Chapter 217: The Wind of Public Opinion (Second Update)

Since it is a product launch conference, it is natural to show the characteristics of the Windows 1.0 Windows operating system. Li Zetian, www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, called Bill Gates to the stage and asked him to introduce and demonstrate the characteristics of the Windows 1.0 operating system.

During the demonstration, the audience couldn't help but let out shocking noises many times.

Li Zetian stood aside and smiled calmly, although he didn't give too many suggestions for this operating system, even if it was one and a half stars, it was enough to impact people's imagination. For example, it supports icons, overlay windows, and recycle bins, as well as multimedia functions and object connection and embedding functions.

These were the most common things in the future, but they were epoch-making designs in this era.

Li Zetian casually pretended to be a force, and he was very bullish!

Many people in the audience are going crazy with excitement.

In addition, Windows 1.0 has a protected and enhanced mode that makes more efficient use of memory!

Nowadays, the memory capacity is already small, and if you run too much software, or if it is too complicated, the computer will become very stuck, and it will make you vomit blood!!

"The Windows 1.0 operating system is so powerful that it will definitely be sought after by users!"

"Yes, if I were a user, I would be willing to pay for such an operating system!

"Hehe, if IBM hadn't used Microsoft's Windows 1.0, wouldn't it have given us the opportunity?" a pot-bellied computer manufacturer grinned.

"Hehe, if the IBM-PC can't be sold, we'll make money!" said another computer manufacturer, smiling.

“……”

At this time, Bill Gates raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Immediately, he said: "

Microsoft's Windows operating system, Windows 1.0, will be bound to Excel and Word to form three packages.

The first package: Windows 1.0 + Excel for $400.

The second package: Windows 1.0 + Word, costs $400.

The third package: Windows 1.0 + Excel + Word, priced at only $500!

If sold separately, Windows 1.0 costs $300, Excel costs $200, and Word costs $200.

Officially launched worldwide on Christmas Day!!

"Bang Bang!"

Everyone applauded, the Windows 1.0 Windows operating system is shocking, more civilian, and will definitely be accepted by more ordinary consumers!

Li Zetian and Bill Gates looked at each other and smiled, thinking that the press conference was a great success!

Soon, it was time for reporters to ask questions.

Li Zetian left Bill Gates, he quietly stepped down and left the press conference in advance, so as not to crowd him, surround him, and prevent him from leaving.

At about 9:30 p.m., the press conference ended.

Subsequently, many companies contacted Bill Gates to seek cooperation!

……

Of course, IBM planted spies at the press conference, and he knew everything that happened at the press conference for the first time. Although he was also shocked, out of his own self-confidence, IBM did not think that Microsoft could threaten him!

An IBM director said with disdain: "Isn't Apple very powerful in the personal computer industry? However, after IBM got involved, it easily defeated Apple and became the boss of the industry! Similarly, as long as IBM goes all out to enter the operating system, Microsoft will not be afraid, and it will soon become a defeated man!"

It's just wishful thinking on the part of IBM.

Unlike in the past, personal computers are booming.

The reason why IBM was able to defeat Apple in the first place was because it was supported by many computer manufacturers, and they also wanted to enter the personal computer industry. Now the situation is different, Microsoft's operating system can bring more benefits to everyone, IBM wants to challenge Microsoft, which is equivalent to being outnumbered, no matter how awesome IBM is, can it fight so many companies?

Apparently not!

The next day, Microsoft's press conference was covered in the media.

The editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times said: "Microsoft's Windows operating system, Windows 1.0, is so shocking that even people who have never touched a computer know how to use it!"

Britain's "Daily Mail": "Microsoft system shock conference, Windows 1.0 will once again dominate the personal operating system market !!"

Altman Berkeley, a well-known American computer critic, said excitedly on CNN: "This is the best personal computer operating system I have ever seen, and IBM's cancellation of cooperation with Microsoft is definitely the stupidest decision!!

In an interview with reporters, the president of Hewlett-Packard said: "I am very impressed with Microsoft's Windows operating system Windows 1.0, it is indeed a very good operating system, and HP's next batch of personal computers will definitely install the operating system!"

The reporter then interviewed an ordinary computer user on the road and asked him if he would like to buy Microsoft's operating system or IBM's operating system.

The man didn't think about it, so he replied directly: "Do you need to say this? It must be willing to buy Microsoft's operating system, anyway, I have never used IBM's operating system, and I have always used Microsoft-DOS before." Microsoft Corporation's press conference yesterday, I also watched it, Windows 1.0 is simply cool!!"

The reporter finally counted the number of interviewees, and more than 80% of them supported Microsoft's Windows1.0, and most of them thought that Microsoft's operating system was used to Excel and Word......

……

Public opinion is increasingly tilting in favor of Microsoft, and many companies have made decisions silently.

IBM gradually realized that the situation was wrong, but at this moment it must not admit it, just kicked Microsoft out of the way a few days ago, and now wants to reconcile with others, where to put face?

This is only one aspect, on the other hand, IBM is IBM after all, it has been the industry boss for decades, strong and confident, has many supporters, and responds to the order, so it still has a fluke mentality, thinking that it can defeat Microsoft.

For a time, the computer industry was surging, and countless companies began to stand in line!

Li Zetian is full of confidence and is sure that Microsoft can defeat IBM, but he is still a little nervous before the results come out.

"Mr. Li, look at this newspaper!" Dongfang Yuqin handed Li Zetian a copy of the newspaper at this time!

Li Zetian looked at it, and it read: "The competition between Microsoft and IBM is actually a showdown between the legendary Chronos Li and IBM!!
