"Hey, what do you want?" Wei Wei suddenly shouted next to him, and patted Atletico on the shoulder as he spoke.

"The company's business. ”

"Isn't it the weekend today?

Atletico smiled wryly, "What kind of holiday rest is there for us?"

"If you want to say it, just say it, don't say pull it down!" Wei Wei was also a little annoyed.

After seeing that the two girls in front of him didn't seem to have the intention of moving to the next counter for the time being, Atletico pulled Wei Wei to sit down on the plastic bench next to the wall, and said, "Actually, I have already made a decision, and now I just reminisce about it afterwards." ”

"Microsoft Asia approached us with an offer to buy our entire company, and I refused. ”

"Microsoft? Windows, Bill Gates, what did they like about you?"

"At the time, we were wondering if Microsoft was playing chess. ”

"And then you're saying that Microsoft Morning Bee wants to buy your company, Bee Technology, and you refuse?"

Atletico nodded slightly: "No, now it's just an ordinary partnership, Microsoft will issue us a Vista compatibility certification, but other benefits will be gone." ”

"Oops! If you sell to Microsoft, you will definitely be a multi-millionaire by now, and then I will become an old classmate of multimillionaires!" Wei Wei laughed as he tried his best to keep his voice down, his expression was very strange and joyful.

"It's a deep truth here, Microsoft's acquisition invitation is not necessarily goodwill," Atletico shook his head slightly, "As early as last year, Microsoft released the OEM pre-installed version of Vista, and our bee software has begun to support the Vista system in the new version." But we were very considerate to help Microsoft get rid of a bunch of fried chicken, in fact, these machines can still run vista, but it has to be a starter or BA private C version, I guess we do this to embarrass Microsoft, right?"

"I know this,I also installed Vista,Then when I installed the bee input method, it popped up a window,Say'Detect that my system is Vista,Need to run hardware detection',Let me wait,And then I mocked my machine,Said my memory is too small、CPU is too slow、The graphics card does not support DirectX10,It is not recommended to upgrade Vista。 And the installer canceled the installation directly! I didn't know at the time.,I also reinstalled the system and changed it back to XP.,I didn't think it was your bee on purpose!"

"It's not intentional, it's just a deliberate effort to reduce the trouble. I've long said that there's no point in sending your computer to school, because the performance of the computer is improving very quickly, and the hardware is constantly being updated. Your computer is still a prize issued by the school, and the purchasing gang directly buys the brand machine according to the estimated expenditure figure, the price of the brand machine is very fair, and the rebate is refreshing. Did you just install the flagship version?"

"Of course, if you want to pretend to be the best!"

"Then it's no wonder, the flagship version can't even run Dell's latest low-end computer, and your 18-month-old domestic brand machine, of course, can't. For this kind of fried chicken, we directly and rudely tell their users, or change back to XP, the system is smoother, no hardware compatibility problems are more comfortable, isn't it hello, hello, everyone?"

Compared with the experience index test that comes with the Vista system, the built-in computer performance test of the bee software is quite simple and crude, directly reading the Vista system version number, the capacity of free memory and free video memory, the model of the main hardware such as the CPU hard disk, graphics card, sound card, network card, etc., and then automatically judge whether the user's computer can install and use Vista, to be precise, "whether it can install and use the Vista version of the Bee software". Although this method is simple and crude, and parallel imports cannot be detected when encountering the problem of poor hardware constitution or false hardware standards, it is simple and fast, and a judgment can be made in a few seconds.

As for the problem of being deceived by false hardware standards? After installation, Bee PC Manager will automatically start the hardware performance comprehensive test module when it runs for the first time, and conduct a more detailed hardware performance test that is closer to the actual use of users.

As for those "non-mainstream" hardware, whether the model is too old or the brand is too small, as long as it is not listed in the built-in "Hardware Model Catalog that supports Vista to run smoothly" in Bee Software, it will be rejected by Bee Software. This is the "bee software" to use its "two-way choice" again, users have the right to choose free bee software, bee software also has the right to refuse to support some hardware, anyway, "non-mainstream" hardware users must also be properly "non-mainstream, niche", give up and give up.

