It's better to act than to move, since Gates has been to Jiangnan seven times, ah don't go south to California to find herself for a while, Alice is naturally happy to start her final stage of the summer vacation tour immediately. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The first stop of info is, of course, to go north to Saiwai, and then to the Microsoft headquarters by car.

Except for running here and yelling a few times when it was first listed, Alice really hasn't been here for a long time. A small satellite city with a population of less than 50,000 is surrounded by green trees, but two world-class companies have settled here, and many times have come and gone without being to the Nintendo American branch almost opposite the door, Alice is really an incompetent teenager in the 80s.

After a period of development, the scale of the Microsoft headquarters building has naturally increased again, and like the vast majority of enterprises, especially those in the IT industry, no one has the will to build skyscrapers. Three or two three- and four-storey buildings are nestled at the foot of the green mountain, and they are all in the shape of four-cornered darts, and even the parking lot is set up in layers along the hillside.

But thinking about his current research in design, I think it's because he wants to build an excellent house that he is willing to put down programming books and look at something else?

Alice laughed silently.

"Gentlemen!" Gates shouted into the office of the NT project R&D team, which occupies a single building, "Look who's coming?"

There was a wide office, and there were dozens of employees as far as the eye could see, and many of them immediately cheered when they saw the girl who appeared immediately behind the big boss.

"Hey, isn't that Alice?"

"Alice, who? Alice, Ahhh, the one who keeps emailing you, the team leader?"

"Oh boss, why did you drag Alice to us again?

"Alice~ I read the Los Angeles Journal, you're going to build a 1,700-foot skyscraper!?"

"Five hundred and twenty-eight meters, but I was about to change it to six hundred and thirty-two meters, thank you. "The same thank you is also for the measurement standards of the United States and the British system, supplemented by the metric system, obviously the British themselves don't need it, but they are still playing double standards here, and some are also drunk.

The next step is indeed the time for condolences and inspection work, after all, many things can not be solved by email alone, and there are project team leaders and Gates and others in charge on weekdays, and the entire system is almost half completed at this time, and she, the technical consultant, has not yet appeared.

It is worth mentioning that unlike Pixar, Google and even Facebook, Microsoft's office environment is also the same as the win series products, which is a relatively rigid form.

Looking at this hundreds of square meters of office, although the wallpaper decoration and lighting modeling are very good, in terms of the work of the staff, it is just a long table side by side. Especially at this time, the hardware manufacturers have not yet built the LCD LED display, and such a bunch of pure screen big guys are swinging on the table, which is really a feeling of adding blockage to the heart.

"Very good, very good. On a computer provided exclusively for Alice, a diligent new employee loaded the beta NT system into it for her to experience.

"The systems are running fine, permissions, then account control, and of course, storage mode...... Yes, yes, that's good. ”

Then for half an hour, Alice checked the completeness of all the relevant functions, during which Gates and the task owner supplemented her. A desk, in front of a computer, two men and a woman gathered here, one breath is half a day without moving the place, other employees see it, but also remember it deeply.

"Oh my God, that's Alice Wang. Gary Aucma said excitedly: "I used to see her in the newspapers, and I heard that two days ago, she seemed to be involved in a shooting in Los Angeles?"

"It should be said that it is a strong x attempt and a shooting. Another colleague, Brown Delamore, said admiringly: "It's amazing, she's a girl, she's a programmer, and she's been able to chase that gun-wielding madman for a mile! I think even if she doesn't want to develop in Silicon Valley one day, she will have a gold medal at the Olympics." ”

"And have you noticed," at this time, it would be remarkable that a third of the people still had the heart to work: "She has such a rich life on weekdays, and she can always reply to the group leaders with quality and quantity." God, the problem that plagued us seven groups of nine people for three days, she actually solved it in just one night, and she still took the four, twelve, and eight groups with them!"

"Otherwise, why don't people go to work every day, they can still rely on technology to take more than 30% of our shares in Microsoft." The group leader spoke, with a look of envy: "She spends a few hours a night sending three or four emails, which is equivalent to the workload of dozens of people in our group for several days.

