Looking at Zhang Xuanlong and the three of them, who frowned because of a problem with installing software, and their expressions changed greatly, Fang Chen was both helpless and wanted to laugh.

If you haven't experienced this era, you will definitely not understand why Microsoft's integration of office software into the operating system can be so powerful, which can make Zhang Xuanlong, Qiu Bojun, Lei Jun, and other real bigwigs who have created many legends in their previous lives all talk about it.

But that's just the way it is.

At this time, the popularity of the country is basically 286 computers, even 386 computers can be said to be few, but even if it is a 386 computer, the size of the hard disk on it generally does not exceed 20MB, and the memory is generally 16GB starts, and the hard disk is at least 3T or so in later generations, the 20MB hard disk is simply a joke, and even a picture with a high resolution can not be put down.

Therefore, a 20MB hard disk needs to be installed with an operating system, and it is still necessary to have an operating system with a size of no more than 5MB such as MS-DOS, because even the most basic and primitive Windows operating system like Windows 3.0 usually requires about 100MB of space.

Then install some office software, as well as professional software such as AutoCAD software, and some large-scale games, such as the first-person shooter "Doom", which will not be released in eight months, basically there is not much space.

Like what, many people's childhood memories of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I" were already a great large-scale game at that time, even if it took up space, the smallest DOS system version was 16MB.

Even "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I" was too large, and when it was released in Wanwan, some of the content was deleted due to insufficient disk capacity.

That is to say, install a system, and then install "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and the hard disk will not have any space.

With hard disk space so scarce, how can anyone have the luxury of installing two office software with the same function in their own computer at the same time.

This is also the reason why computer users at this time will carry a bunch of floppy disks at every turn, there are too many software that cannot be installed in the hard disk of the computer itself, and the size of a floppy disk is usually only 1.2MB.

This is also the reason why the drive letter of modern computers is from C drive, A disk and B drive are both floppy drive letters, but one is 5.25 inches, and the other is 3.5 inches.

And these days, the distribution and installation of software is also a big trouble.

In the previous life, if you want to download a software, as long as you search for it in Baidu, not only the official website will come out instantly, but there are also a lot of download stations in addition to it, as well as network disks that can be downloaded.

At this time, if you want to install a software, including games, operating systems, etc., you can only use a floppy disk, or a storage medium such as a CD-ROM.

That is to say, if you want to install a software, you need to run to the computer city first, and then find the little brother who sells the disk, spend ten yuan, and you can get eight yuan for the cooked one, buy a pirated disk, and then install it on your own computer.

If you are buying a genuine disk, if there is a local dealer, you must repeat the above steps, or go to the computer city.

It's just that the price will rise to as little as one or two hundred, and as much as one or two thousand.

Like WPS, which can directly increase productivity, the price of genuine disks is 2200 yuan, which is scary.

By the way, you can also order by mail from a software company such as Kingsoft.

All in all, it's very difficult to install a software at this point, and if it goes well, it will take hours to install the software on your computer.

However, the most important thing is that only by buying genuine software can Kingsoft receive the money.

But because the genuine version is more expensive than the pirated version, not to mention, the purchase experience is also extremely poor, in addition to the high sense of morality, like a saint-like true love fan, basically few people are willing to buy the genuine, and it is difficult for a hundred users to have a person willing to buy the genuine.

In addition, today's people are not like the people of later generations, who have experienced the baptism of various pits and abductions, and their brains are much smarter, and today's users are basically what others give, they use what others tell them, and they think what is good, and it will be bad if they speak in any authoritative person.

It's like today's TV commercials, basically whatever is said on TV, they believe it, rush to buy it, and buy it like crazy.

Even Fang Chen felt that why it was so easy for those middle-aged and elderly people in later generations to believe that those articles such as bullshit health, chicken soup for the soul, and life mottos in WeChat, including rumors, were a bunch of them when they were forwarded, and they also had something to do with this.

It is precisely this kind of reason that determines that once Microsoft integrates its own office software into the system, it will block and kill God, and Buddha will block and kill Buddha, and no one can stop and no one can stop it.

