知道这条消息有几天了，再来祝贺一下。

虽然当时猜中了金山，但得到你确认消息的时候，还是有份惊讶和惊喜的。记得我们聊过不少关于这个行业择业的问题，也一直很希望你能在你喜欢的事业中有个好的起点。

坚持走下去喔～～～印象中，金山是个非常不错的公司，求伯君88年创立金山以来，kingsoft一直都是业内一个闪亮的品牌；95年成立于珠海的西山居，据称是国内最早的游戏工作室，也是连我这样不怎么玩游戏的人都清楚的事情。（最近的消息是西山居剥离出去单独成立了公司，应该是为了由于准备上市的原因，西山居似乎一直在亏损）

金山的产品虽然已不复当年DOS时代WPS一统天下的辉煌，但它比较成功地将业务拓展到了很多领域，跨越了那种早就不适应的个人作坊式、个人英雄主义的时代；反例如世纪豪杰，梁肇新先生于1998年创立，作为技术专家，梁先生的确是翘楚，但那本《编程高手箴言》却总让我感觉带着那种个人英雄主义的味道。现在世纪豪杰定位于多媒体技术提供商，往专业化方向走，（可能是由于个人偏见）我仍觉得发展方向不明朗，技术狂热型领导不了公司的长远发展，已经有很多例子证明这点。RealNetworks在流媒体领域曾可谓一家独大，照样被微软逼入绝境；近一点的，如曾经算是技术型的耕升，PCB改造都走自己的路线，所有的走线都自己设计，也是技术实力的体现，05年被卖掉，其显卡现在DIYer估计都没听说过了。

但同样地，金山也存在产品线太长，急于成功的浮躁心理，对于具体产品的经营让人感觉不放心，比如毒霸的杀毒能力。。。。。。让人怀疑。我现在电脑里用金山的东西，好像就只剩下金山词霸了，不过词霸虽然做得不错但存在不少小问题，尤其是解释的准确性上，记得在chinadaily的论坛上还有专门的帖子汇集金山词霸的错误，但这样的错误在词霸一次次的升级过程中照样存在，没有更改；游戏部门的亏损，让人感觉遗憾，西山居响亮的牌子。。。

2006年金山表示，WPS系列软件仍将是金山旗舰产品，但实际上金山明显有把资源向网络游戏转向的趋势。不提以前DOS时代的WPS了，甚至有叫板Microsoft的实力，即使当年WPS97推出的时候也曾相当火爆，但到如今，一味的模仿和word文件格式的限制让曾经的旗舰产品有如鸡肋，我想金山一方面不愿望放弃这个招牌，却抹杀了它的独创性，唉～～它能做的WORD也能做，WORD能做的它不一定能做，再加上WORD格式不可否认的统治地位――给我一个用WPS的理由。

总的说来，I’m so proud of you.^_^

英文：

Although I guessed it, I was still surprised and happy to receive your confirmation. I can recall the conversations between us on whether or not to get a job in this Industry and will always cherish the hope that u would be at a good starting point in your favorite career.

Keep going~~I have the impression that Kingsoft is quite a good company which has been a brilliant brand ever since its establishment by Qiu Bojun in 1988. Xi Shan Ju, founded in Zhuhai,1995, was said to be the earliest game studio in China, which had even been cognizant of by those who r not keen on games. (the latest news is that Xi Shan Ju has been separate from Kingsoft to form another subsidiary company due to its deficit .)

Kingsoft’s products are not in that resplendent position as they used to be in the era of DOS, however, it has expanded its operation to many fields successfully and spanned the period of outdated individual workshop or individual\ heroism; there is a\counterexample of Herosoft Inc., founded by Liang Zhaoxin in 1998. As a technologist, Mr. Liang is really outstanding, but I can still feel the individual heroism in his book 《Motto of a Master programmer》(this English name is my translation because I cannot find it.). Now Herosoft pitched its goal to be a provider of Multi-media technology, trying to be professional in this field. (Maybe due to my prejudice) I don’t think its future promising yet. Those who are crazy in technologies could not conduct their company in the long run, as evidenced by plenty of examples. RealNetworks, which used to be second to None in the field of Steam Media Technique, was forced into extremity by Microsoft. Another example in our neighborhood, Gainward with its own technologies, which took its own way even in the alteration of PCB, has been sold out in 2005, whose name would not be heard of by many current DIYers any more.

Similarly, there r also problems in Kingsoft, such as the product line being so long, fickleness to pursue success, and the carelessness in some specific products. For example, doubt on Kingsoft anti-virus. The only product remaining in my PC seems to be Kingsoft Ciba, however, there still some problems in it, especially in the validity in explanation. I can remember in chinadaily bbs there are posts focusing on mistakes in Kingsoft Ciba but feel regretful to find that mistakes remain after several updates; the deficit of game department was really regretful.

In 2006 Kingsoft has emphasize that WPS would still be the flagship products, however, some obvious evidence has actually shown the trend that Kingsoft shifts its attention to online games. Not to mention WPS in the era of DOS, which used to be powerful enough to challenge Microsoft, even WPS97 was quite famous when it came out. But nowadays, blind imitation and the limit of WORD file format make it a “Chicken ribs”. I guess Kingsoft doesn't want to give up this famous brand, however, its actions have destroyed its original creation. Alas, Word could do what WPS could, but it could not definitely do what Word could. What’s more, the file format of Word has taken an undeniable dominant position. So give me one reason to use WPS.

Over all, I’m so proud of you.^_^
