In the future, ISAs will be less important.

In the long run, semiconductor manufacturers will have less control over the ecosystem built on ISA, and the ISA itself will become less and less important, which is determined by the trend of software technology development, which has been in place since the early 90s.

Netscape Navigator, many of the professional terms and functions of the browser are derived from it, such as cookies, web frames, JS, etc., are defined in this browser.

The crazy company has repeatedly tried to create a web application operating system that allows users to operate through a browser, which means that users can operate a remote operating system without having to install an operating system on their local computer. (A few years ago, Google launched netbooks, Chromebooks, which define laptops as browsers, and all operations must be connected to the Internet to complete.) As long as the performance of the local computer can support basic networking and video playback, the server will handle the rest. ）

At this time, in order to cope with the growing power of Netscape, Microsoft directly purchased the source code of the prototype version of the Netscape Navigator browser, which was the first version of the browser that Mark Anderson made in college. Then, after the modification, it was released, which is Internet Explorer.

This is Microsoft's housekeeping skill, and many interviews have also mentioned how Microsoft's operating system came about, and it is basically how it was bought and changed, and it became its own.

Well, in the next few years, penguins will carry forward this housekeeping skill and shine and grow flowers.

......

In the villa, Zhao Song shook his head slightly, put away the messy thoughts, and then waved his hand to signal the excited Wang Xin to sit down and speak.

The kind of scene that Wang Xin said didn't come true when he came back from his death.

But he's willing to try, and even if it fails, the things that come out of this attempt are beneficial to Tesla.

Because he knows a miracle that everyone ignores in the world of web development - VBscript is dead, Dart has failed, and only Javascript is left in the future!

"Atwood's Law: Any application that can be implemented in Javascript will eventually be implemented in Javascript. “

Ten years later, this law has basically worked, and a subset of Javascript is used as assembly language ASM.JS and subsequent webassembly, making web applications have the potential to be comparable to native applications, and running Unity3d games in the browser is not a problem!

Zhao Song took out a piece of information, handed it to Wang Xin, who was quiet, and said with a smile:

"Don't get excited, that's just an idea of mine to try, you look at the information first. “

Seeing that Wang Xin looked at the information seriously, Zhao Song continued to introduce:

"Two years ago, in exchange, some of the money I made in the financial markets had to be invested in the U.S. stock market, so I bought up a couple of technology companies and licensed some of the technology. ”

Wang Xin looked up from the information and muttered, "Mozilla?"

"Yes, Mozilla. Zhao Song nodded and said, "After Netscape was acquired by American Online, some people went to Microsoft, some people went to Google, and some people went to the open source community and continued to pursue their own insistence ........"

Speaking of this, Zhao Song looked at Wang Xin and teased, "As a technology boss in the community, I believe you are familiar with those people, right?"

Wang Xinran was in a hurry, calling for wind and rain on the Internet, the boss of a small and medium-sized company in reality, he was very clear about his role, but he didn't expect to be picked up in Zhao Song.

"There are people who are still working on a new Netscape browser, and there is a last group of people who are working on this Mozilla. AOL continued to fund it until 2001, when Tesla took it over due to the Internet crash and its relationship with Time Warner. ”

This is the forward-looking layout of the richest man, the most open-source circle of the bigwig, in the past two years, he didn't know that Mozilla had changed owners, Wang Xin silently guessed in his heart, if he hadn't been found today, how long would Zhao Song be able to hide Mozilla?

"You're here for ......."

Hearing Wang Xin's question, Zhao Song pointed to the mobile phone on the table and said: "Based on the Mozilla kernel, first, preside over the development of feature phone browsers, the main function is to extract the text content of web pages, typeset them for mobile phone users to see (similar to UC); ”

Wang Xin looked at Zhao Song in surprise and asked, "Do you want to outsource?"

"Acquisition. ”

Zhao Song denied his speculation, "I'll buy your team." “

"If it's just those two projects," Wang Xin shook her head, "outsourcing is much more cost-effective than buying my company." ”

"Those two projects are just a test of your abilities. "Tesla is already a member of the W3C organization, so in the future, it is what Tesla's chief software technology officer should do to participate in the organization to formulate HTML standards, license the Mozilla kernel to all manufacturers for free, establish domestic open source websites, and formulate API (application programming interface) specifications." “

"Where's Frank?" Wang Xin was surprised. He didn't expect it to be such an important position.

"He proved himself in Tesla and fulfilled his previous dream, so ......" Zhao Song shrugged, "Foreigner, if you want to make a play, you want to make a play, so he has to go to other fields to make a fuss." “

Zhao Song didn't say what the founders of MP3 were going to do.

“...... Mr. Zhao"

Wang Xin thought for a long time before she said with difficulty, "I need time to think about it, and I have to inform my team." ”

"It should. Zhao Song nodded, then pointed to the information in his hand and said: "Mr. Wang, if the system is a platform, then the browser is the entrance to the Internet, and if you grasp this entrance, you will master the future."

The bundled sale of Shenzhou and Tesla can bring countless users to it, and keeping these users is the main task of Tesla's software engineers.

Mr. Wang, the information needs to be kept confidential, whether you agree or not, I hope you can rot what you saw today into your stomach. “

Wang Xin nodded solemnly, if what he saw today spread, it would have to cause an uproar:

Shenzhou is the majority shareholder of Penguin, and Zhao Song holds a stake in Shenzhou; Shanda acquires Sina, and Zhao Song is the majority shareholder of Shanda; Zhongguancun Holdings invests in Jingxi Mall, which is Zhao Song's personal enterprise.......

Although I don't know what these Internet companies have to do with Zhao Song's browser strategy, the next step of the richest man can definitely be the Internet!

But Wang Xin was wrong.

Zhao Song's real strategic goal is a chip ecosystem based on the wireless Internet.

No matter how unimportant the ISA of the CPU will be in the future, it will always be the foundation of all systems, and on this basis, only a sound ecology can make it develop.

And the real goal of Zhao Song is to prepare an ecology floating in the clouds and wait for that moment to come!

There is such a line in the movie "The Grandmaster": "Why does the knife have a sheath, not to kill, but to hide." ”

Now, only Zhao Song knows that the real entrance to the Internet is not a system at all, nor a browser, but those ......

Super APP!

Or, in other words, a browser that integrates all super apps.

......

"Mr. Zhao, when the browser is listed, will it be called Mozilla?"

Before leaving, Wang Xin asked this question.

"No ......"

Zhao Song shook his head, thought for a while, and then said slowly:

"It's called 'Firefox'!"
