According to the feedback from the marketing department, up to now, there have been few responses to the invitation letter issued by Huaxin Technology for the developers of the Hongmeng SP system.

Wang Anran is very clear that this is because of interests, when software companies do not see the development prospects of the HarmonyOS SP system, they are unlikely to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to develop a set of software to be applied to the new system.

Of course, Qiu Baijun is an exception, the brain of a strong man is not understandable to ordinary people.

And Wang Anran didn't panic at all, he was waiting for a news, a news that would make the Hongmeng SP system completely turn over.

On the other hand, Powell, president of Microsoft Greater China, who is also in Yanjing, is pleased to see that the computers with the HarmonyOS SP operating system installed on the market have disappeared.

"Hey, Professor Calvin, we can have a good rest this weekend, otherwise, I'm afraid we won't have this opportunity in a while. ”

"Mr. Powell, is there a new plan at headquarters?"

Powell nodded and said: "Damn the HarmonyOS SP system, although it is under our control, it has not been promoted, but this system is very popular among American computer enthusiasts, and some people are already accusing Microsoft of losing its creativity and falling behind this era!"

Calvin frowned slightly, and said to himself: "It is undeniable, it is indeed an excellent operating system, in the past two months, the detailed test report has also come out, and the kernel of the Hongmeng SP system is completely designed with advanced structured functions, and it is even better than the Windows NT system in terms of stability."

It's incredible, I'm really skeptical, where did they get the technology, their creativity is amazing. ”

Powell smiled: "Dr. Calvin, if you marvel at it again, it will become history, Microsoft is the future of this world." ”

"No!" Calvin continued: "There are two more things, I must explain, Mr. Powell, remember the two applets that come with the HarmonyOS SP system?"

"You mean?"

"Video player and one-click restore system!"

Powell asked with a puzzled face: "With Microsoft's R&D capabilities, it is not difficult to develop a similar software!"

Calvin's face was solemn, he shook his head and said: "I have to sigh at the wisdom of the Chinese, Mr. Powell, let's talk about this video player first, the technology it uses is variable frame video compression and decoding technology, which is a pioneering achievement." ”

"Variable Frame Video Compression...... What decoding technology?"

"Yes, Mr. Powell, you know, the movie refreshes at least 24 frames per second so that we can watch the video comfortably, but have you ever thought that when you shoot a set of landscapes in a movie, the picture is basically not moving, so it is enough to refresh two or three frames.

The core of this technology is to use different frame rates according to the degree of conversion of the movie screen, so the compression ratio can be greatly improved, and it can be optimized to the extent that it can be played on a microcomputer. ”

Powell shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "There's nothing in the world that Microsoft can't solve, Professor Calvin, that's right." ”

"That's right, Mr. Powell, but my supervisor, Mr. Thomas, is sorry to tell me that they have already registered patents in major countries, and you know that they have registered all 37 methods of soft decoding as patents, and even if Microsoft can get around it, the code to be added will make the software no longer able to run on the microcomputer!"

Powell was stunned for a moment.

How can it be.

When did the Chinese have such technology, this result frustrated him, and when did Microsoft also relent. Busy asked again: "What about one-click restore?"

Calvin shook his head and said, "Compared to variable frame video playback, one-click restoration is more innovative. ”

“......”

"Mr. Powell, you are familiar with the installation process of the operating system, the installation of Windows NT, from the hardware detection of partitions to the system file copy to the registry generation, to the driver installation to the system settings, and the technology used by the other party should be an installed system image, the only thing it needs to do is copy. ”

Powell took a sip of water and asked, "Without hardware detection, no partitioning, and no drivers, can such a system be stable?"

Calvin continued, "So they chose a stable installed system and integrated the drivers into the software, and for that they developed a system detection and partitioning tool that was integrated into the one-click restore software. ”

Powell had nothing to say, and finally shrugged his shoulders and said to Calvin: "So, this one-click restore, they also registered a patent?"

Calvin nodded and said: "Mr. Powell, what we have to think about now is how to explain to these PC manufacturers of Fantasy Technology, you know, in order to cut off the cooperation between Fantasy Technology and Huaxin Technology, they paid a price of 20 million.

Our commitment to Fantasy Technology is to share video decoding and one-click restore technology, as well as technical support for their minicomputer workstation program. ”

"At least they got the minicomputer technology, what else could they not be satisfied with. Powell let out a long sigh, feeling that he didn't have a trace of desire to take a vacation, and said weakly: "Professor Calvin, you ruined my weekend, you have to be responsible!"

Calvin waved his hand to show helplessness and continued: "The company launched the next generation of operating system, which should be to deal with this situation, but I doubt that this system is ready to be launched?"

Powell took a sip of water and said, "Professor Calvin, this is not something for us to consider, but I am now more and more interested in this Huaxin technology......

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

A mature enterprise, in order to maintain competitiveness in the market competition, will always be the main market of mature products, the products under development will focus on the future, and the concept design will focus on the future.

For the Hongmeng SP microcomputer operating system, Wang Anran mainly strengthened network services and system security.

In this generation, the system on the minicomputer workstation needs to be redesigned except for the same program interface as the microcomputer.

The reason is simple, the target needs are not the same.

At present, the main application of minicomputers is workstation type, which is used for scientific computing, data simulation and analysis, and graphics and image processing.

With the official access of the country to the Internet in 1994, the next few years will be a period of vigorous development of the national Internet.

Correspondingly, the demand for web servers is bound to develop exponentially.

And now in China, in this field, only Inspur is the only one who stands out, in 1993, with the help of Singaporeans, Inspur developed China's first web server.

But it is only developed, and it will take a long time to put it into the market.

Wang Anran does not want the server market to be controlled by foreign giants such as HP and Dell in the future.

The next-generation server operating system, codenamed Pango SP, is also on the agenda.
