On the evening of May 13th, I was thinking about what to write. I decided to look for inspiration online.
Farewell to the Rising Star of Technology#
For some reason, I found this page about cloud software on Baidu and took a look. I've been using it since it came out, but after 10 years, it became something I paid attention to occasionally and gradually forgot about. Sometimes I would visit its official website, but I never expected to see the following page today. It was posted on March 17, 2014! You probably wouldn't have noticed this page! The official website hid it in another page and didn't display it on the homepage! Damn it!
Can you believe it? They hid it and still had an ad for an assistant that no one uses at the top! This is outrageous! This is frustrating!
Introduction#
What is Cloud?
Cloud is a small software, but also a big platform. After installing Cloud, you no longer need to install other software - just click, download, and use directly. And through a virtualized runtime environment, it can keep the system clean and secure for a long time, and maintain the software's security isolation from the system - similar to a sandbox. In short, Cloud = application software without installation/portability in a secure environment. Reminder: The word "Cloud" in the Cloud Software platform does not refer to the currently popular "cloud computing". Cloud is software based on application virtualization technology. It has similarities with VMware ThinApp, Symantec SVS, and Microsoft APP-V in terms of technology, but these three are services provided to the enterprise market, while Cloud is a free software for ordinary users.