Thinking that this is the case, a group of budding newcomers can't help but tremble. A few emails in just a few hours is so efficient, if she really sits in front of the computer, typing code desperately for eight hours a day, whether it is to start her own company or make products for Microsoft, it is estimated that at least hundreds of employees will lose their jobs, right?

You know, even when she came to the door with the 1.0 system to find cooperation, many of the current employees had not joined Microsoft, but the working hours of a week were also reported by "Time" and other publications. Then, when half a year ago, Alice handed in the finished product every minute......

Regardless of when she started her own development, the fact that Boss Gates just finished talking about getting the results in just two weeks is also in front of everyone.

It is such a super genius who finally came to the NT R&D team to inspect the work on site, how can this group of elites who graduated from Caltech and MIT be calm down? After all, few of them are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers.

So soon, the company's second largest shareholder, the general technical adviser Alice Wang, was ready to speak after experiencing the beta version.

The huge office, hundreds of employees with six or seven rows of office seats, and the same number of members on the second floor, and the entire NT project team with 200 people, were all crowded to the first floor.

"Functionally, you guys did a great job. She opened her mouth to say this, the boss always likes to play with the connotation of his speech, and there are so many listeners, it is indispensable to have people who want to understand his will word by word.

"All the functions I listed in the general program have been successfully realized through the unremitting efforts of all of us. ”

"User account settings, workgroup power, rights and permissions, I believe that as IBM continues to work hard to popularize personal computers, the energy supply we developed for the server field will also be transplanted to ordinary home computers. So, comrades, we really need to be clear about what this paragraph means for the company. ”

These are clichés, and those employees who are good at figuring out the will of the leader are aware of it. Although Alice talked a lot about it, it was basically an existing concept that gradually permeated the whole company during her daily work. Can such a genius girl make a speech, can she say such boring things?

"So, we at Microsoft are also facing a challenge. ”

Sure enough, the boss's words have connotations, and some employees couldn't help but smile proudly. As for Alice, she took a stack of papers from Gates.

What is that?

Many people can't help but probe to explore.

"Look," Alice said, letting go of her hand.

There was a clatter, and dozens of pieces of paper were scattered to the ground, and each page was densely filled with stuff.

Everyone sensed that the atmosphere was not good, and wisely kept their mouths shut.

"The above is the record of users' complaints about our products after the release of the 3.0 system. ”

"And you have to note that these records don't have any complaints about the stability of the system, they are all complaints about bugs in their internal applications," she said calmly. For example, this one, "A piece of paper fluttered back into her hand as soon as she picked up her high heels: "I'm just dissatisfied with the intermittent collapse of Word, Bill, which building is the office team from?"

Gates whispered something to her, which was not something that everyone in the room could hear.

"Then there were stacks about twice as many, and forgive Bill for not bringing them. Alice continued: "It's a complaint about the 2.0 system, and half of the thickness of that stack is a complaint about the ease of use and stability of the system itself. ”

These words faintly piggybacked the whole company, and the old employees of the NT team present immediately noticed the smell.

Written by Alice herself, and the 3.0 system, users have no complaints about the system, but constantly complain about the application software that is portable by other employees. As for the 2.0 system, everyone knows that it is a "crystallization of the wisdom of all Microsoft employees", and it is also the worst sprayed in the current three phases of products.

Everyone wisely chose to remain silent and listened carefully to what the big guy had to say.

"The lessons from the past are here, and the company's current products have a very big loophole, that is, there are too many loopholes. After a moment of conversation, Alice continued: "So, I don't want the product that our two hundred employees are working on together will have the same problem with NT. ”

As she spoke, she patted the computer and said, "As early as the beginning of the project, the company positioned it as a long-term project, and a year and a half is nothing." Beta version yes, then let's continue to test, and 3.0 is also out, the most important thing for server-oriented platforms is stability. Next, I'm going to have Howard assign you the task of reducing that damn redundant code for the next six months!"
