会十分不同于我们所拥有的今天,明天的互联网将远比今天所拥有的一切,但它将超越这个技术,我们现在所拥有的。
很明显,我们之所以称这是信息时代,信息时代的能力可以让人们可以到达出而且得到他们所需要的一切信息,无论是商业,学习,还是娱乐信息。微软在一个非常幸运的位置感到帮助驾驶这些东西,我们的关键是工作与其它软件公司,这样他们可以建立其他应用系统顶部的。每个行业都需要大量的软件工作,所以我谈论软件行业制造这么多伟大的工作在新的岁月。我认为你选了个好领域,我们期待着和您一起工作。谢谢你。
原文:It's great to be here and have a chance to share some of my excitement with you.
I was 19 when I realized that if I wanted to be the first to do a software company for these new cheap computers, I needed to get my friends together and start right away, so Microsoft became the first company doing software for these new machines. Our vision was a computer on every desk and in every home. In the last 20 years, that vision is certainly becoming a reality. If we had to change it today, we would simply add that now we also want to have a computer in every pocket, every car - many other places that we had not thought about when we first started doing development. I believe software is the key element that really unlocks the power of all this technology, and the idea of making it easy to find information, easy to create information, easy to communicate with other people. Software is at the center of that, and so software will be the fastest growing industry in the world and one that will create lots and lots of great jobs. Certainly here in China the opportunity for hundreds of thousands of great jobs should be very exciting because there is a global shortage in terms of computer skills.
The personal computer revolution got started in 1975, that's when I left college and started Microsoft. These last 22 years have really been amazing, every prediction we've made about improvements have all come true. As we look ahead, that pace of innovation is not slowing down, in fact if anything it's speeding up. Very high speed processors like 300 MHz Pentiums, or new 64-bit processors that we're already developing Windows NT for; incredible storage capacity, which will let us store, not just data, but also digital video as well, treat screen technology to create a tablet-like device that would be good enough for reading and writing; advanced graphics and now the ability to connect computers together at very high speed.
The Internet is the way that all these machines can be connected together. And those standards, and the improvement of those standards, is very very important. Some people like to think about how the computer industry compares to other industries. I've shown before what the cost of the typical car was in 1980 in the US, and that rose up to be about from 8,000 to 19,000 today, and likewise cereal has increased in price. How does that compare to PCs? If the same model was followed for PCs, you can buy car for 27 cents and cereal for less than one cent, so there's no other area of the economy
that has this rapid improvement, and people just aren't used to it. You almost have to tell people, "What would you do if Internet computing power was free," because that's what we'll be able to deliver with all these improvements.
Microsoft's vision of computing is global computing. We see PCs connected to the Internet making the world a smaller place, and that's positive in so many ways: to build understanding between people, to share research in key science areas, including medicine, to allow world commerce to work very well. Ant! the Internet is driving this already. Microsoft has set up operations around the world, and we are very pleased with the success we're having here in China. We are doing significant software development on products here, and that will continue to increase, and key for us is having very very high quality software people, and we've been lucky to hire a great number of people from this university. Really I'd say that the core of the teams we've put together have come from here, and I've listed some of those employees here, and we certainly hope that in the future this list will increase dramatically, and the quality of our work continues to rise.
Microsoft believes in doing a lot of research because the software of today is not adequate for tomorrow. It's come a long way, such as the graphics interface, the application, and the way we deal with linguistics; it's much better than it was a year ago. Building the Internet into the software has come a long way. Some of the more ambitious things, like teaching the computer to speak or listen or see, still require a lot of software work that's not yet done, and so we've been investing in research, and building the number of research locations, which will be increasing in the years ahead. One advance is teaching the computer to pick up sentences and understand them, and not just think of them as a series of characters.
That just gives you a glimpse of one area that is expected to make the personal computer really disappear into the environment and connect up in a rich way. Tomorrow's PC will be quite different from what we have today, tomorrow's Internet will be much better than what we have today, but it will all evolve out of this technology that we have right now.
It's clear that the reason we refer to this as the information age is that the capabilities available in the information age will let people reach out and get what they need, whether it's business, learning, or for entertainment. Microsoft feels in a very lucky position to be helping to drive these things, and the key for us is working with other software companies so that they can build other applications on top of the system. Every industry needs a lot of software work there, and so I talk about the software industry creating so many great jobs in the years ahead. I think you picked a great field to be in, and we look forward to working with you. Thank you.
