A major first step in the development of an open systems environment is standardization on an Operating system around which the other elements of the open systems platform will be developed. The focal Operating system has been Unix, a proprietary operating system of at&t.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses economic principles that influence competition in the computer industry, with a specific focus on the trend towards open systems. It provides a useful frame of reference rooted in real-world examples, namely protocol standards for networking, applications, and peripherals. The author argues that open systems will reduce the power of large vendors to hold customers locked into their exclusive systems and limit their ability to charge inflated prices. The likely impact of this transition is a more competitive, less expensive landscape, and greater innovation. The book not only provides crucial background for understanding the computer industry but also offers a thought-provoking look at the economics of standardization.