"By the way, can you make it?" Atletico suddenly said to Wei Wei: "Intel is still producing 386 and 486?"

"386?intel?cpu?" Wei Wei was stunned, "It's that kind of antique cpu? How is it possible? Who still buys it! Isn't this stupid-b?"

"What is this?" Atletico said, "Guy, you're too stupid and naïve" with an expression, shamelessly sharing the jokes he heard from class to his good friends.

"Until now, the U.S. Space Shuttle still uses the 8086 CPU of 30 years ago. Produced in 1978, 16-bit, 40,000 transistors, with a clock frequency of up to 8 megabytes, which is a few hundredths of the speed of your computer's Benz 4, but NASA still doesn't use it?"

"How can this be?" The worldview was shocked, and Wei Wei was a little stunned for a while.

"In fact, in many occasions, the more advanced the better," Atletico casually pointed to the things around him, "CPU is not only used in computers! The control system of air conditioning, lighting, advertising display, and induction door in the shopping mall; the subsystems of automobiles, trains, airplanes, space shuttles, satellites, missiles, and tanks on the road outside: power, braking, navigation, and communication modules; the CNC machine tools, access control and attendance, and security monitoring in the factory, and the B-ultrasound, CT machine, and ultrasonic lithotripsy machine in the hospital...... Many places use CPUs, and they also have their own operating systems, which are called embedded systems and embedded computers. They are first and foremost cheap and stable, but they do not require much performance. ”

"Even if the 8086 has long been discontinued, NASA would rather buy a bunch of old equipment and old computers, and then disassemble the 8086 chip from it and use it, rather than upgrade the CPU on the space shuttle to the latest version. For your PC, the CPU can't play the latest games without power, even if the CPU interface changes from 478 to 775, you can buy a motherboard that supports 775 sockets, but for these devices, it may be necessary to redesign the circuits of the CPU-related departments, not to mention the increased cost, and it will also bring the risk of system instability, why should people take this risk?"

As for the integration is too low, the main frequency speed is too slow, the space shuttle still uses 8086, the Loongson 2 has reached the Ben three level, the performance is actually completely enough, the key is whether the stability is good or not. ”

"That's right," Wei Wei accepted this explanation, but then he raised his eyebrows, "Atletico Madrid, you tell me, is it that the bee butler retains his strength on the vista? ”

"This," Atletico's face suddenly fell, "I can't help it, Vista is a pit." ”

"Oh, I'll persuade him to put XP back on when I get back. ”

In fact, the meaning of "pit" in Atletico Madrid's words is not the same as Wei Wei's understanding. If Atletico wants, it is possible to let Bee PC Manager optimize the Vista system and solve a large number of incompatibilities as it does on the XP system. After all, the E7U plug-in has helped Atletico Madrid get a considerable part of the source code of XP and Vista, and with the source code in hand, he can customize the system patches and drivers by himself, and it is natural to optimize the performance.

Although the "first optimisation software with perfect support for Vista" would have garnered a lot of attention, downloads, unlimited scenery and good money, Atletico gave up on this tempting idea after careful consideration.

Similarly, he rejected Microsoft's acquisition proposal for the same reason: he was a thief!

The source code of Windows is the source code of thousands of program apes for more than 20 years, and finally grew into what it is today, it is said that XP alone has 40 million lines of code, and Atletico only obtained some of them by disassembling a few system versions he collected.

As the most famous private software, although the source code of Windows is "open" to a certain extent for various reasons, it is far less open than Atletico Madrid.

First, Microsoft allows vetted users to view the source code of its products.

They believe that large customers care more about whether they have the right to know, and do not care about whether they exercise it, and "the right to do is more important than actually doing", so they offered the ancestral trick of profiteers who are "only allowed to see, not to touch", first in 2001 Microsoft launched the "Shared Source Code Project (S private)" and in 2003 launched the "Zhengfu Security Program Source Code Protocol (GSP)".

