Chapter 216: Press Conference Counterattack (First Update)
Li Zetian didn't want to do so, but since IBM wanted to make such a decision, he had no choice but to stop him from developing the computer industry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today, Apple, Intel, Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, and Oracle are all competing with IBM.
It is normal for IBM to hate Li Zetian and regard him as its biggest rival.
It's just that today's Microsoft company is not the Microsoft of the previous life, first of all, the operating system has taken the lead, and there are two killer software, Excel and Word, if Excel, Word and the operating system are bundled, what can IBM do? Are users willing to accept IBM's operating system, or are they more willing to accept Microsoft's operating system?
What's more, Microsoft isn't alone! Don't forget who stands behind it!!
Li Zetian's influence in the American computer industry is in no way inferior to IBM.
His legendary experience has made many computer manufacturers full of confidence in him, and if he wants to work against IBM, there will definitely be a large number of people who support him! This is an obvious thing.
After Li Zetian hung up the phone, his deep eyes like a whirlpool looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, the corners of his mouth floated up, with a hint of mockery, and he said in a light tone: "IBM thinks it's very awesome, right, then let's have a good competition, I want to defeat you this time !! honestly and completely."
After years of accumulation, Li Zetian has the confidence to say this!
……
At this time, the outside world caused a huge sensation because of the news that IBM canceled its cooperation with Microsoft, and many companies were a little overwhelmed. Previously, because Microsoft and IBM worked together, they developed third-party software on Microsoft's operating system. Now, I don't know what to choose. While IBM is still the leader in the computer industry, Microsoft is the monopolist of operating systems......
Some senior computer experts believe that "IBM has made Microsoft what it is today, and in the same way, it can also destroy Microsoft!"
"With IBM's position in the industry, it won't be long before a new operating system replaces Microsoft's operating system!"
"Microsoft will rebel and leave it, and third-party software developers will leave it!"
“……”
Among them, there is no shortage of water armies invited by IBM!
Subsequently, a number of companies said that they would no longer develop software for Microsoft.
Major media outlets have also begun to sing the praises of Microsoft.
The Wall Street Journal reported: "The breakdown of IBM's relationship with Microsoft will have a huge negative impact on Microsoft!"
The New York Times: "Microsoft's situation is not optimistic!"
……
"I'm not the one who is passively beaten, since I want to fight, then I will strike first!" Li Zetian immediately decided to let Microsoft hold a product launch conference in advance, release an attack on IBM, and launch the Windows 1.0 operating system globally on Christmas Day.
On December 15th, Microsoft's press conference was held in the Los Angeles Coliseum, in addition to the media, large computer manufacturers and third-party software developers came, such as HP, Compaq, DEC, Apple, Commodore, etc., software developers such as Oracle, Flamingo, SAP, Adobe, etc., but IBM was not invited.
Such a grand press conference is naturally indispensable to Li Zetian, and this press conference is personally held by him!
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the media reporters and guests were almost all there.
The stage lit up and the press conference officially began.
Li Zetian wore a black suit and slowly walked onto the stage.
"Hello everyone, and welcome to Microsoft's product launch!"
Li Zetian bowed slightly to show his welcome, and then continued: "I think everyone knows that a few days ago, IBM announced the cancellation of its cooperation with Microsoft! In fact, in my opinion, IBM made a big mistake!
Microsoft's operating system has always been popular among users and has a very high market share. The user is already accustomed to Microsoft's operating system, and if he switches to a different operating system, he is certainly not used to it, and he does not like it.
If IBM doesn't use Microsoft's operating system, its computer sales will drop sharply!
It's the same for other computer manufacturers!"
Li Zetian paused, giving everyone a moment to think.
After a few seconds, he continued: "Microsoft's new Windows 1.0 operating system has a graphical operation interface, which users can use the mouse to operate, which is easy to understand and easy to use, even people who have no computer knowledge can use it!"
The Windows 1.0 Windows operating system is based on the Microsoft-DOS operating system, so it is compatible with software on Microsoft-DOS, which is undoubtedly very popular for computer users! Because the software they previously purchased can also run on Windows 1.0, thus saving money.
If a computer manufacturer uses another company's operating system, and users have to pay for new software, or if there is no software available at all, will they still be willing to buy a computer with that operating system installed?
”
Third-party computer manufacturers couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, feeling that what Li Zetian said was very reasonable.
Li Zetian went on to say: "For third-party software developers, if they develop software for a new operating system, they will undoubtedly increase additional R&D expenditures, which may not be able to make ends meet, and may even be overtaken by competitors because the company's R&D resources are used where they should not be used.
This reason is actually very simple, the two companies were evenly matched, but Company A was distracted and wanted to make money on both operating systems, while Company B mobilized all its resources to develop software only on Microsoft's operating system. By the time Company A reacted, it was already too late. And it didn't sell well on another operating system, and the company went bankrupt!
So, I would advise those third-party software developers not to lose sight of one or the other, you already have a huge market share in Microsoft's operating system, and if you give up, your competitors will be smiling!!"
Li Zetian paused, and then said: "What is the most important thing about a personal computer? There is no doubt that the first is the operating system, and Microsoft is a well-deserved industry leader in this regard; and the second is the microprocessor, and Intel is also the first in the industry in this regard!"
Microsoft and Intel have been working closely together, and only Microsoft's operating system can be fully compatible with Intel's processors to maximize their performance, while other operating systems, there is no guarantee!
The PC market is very competitive, and if your computer runs slower than other computers, or if the operating system is always wrong, then your computer will not sell. With Intel's processors and Microsoft's operating system, you can guarantee that your computer will be more powerful than other computers!
As for how you choose, I don't think I need to say more!
”
"In view of the fact that IBM has canceled its cooperation with Microsoft, Microsoft has also canceled its cooperation with IBM! The new generation of Excel and Word software will no longer be compatible with IBM's operating system!!
As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar!
"Without Excel and Word, IBM's operating system is a, and users won't buy it!"
"yes, unless IBM redevelops other spreadsheets and word processing software. But users are accustomed to using Excel and Word, they have learned for a long time in order to learn to use these two software, and now they want to change to other software and learn again, I'm afraid no one wants to!"
"That's right, even if IBM comes out with spreadsheets and word processing software, users won't buy it!"
“……”
Li Zetian smiled slightly, the current Microsoft company is not the Microsoft of the previous life, and it has to rely on IBM so much. At this time, he raised his hand and made a silent motion.
The audience immediately fell silent.
Li Zetian then continued: "In addition, the computer games developed by Flamingo will not be compatible with IBM's operating system!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was another uproar in the audience.
"A lot of families buy computers, and games are the biggest selling point. The reason why the Commodore-64 personal computer is selling so well is because the computer can support games very well! Flamingo is a giant in the game industry, and if it is not supported by it, the sales of the computer will inevitably drop sharply!"
"Yes, office and entertainment are together, and such computers will sell well!"
"Microsoft's Excel and Word, Oracle's Oracle database, are essential software for enterprises, and Flamingo is a game entertainment giant, plus Intel's processors. Well, no matter how I look at it, I feel like IBM and Chronos Li are against each other, and I feel like I'm dying!!"
"Well, yes, I feel that way, too!"