"Fang Dong, I think what you said is right, but Microsoft's MS-DOS is not the only operating system in China, and I believe that our WPS can also win a place for itself to survive in other computer operating systems. Lei Jun suddenly said with a somewhat excited face.

But after saying this, Lei Jun's heart suddenly fluttered violently, and even many fine beads of sweat couldn't help but appear on his forehead.

He was a little overstepping, and he actually spoke to a big man like Fang Chen in such a tone.

As the manager of Jinshan Yanjing Development Company, he has been in Yanjing for the past two years, and he knows better than Zhang Xuanlong and Qiu Bojun what kind of power Fang Chen has, what kind of relationship network he has behind it, and knows what kind of fate Jinshan will fall into if he offends Fang Chen.

After all, you must know that Lingnan is Fang Chen's starting place, and there are few people up and down Lingnan who have not dealt with Xiaobawang.

Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to apply to fly back to Xiangzhou from Yanjing as soon as he knew that Fang Chen was coming to the company, because he was afraid that Zhang Dong and Qiu Dong would not know how powerful Fang Chen was.

After all, one of the two is from Xiangjiang, and he doesn't know so much about the mainland, and he doesn't care so much, and the other is a downright standard technical maniac who is not good at dealing with people.

I can only hope that Fang Chen is a person who does not care about things and has a small belly, Lei Jun secretly prayed in his heart.

Zhang Xuanlong and Qiu Bojun's eyes couldn't help but light up, and they didn't know how many heads they nodded in their hearts.

They admit that they certainly can't compete with Microsoft's office software on Microsoft's turf, but there are so many operating systems in computer operating systems: PC-DOS, DR-DOS, Free-DOS, PTS-DOS, ROM-DOS, and JM-OS.

Hearing this, the corners of Fang Chen's mouth pulled out a trace of helplessness, and after being silent for a few seconds, he said: "Indeed, in the DOS system, Microsoft is not really a monopoly, and users have other choices, but let me ask you, do you agree that the Windows operating system is the general trend of the future computer operating system?"

As soon as Fang Chen's words came out, Lei Jun wanted to speak and stopped, glanced at the two chairmen next to him, and saw that they showed encouragement, Lei Jun suppressed the tension in his heart and continued to say to Fang Chen: " Fang Dong, I admit that the Windows operating system is very good, but it does not mean that the DOS operating system will really be useless in the future, and even if the Windows operating system is really the general trend of the future, it may not be that there are no other Windows operating systems, and then the Windows operating system will fall into the current DOS operating system such a situation of hegemony. ”

Microsoft's Windows results are naturally very remarkable, otherwise, it would not have sold nearly 10 million copies in just two years, especially Windows 3.1, which was just released last year, sold 1 million copies in two months, and Microsoft's stock price has risen a lot.

Fang Chen sneered, glanced at Lei Jun deeply, and said unceremoniously: "Now that you count, Windows 3.0 has been released for more than two years, have you seen that software company launch an operating system that can be on par with Windows?"

Hearing this, Lei Jun's face instantly turned pale, Fang Chen's words were like a sharp arrow piercing into his heart, he wanted to refute, but racked his brains, searched his intestines, and couldn't find half a sentence to refute Fang Chen.

Compared to Microsoft, those operating system software companies really don't have much to offer.

Moreover, in the end, he still hated Fang Chen, and Lei Jun's heart suddenly became worried.

Fang Chen sighed lightly, the current Lei Jun is still too young after all, and there is an unbridgeable gap between Lei Jun who said the theory of "Wind Pig".

However, compared to Zhang Xuanlong and Qiu Bojun, it is still stronger, no wonder in his previous life, Qiu Bojun would take the initiative to give up the position of Chairman of Jinshan to Lei Jun.

"If Microsoft's Windows can be surpassed so easily, what are the software companies that develop operating systems waiting for? If they can, they will already surpass. Fang Chen said disdainfully.

"I can assert with great certainty that the vast majority of PCs in the future will be equipped with Microsoft's operating system. Fang Chen said categorically.

The world must not have imagined that the Windows 3 series, which has achieved such excellent results, is not the pinnacle of Microsoft, but just the beginning.

