Chapter 59: Continuing to Heat Up
Powell believes that there is nothing that cannot be solved with sticks and carrots, and in the evening of that day, Powell will report to Microsoft's headquarters on what he has seen and heard in Yanjing.
According to the usual practice, at this time, the United States has just dawned, and the people in the office should be in the state after two hours, and the affairs of the headquarters in Asia are always handled every few days, but this time, the fax sent by Powell was actually replied to in seconds.
"Pay close attention to Huaxin Technology, report the details of Huaxin Technology, and wait for the next instruction from the headquarters!"
Powell shook his head with the fax and said to Kalvic: "I have never seen the headquarters care so much about Asia-Pacific affairs, what the hell is going on?"
Kalvic had been testing the system, and naturally he also saw the media player, and the Fantasy 586 computer came with three discs.
"Can this computer play VCDs?"
Calvic is a little skeptical, but this is the focus of Microsoft's next-generation operating system, which is strong support for home multimedia.
Try to put the disc into the optical drive, the open player window is automatically recognized, and a Chinese dialog box pops up, whether to play.
Karvich clicks "Yes" and the video plays automatically,
"This is the kind of shoddy picture of VCD. β
The further down he looked, the darker Karvich's face became.
"Mr. Powell, you better come and take a look, this system is not that simple!"
Powell stepped forward and was instantly captivated by the image on the screen.
"This ......"
Karvic shook his head and said: "Good human-computer interaction, excellent layout design, this is already incredible, I didn't expect this amazing software."
Mr. Powell,I'm sure,This player must have used,We don't know the encoding method,Because the processor of the Pentium 586,It can't complete such a clear picture decodingγ β
Powell doesn't understand technology, he just doesn't understand, is there anything in the world that the almighty Microsoft can't solve!
"Mr. Kalvic, Microsoft has encountered too many first-class companies for more than ten years, but without exception, they all fell at the feet of Microsoft, even IBM and Apple, do you know why?"
Karvich shook his head and asked, "Why?"
Powell smiled faintly, leaned into Kalvic's ear and said, "Because behind Microsoft stands God." β

Just when Powell was planning to meet with Liu Chengzhi of Fantasy Technology, the download volume of the HarmonyOS SP operating system in major foreign data centers continued to rise, and the continuous influx of data requirements caused the servers in the US data centers to go down continuously, and finally had to announce the suspension of service.
Disgruntled users have complained to the phone, and many have offered to pay for disc data.
"Oh God, this is the craziest thing I've ever seen!"
"Hi Paul, you should install the Harmong sp system, very good Windows operating system, it can give you an unexpected experience!"
"Has Microsoft come out with a new operating system? God, it looks like I'm going to have an extra expense on my bill next month. β
"No, no Paul, you don't have to pay a penny, it's an open source system, and if you have enough technical skills, you can even turn it into anything you want. β
"Is this true, I've had enough of boring character interfaces. β
"Also, if your computer is the latest 586 processor, you can also use it to watch Hollywood blockbusters, imagine that on the weekend, you can have a whole day with your girlfriend ......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Harmong sp system continues to heat up in Europe and the United States, which naturally aroused the ideas of major giants, the most concerned of which is Microsoft.
At Microsoft's U.S. headquarters in Seattle, staff at the test center are testing a 586 computer with a Harmong sp system.
Technician Lewis stood up and said to the supervisor next to him, Robt Brown. "Mr. Robut, unlike Microsoft's Windows NT system, this Harmong sp system completely abandons compatibility with 16-bit hardware, which is a native 32-bit operating system," K said.
In fact, the 486 processor computer does not fully perform its performance, and we have shown in our tests that some media players, desktop bokeh effects, etc. will not work on the 486 computer......"
"It's long overdue for Microsoft to ditch the 16-bit processor app, and being compatible with everything will only make the system more bloated and inefficient. β
Robt. K shook his head and asked, "What the hell is this video player?"
"Mr. Robt, the video compression tool that comes with the system, in fact, it is a crazy decision to compress the video with a microcomputer, it takes a month for a movie to be compressed, and we have arranged for someone to take the source and tools to the data processing center, I think, they will probably come back. β
Ten minutes later, the crew of the compressed film returned to the testing center.
The person introduced the technical indicators in detail, 120 minutes 800*600 native digital movies, the space occupied is 3.4G, after compression, the space occupied is 589M, which can be easily loaded into a cd disc,
The 120-minute video was compressed by just over 500 meters, and I don't know what the picture was destroyed.
Robt. K smiled: "This should be a vcd, I didn't expect them to put the vcd on the microcomputer, and it took Microsoft ten minutes to implement this function on Windows nt." β
Carr said, "Director Robt, you should see, this is not a rudimentary VCD. β
Robt. K looked at his watch and said, "It's time to get off work, I think I need to go home and have dinner with my wife Kate, boys, put your test reports on my desk." β
Carr insisted, "Director Robt, or you can wait another three minutes, I think, it can make your dinner more lively." β
Start playing, Robert shouts impossible.
Stunning graphics, high-fidelity sound.
"How did they do it, God, that the 586 computer could play a video like this?"
"I can't help but put a system like this on my microcomputer. β
Robt. Somewhat annoyed, K shrugged his shoulders and complained to the people at the test center, "I think we need to do something, boys, I need to make a call now, oh God, you ruined my dinner......"
The test center is required to provide a complete report to the superior for evaluation.

Compared to the company, the Harmong sp system is a feast for the crazy computer enthusiasts.
Open source means you can add any condiments to this dish.
On each forum, there is an exchange of ideas on how to maximize the efficiency of the system, or to develop more functions based on the system.
