One Hundred and Eighteen (A)
"Boss, this can't be done. Programmer Dennis complained, "It's not a human job, and it's not a good thing to have a videoform that adapts to any machine and runs fast." ”
Mr. Walker, who is now known as a big dealer, was furious: "Mr. Dennis, how can you be like this, is it useless for me to give so much money, and you Stanford hackers don't have any credit at all." ”
"Mr. Walker, it's not that we don't talk about our credibility, we really can't do it. Dennis was a little aggrieved, "The reason why videoform runs so fast on Apple's second generation is because its source code has been specially optimized for Apple's hardware, and many instructions unique to Apple's hardware are used." It's one of the most beautiful programs I've ever seen, and the author is certainly not the average person. Now it's a bit hard for us to get it on a PC. ”
Walker said angrily: "Then how did you say that you would succeed at that time, I trusted you to let you do it." ”
Dennis said: "Originally, I was very confident, but I need time, understand? After reading the source program, I realized how big a barrier there is, PC and Apple are not the same system, and I am not very familiar with PC hardware, so it takes a lot of effort to change." You said you could transplant this thing in a few weeks and still have to maintain the performance, I can't do it, the transplant can be, but the performance will definitely go down. ”
Walker roared: "You bastards, you have to do things after you collect the money, I don't care what, I have to see the finished product next month, otherwise you don't want to get a penny!"
Dennis hated his teeth itching, and he wanted to smoke him at that time, but unfortunately he was soft, so he had to endure it. He slammed the document on the table: "The brothers have started work, the boss is furious, and we don't have a good life." ”

"Bill, there's good news. Ballmer rushed to the office, "IBM is going to make a move!"
Bill put down what he was doing and asked, "Sit down and talk slowly, what is it!"
Ballmer got a glass of water and poured it down: "IBM has a new plan, they are going to release a new machine, these bitches still want to keep it secret, and I found out." ”
Bill's heart fluttered: "What kind of new machine? This is an opportunity, it's great." ”
Ballmer triumphantly said: "I used a lot of tricks to find out what those guys were thinking, they wanted to increase the frequency of the processor and add a hard drive." It's crazy, hard drive, Bill, you know how much it costs, it's only used on mainframes, it's on the desktop. ”
Bill pondered for a moment and said, "It's not much of an innovation, but with a hard drive, performance will definitely improve by leaps and bounds." We have to do something, we can't wait. ”
After thinking for a long time, Bill slapped his thigh: "Yes, hard drive, this thing is a new product, and the operating system on the market now has which hard disk support? ”
Ballmer opened his mouth wide: "No, our DOS doesn't have this kind of technology either!"
Bill smirked, "What do you think I'm doing with these boys these days? Watching TV? We're accumulating, holding back, and making an epoch-making new product." ”
Ballmer didn't ask what Bill was developing, he just looked at his boss with some admiration, he knew Bill would definitely say it.
Sure enough, Bill himself said: "You know what, Simeone has made progress. ”
"Simeone, that Hungarian madman!" Ballmer cried, "this guy has finally made something, what has he done?"
"Simeone has been in charge of the development of visualization programs since we poached them from PARC, and he's the kind of scientist who doesn't think anything in his head and has an intelligence far beyond what modern people understand about computers," Bill said. He's our turnaround weight, and he's bringing Xerox GUI data, which no one else has. ”
"That's great, but can I ask what a graphical interface is?" Ballmer praised.
Bill rolled his eyes, "You...... Forget it, I told you that you don't understand either, just do your own thing. ”
Simeone, a few years ago that Bill had personally recruited the first word processor on a Xerox visualization computer system.
When he arrived at Microsoft, Simeone was convinced that the easiest way to create a new generation of word processing, spreadsheets, and database programs was to create a three-in-one program that could be shared by all three programs.
It's a bit awkward to say, this is Simeone's understanding, to get to us now that is the office series of software, all data can be shared, which is probably what it means.
Simeone has ambition and technical drive, but there are some things that a technician like him can't decide, which is a bit like Cao Changjiu, who is also involuntarily.