Microsoft has successively introduced Windows CE (an embedded system version exclusively for PDA phones, etc.), Windows XP, and VisualStudio. The source code of software such as VB programming tools is shared and open to varying degrees, and those who meet the conditions can download and view it, and some of these software can be authorized to modify and redistribute like open source software, or even for commercial purposes.

However, Microsoft's flagship products, Windows Enterprise Edition and Office office software, are not among them, and many of the "open" codes "can only be seen and cannot be moved". The GSP for the governments of various countries even stipulated that 3% of the core code needed to be inspected on site at the Microsoft headquarters, which was criticized at the time for blatantly organizing the staff of the governments of various countries to go on a "tour".

For tens of millions of lines of code in Windows XP, it is not conducive to finding vulnerabilities and improving the code, and its significance is only to reassure partners.

Second, due to a partner's mistake, part of the Windows 2000 system code was leaked to the Internet in 2004.

This sparked a download spree of hackers around the world at the time. As a result, everyone downloaded the source code that appeared on the Internet and found that although the download was indeed the source code, it was only a part of it. And the core part is also missing, and a carnival has not become the end of Microsoft.

Third, as early as 1998, some programming apes launched a "open-source WindowsNT system" project called ReactOS (React: Revolt, OS: Operating System). Because European and American laws stipulate that software patents are valid for 20 years, ReactOS can only emulate Windows code by researching and cracking the first and second generations of old versions of Windows 20 years ago and reverse-engineering the software. The latest version is currently 0. Version 30, although it is far from actually replacing Windows, is very helpful for studying the operating mechanism of the Windows system.

There were suspicions that ReactOS was using leaked Windows source code, and the ReactOS development team had to stop working and recheck all the code to make sure none of the copyrighted code existed.

ReactOS Team: "Your sister's grandma plays Windows 1. The ultimate goal of 0 is to create an open source version of NT4. 0 has wood and has leaked NT5. 0(win2000)There is a wood?, that thing, grandma will not touch the wood in his lifetime?!"

Finally, last year, in 2006, Microsoft further opened up the Windows kernel code.

First of all, in July, Microsoft opened up the kernel source code of 32-bit color RVE and 64-bit XP for universities and academia, plus the necessary documentation and compilation tools, to form WRK, a toolkit for Windows research kernel. With WRK, professionals finally don't have to rely on ReactOS to study how Windows works, and can even modify WRK code to create their own runnable version of Windows.

Then in November, Microsoft released Windows CE6 for embedded systems. 0, and in the S private shared source plan, all its core code except for the graphical interface has been opened, so that mobile phone PDA and other related equipment manufacturers can modify and customize their own products dedicated to the CE system.

As an industry giant, Microsoft is naturally doing this not because of values such as "love peace and care for humanity", but because of business interests.

WRK was released for the need to cultivate new blood, and to capture college students is to capture future developers, and it is not excluded that it is to suppress ReactOS.

The full opening of CE is due to its situation in the market, unlike the mythical 90% share of XP on desktop systems (plus piracy), and the performance of CE on embedded systems is not good.

Hardware manufacturers will prefer various open source systems that can be easily modified and customized, such as Japan's TRON (Japanese home appliance company) or the more well-known Linux. Besides, both of these are free, CE5. Although most of the core code was opened at 0 time, the licensing fee of $3 per product was still very distressing for hardware manufacturers.

In order to promote CE, Microsoft itself spent more than a billion dollars on the "Venus Project" to promote WinCE-based Internet-enabled TV set-top boxes, but in the end it failed.

Whatever Microsoft's purpose, the documentation that comes with WRK has really helped Atletico a lot. Part of the Windows source code he obtained through brute force cracking and disassembly was really used because of this, so after October, Bee users were pleasantly surprised to find that the stability and compatibility of various new versions of Bee have been greatly improved.

