Wang Dazhi's investigation report will take at least half a year to come out, and Chen Geng is not in a hurry, in fact, let alone half a year later, even if it is a year or even two years later, this report can be taken out, Chen Geng does not mind, the more fully prepared in the early stage, the lower the probability of problems in the later stage, which is called sharpening the knife and cutting wood.

For example, now, Dorothy Kiridale, who came to report to Chen Geng, mentioned one thing to Chen Geng after reporting his work: "Boss, recently a company has made an Internet browser called scape, which seems to be quite popular, you see ......"

"scape?" Chen Geng was stunned: Is this company still appearing?

For example, because of his strong support for CM/P, although Bill Gates is still there, Microsoft is gone, relying on IBM's thighs, the current Bill is also well-known in the IT industry, and he is worth tens of millions of dollars, but compared with the former Microsoft, it is not comparable at all.

On the contrary, the development of Chen Geng's "Windows" operating system is in full swing, and with the visual graphical operation mode, the current "Windows" system has firmly ruled the desktop of every personal PC.

Chen Geng, who is very aware of the development trend of the Internet, as early as the beginning of 1993, let the data research company come up with the world's first mature IE browser, in order to pay tribute to Bill, Chen Geng did not even change his name, or called I Explorer, I Explorer of the data research company, in the absence of competitors, with the deep integration and bundling with the "Windows" operating system, quickly became the world's most mainstream Internet browser, accounting for almost 100% of the personal PC terminals.

What made Chen Geng curious was that in this case, did scape still appear?

Speaking of scape browser, not the post-70s, post-80s or computer professional netizens, many may have never heard of this name, nor have they heard of scape's Chinese name: Netscape, but in the history of the development of the world's Internet million, scape browser is no matter how can not be ignored existence, it is not only the world's first paid browser, but also in terms of connection speed, occupation of system resources, etc., are much better than Microsoft's I Explorer.

It was the advent of the scape browser that forced Microsoft to adopt the use of bundling I Explorer with their Windows operating system in order to squeeze the living space of scape as much as possible.

However, in this time and space, when the I Explorer browser of his own data research company has firmly dominated the desktop, the scape browser still stubbornly popped up, which made Chen Geng a little surprised.

"Yes," Dorothy Kiridale nodded, "I asked Gary to put scape to the test, and to be honest, scape is better than our IE." ”

"And then?" Chen Geng asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Scape must not be allowed to develop," Dorothy Kirridaire said without hesitation, "otherwise it will become a serious threat to IE!

Chen Geng smiled, he shook his head: "No, we can't do this. ”

"Huh?"

Dorothy Kiridale blinked, "Why?"

"Because of the monopoly," Chen Geng said, "in the computer market, we have a lot of competitors, but in the field of personal operating systems, our 'Windows' system has firmly dominated the desktop of personal PCs, Dolucy, you should understand, this is not a good thing for us, and now there are many people clamoring to start the anti-monopoly law to review us." ”

Dorothy Kiridale nodded silently.

Of course, she knows this, the market share of the "Windows" operating system in the field of personal PCs is too high, although in addition to the "Windows" system, there are also Linux, Unix and Apple's system on the market (Apple's operating system at this time is system, MAC OS is after 1997) and other operating systems, but whether it is the emerging Linux 1.0 or Apple system 7.0, the market share is pitiful, and the market share of these three operating systems together is less than 3% of the entire market, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the "Windows" operating system of the data research company monopolizes the operating system of personal PCs.

The position of IE browser in the browser market, which is probably equivalent to the market position of the "Windows" operating system in the field of personal PC, is in an absolute monopoly.

But having said that, Dorothy Kiridale was still a little unwilling: "Are we just going to let the scape develop?"

"Of course not. ”

Dorothy Kiridale's expression was relieved: I knew the boss wouldn't sit idly by and watch the development of the scape.

Chen Geng smiled: "The current development speed of scape is too slow, I decided to push him." ”

"......" Dorothy Kiridale was stunned for a moment before she said in surprise: "Boss, are you crazy?!

"IE needs to have a competitor, I found that in recent years, with our 'window' system, office office software and IE browser occupy an absolute monopoly position in the personal PC market, many people have begun to slack off, which is absolutely not allowed," Chen Geng's expression became serious: "Now the data research company needs a 'catfish', if we can't find such a 'catfish' inside, then it's not bad to find a 'catfish' outside." ”

The boss must have gone crazy!

Looking at Chen Geng, who had made up his mind to help the development of the scape browser, Dorothy Kirridaire was speechless in shock.

........................

What Dorothy Kiridale didn't expect was that his boss was so resolute that he just said that he wanted to help the Scape browser develop, and on the back foot, he took the initiative to talk about it in an interview with the North American Journal of Computers.

To be precise, it was the reporter of the North American Computer Journal who took the initiative to mention the scape browser, and it was not without the intention of wanting to see Chen Geng and the jokes of the data research company, but to the surprise of the reporter of the North American Computer Journal, Chen Geng affirmed the scape browser in the face of his own problem......

"Yes, I know scape," Chen Geng nodded affirmatively to the reporter of the North American Computer Journal: "In fact, I have used this browser." ”

The reporter didn't expect Chen Geng to nod and admit it, and after being stunned for a while, he was suddenly overjoyed: "That...... Mr. Fernández, what do you think of scape?"
