Interview with Lei Jun: 3-year commitment to rewrite the WPS their courage unmatched


Sina Technology News, "we in the chat before you installed the software first try, it will be easier talking to some." Before the dialogue, Kingsoft CEO Lei Jun person to act as the promoters smiling, helping with the installation of Sina Technology WPS Office 2005.

At 14 o'clock on the September 12th, Kingsoft WPS Office released its latest 2005 version. Lei Jun words, this product may bring you unexpected revolution. This product Jinshan spent 3 years to re-write code, the previous 10 years of successful development and once they give up.

Lei Jun believe that more and more junk code that will increase product updates Is. The development of the Internet will bring a new definition to the software, in this context, Jinshan the courage to rewrite the code to make a decision.

Determination in the moment, not everyone understands. In the beginning, Lei Jun is also earnestly to comfort those who have developed WPS 10-year-old old program developers have the sad feeling.

He said that if Jinshan innovation, it must respect the fact that the user habits, imitation, and all the features of existing Office. And then carry out their own innovations, and then to achieve a breakthrough in the Internet environment.

Finally, in Zhuhai, after spending more than 100 people took 3 years of hard development and support of tens of millions of yuan after the completion of this with the "revolutionary" WPS Office 2005.

Lei Jun said that the decision on the SAN before and after the process:

At the recent Beijing "Fortune Forum", I told Jerry Yang demonstrates WPS Office 2005 this version. He asked me a question, "Why StarOffice are beat Microsoft, you have to fight over?" I told him that nobody dared to go inside because the rewriting software code.

WPS Office if you do not rewrite the code, still according to the original idea to do so, to achieve the same functionality and Microsoft is not possible, can only be approximate. Therefore, 3 years ago, I think, have to rewrite code. Microsoft Office has become the de facto market standard, we should fully respect the user habits can make a satisfactory alternative to the user.

But this effort is unprecedented, and we need courage is also unprecedented. Few software companies have the courage to do so, including Microsoft.

Determined to rewrite the entire code of a software is very difficult, you have to ensure that more than 100 individual finish three years to rewrite the five million lines of code. Can not finish on time? Can not do a good job? Another fellow is changing, that time came out so we can adapt to do? These are difficult, risky.

We also made some arrangements, the WPS cut R & D team of two teams in Beijing and Zhuhai. Among them, Beijing is based on the original code improvement, functional improvement, according to the way go on, WPS Office 2003, and hurricanes Edition is the group to do. Zhuhai team is responsible for rewriting.

Development process, Jinshan also comply with many rules, intellectual property issues very carefully, not only to rewrite all the code, to ensure no one team from Microsoft, a Microsoft lawyer also retrieve all the patents registered in China. Finally this process took three years and a month.

Now individual users can go online for free download WPS Office 2005 Personal Edition, download the package only 15.4M, which includes text, spreadsheet, presentation, and all other functions. First released last year, the government version of WPS Office 2005, with a year to actually use, but also conducted large-scale enterprise applications and user testing of the perfect.

Its advantage is obvious. Jinshan on the government procurement market can not worry about how much this release is to inform you that the true competitiveness of this product. We may not realize this will lead to revolution.

It also has a lot of innovation inside the first innovation is the design for the network operating system. The future of the Internet may not process a, and now the Internet news, as proceedings are hyperlinks, and only one interface only.

One trend is the future of the Internet, the Internet to do the hard disk, hard disk so the cache. I'm sure the next 3,5 years is Fast access bandwidth. The concept of the future will be no software that is running the background. Direct calls to come out when Internet bandwidth is infinite, then users do not install any programs, opened the machine, a few seconds to download to complete. WPS is designed for this.

In the future, WPS Office if any problems or have any updates, the updates in the background. Users simply do not feel in front. He also felt he was not the software, future software will have been as common as table and chairs had.

The second step is to support Linux, but also consider the high efficiency. If you support Linux, then write with JAVA became, but felt a little slow the use of JAVA, so using the C language. This was also under a very large commitment.

Jinshan hope that in 3 months can be downloaded 500 million copies. Market, mainly for government and enterprise market sales.

But our main effort will be spent on overseas market development. Jinshan in the Japanese market earlier this year set up a subsidiary in early tomorrow, I will go to Japan, the Japanese release Duba. Online games in Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and other markets have also made good. In overseas markets, WPS will take great effort to do the same.