However, "pretending to be a son" can only be impersonation after all, and Atletico Madrid never dared to reveal this relationship, so they did not hesitate to refuse Microsoft's acquisition invitation.

Atletico privately suspects that the reason why Microsoft came to talk about the acquisition is likely to be because of the excellent compatibility of the Bee series of software with Windows. Maybe they haven't begun to suspect that Bee Technology is using the leaked Windows code, maybe they just think it's a flash of genius, so they have the heart to recruit love, but Atletico Madrid, who is "a thief", doesn't dare to "marry" into the Microsoft family with Bee software.

In Bee Technology, he uses extremely poor readability machine code programming, which is the boss's talent, rare in the world, and the pride of the Chinese; but if he joins Microsoft and still does this, it will become a violation of the company's rules, and the end will definitely be a deduction of wages, dismissal for repeated teachings, and then a ban on touching the keyboard for many years (the prohibition clause in the same industry, using an extra salary to "forcibly buy" the employee's years of service after leaving, so as not to serve the departing employee for competitors).

In fact, as early as e7U just cracked out the source code of XP, he was deeply educated by "Thinking-Thinking-Politics-Governance" for many years, and Xiaoma classmates who often read "Current-Affairs-Politics-Governance" had the idea of donating this "Windows source code" to the country, of course, he didn't know that it was only a small part of the Windows source code at that time.

For basic security considerations, he did not stupidly directly spread hero posts to relevant units, but carefully selected a small hacker on the Internet, who is actually the largest number of "hackers" on the Internet who carry out various one-click attacks with the help of fool hacking tools, or "hacking tool enthusiasts".

Atletico carefully used the hacker's computer to send an e-mail to a well-known scientific research institute, which included a piece of supposedly exposed Windows source code as proof.

As a result, the little hacker was taken away by the Internet police to investigate the next day, and the little hacker later publicized this experience in the post bar and the forum, saying that he downloaded the win2000 leaked code and was reported by Microsoft, and then the police tea came to the door. The friends of the bar naturally don't believe it, only Atletico Madrid, who is silently following him, knows that this is true.

The young 18-year-old boy, Atletico Madrid, for the first time, deeply understood what is called a "vested interest group", although the scientific research team he contacted was the team that developed "an operating system with independent intellectual property rights", but independent intellectual property rights did not mean confrontation or even hostility with Microsoft, and he used to think too naïve about the relationship between the two.

After calming down, Atletico quickly understood what was going on: he was influencing other people's finances. From the perspective of "user experience" and "user habits", the open source Windows system is the natural enemy of various open source systems for ordinary users, and other open source Linux also needs to imitate the XP interface.

And open source Windows is controlled by Microsoft due to copyright regulations. Unless it is North Korea and Iran, which are hostile to the United States and completely ignore international patent agreements, and do it with the strength of the whole country, the open source window will never be played, and for the major countries, the use of windows can be restricted (Europe, America and South Korea), but they cannot be isolated from the open source windows that infringe the patent law, which will be a big loss.

In this way, even if the "WindowsXP source code" released by Atletico Madrid is obtained by the state, it is impossible for the state to use it for civilian use for the purpose of protecting copyright, but may therefore stop all R&D funds for "Linux systems with independent intellectual property rights", and instead make XP security version and hand it over to relevant departments for use.

This is contrary to Atletico Madrid's previous assumption, which wants to support independent intellectual property rights, but it has caused independent intellectual property projects to be suspended, and in the end, the public still needs to use the original Windows system or genuine or pirated.

Now that I think about it, Atletico Madrid can't help but feel a little smug and a little frightened, and he intentionally or unintentionally embarked on the road of developing an operating system with truly independent intellectual property rights.

He is proud because he has embarked on the route of a relatively easy mobile phone system, and the poor performance of the mobile phone hardware limits the function of the software system, but it also reduces the difficulty and is more suitable for novices on the road.

I am frightened because E7U plays a large role in these choices, and if you are not careful, E7U's "intuitive calculation" may replace itself.

Fortunately, for now, this concern seems to be unfounded...... For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