The vast majority of people are familiar with Windows 95, which is the real existence of Microsoft's operating system overlord.

The release of Windows 95 is arguably the most sensational thing in the world since 1995, when it was a little quiet.

At that time, as soon as Windows 95 was released, under the strong publicity campaign and the good reputation of Windows 3.2, many customers who did not have computers were affected by the publicity and queued up to buy the software, but in fact, they didn't even know what Windows 95 was.

Windows 95 has created a miracle of selling more than a million copies in just 4 days.

This unsurpassable miracle in the world instantly completely killed all other operating system software companies, and since then, the operating system has almost only the voice of Microsoft.

Zhang Xuanlong and the three of them couldn't help but look slightly embarrassed, although Fang Chen's words were not polite, and even a little ugly, but they directly pointed out the true meaning of the matter, Windows3.0 has been released for more than two years, if it is so good, how can other operating system software companies sit still.

According to Fang Chen's meaning, Windows is unstoppable, and if Microsoft monopolizes the operating system of all personal computers, it will undoubtedly be an extremely terrifying thing.

Zhang Xuanlong and the three of them faintly saw a huge operating system software company rising from this planet, and the light shone like the sun on every personal computer, all of which were equipped with Microsoft's operating system, and then controlled by it.

And for these software companies, it is even more terrifying, if Microsoft really monopolizes all operating systems, then from now on, the computer software industry, thunder and rain are all Junen.

Microsoft lets whoever lives live, and lets whoever dies die.

Seeing that the two chairmen of their own house were silent again, Lei Jun had to bite the bullet and said: "But our WPS has its own user base, and now it can basically sell more than 2,000 copies per month, if we don't agree to be compatible with the Microsoft Office software format, I believe that the long-term user habits will make users finally choose our WPS." ”

After all, they Kingsoft is not a small company, how to say that it is also the first software company in China, and there is still a certain user base, and once the user habit is formed, it is actually difficult to change, which forms a moat for their Kingsoft company, and it can still survive more or less......

Thinking of this, Lei Jun himself became a little unconfident, anyway, he felt that no matter how miserable Jinshan was, it would not be said that it would fall to the point where it had to be sold to Microsoft.

And Lei Jun subconsciously glanced at Fang Chen again, and saw that Fang Chen didn't mean to be angry, which was how much his heart was put back in his stomach.

Seriously, he really didn't want to deal with the world's top tycoon like Fang Chen, and he always had a feeling of being crushed every minute.

But unfortunately, the two chairmen of their own family are not strong, Zhang Dong is exquisite, and he is also capable and courageous, but when it comes to technology-related things, he is a little blind and can't interject, otherwise he would not entrust the company to Qiu Dong.

And begging for Dong ......

Forget it, forget it, Lei Jun can't think about it anymore, Qiu Dong is a good hand in technology, and the rest is ...... If it works, it won't make him the manager of Yanjing Technology Development Company and the deputy general manager of Xiangzhou at the same time.

"I'm so hard!" Lei Jun silently shouted in his heart.

At this time, his heart was really a little crazy.

Fang Chen glanced at Lei Jun and said calmly, "What if in addition to that, Microsoft has a big killer?"

"What other big killers?"

Zhang Xuanlong and the three of them looked surprised, in Fang Chen's mouth, Microsoft is already the overlord of the operating system, almost monopolizing the operating system of personal computers in the world, what else can there be a big killer.

Could it be that Microsoft is still planning to kill the earth?

This makes no sense, or even makes sense.

Seeing this, Fang Chen smiled, and then said nonchalantly, "For example, what about free?"

"Free?"

Zhang Xuanlong blurted out in an instant, but his face had changed greatly, and it was obvious that he seemed to realize that something was wrong.

Fang Chen said solemnly: "Zhang Dong, you are right, it is the kind of free you imagined, I want to know if Microsoft's office software does not charge money, whether Kingsoft can withstand Microsoft's attack and continue to maintain the current WPS market share." ”

"Naturally, this is impossible, but I think it is even more impossible for Microsoft to be free!" Zhang Xuanlong said resolutely.
