If you want to say that Gates is not a dazzling person, Alice, who is a person who has come over, will not believe it if she is killed, so sure enough, this thirty-year-old handsome uncle immediately entered a state of excitement. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I've already bought a piece of land in Seattle, it's on the eastern shore of Lake Washington, a piece of land of more than 66,000 acres, and it's only sold for two million!"

"Oh, that's amazing. Alice calmly sipped the fresh orange juice, at least forty percent of her attention was on the construction site of the building outside the window: "What about the building materials? Since you build a house in a place where birds don't on the shore of the lake, you definitely won't choose reinforced concrete, right?"

"Of course, how can you use that material? Already in a state of excitement, Gates couldn't afford to eat, and God knows how much inspiration he had added to his future home, and he couldn't wait to show off to Alice.

"I'm going to make it all wood, but of course it's not going to be made of ordinary wood. After all, it was also a land that was only bought, and many combinations that only existed after they were built, and Gates also had to think for a long time to come up with: "To use the kind of wood that is very old, I am more optimistic about Douglas fir, and it must be at least two hundred years old, what do you think?"

"Oh, don't ask me about that. Alice said: "I'm a pure fan of modern technology, and if I do, it's going to be made of carbon fiber, which I don't even feel." ”

"Carbon, carbon fiber?" was an inexplicable word, and Gates was a little bluffed. However, after all, this is his special show: "Okay, no matter what fiber you have, anyway, I decided to use all the more than 200-year-old Douglas fir trees for flooring!"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh. ”

"Of course, Alice, this hedonism of yours is also in common with me. It's rare to be chatting with his peers, rather than discussing advanced topics with someone like the aunt next door who doesn't understand stupidity, and Gates really has his new home in mind.

"You see, I'm from a software background, and your Cisco is the leader in network construction, so if we put our new home ...... I mean, how about a special futuristic makeover of my home?"

Futuristic, this word should be considered modern for Alice, well, of course, it doesn't mean to pick words, as long as the meaning is the same.

"I can give you direct advice on this. ”

It's so easy and hassle-free, Alice says, "I just recently came up with a new word called smart home. Hmph, it should be considered my original, have you heard it from other colleagues?"

"Smart ...... No," it's funny to say, new concepts such as the Internet of Things are often proposed by Silicon Valley bigwigs, but at this time, Gates, as one of the "proposers", was bluffed by Alice: "Don't let me guess, you can explain it directly!"

"Hmm~ The so-called smart home, first of all, is based on a lofty goal, that is, all kinds of electrical appliances in the home can be equipped with computer chips, with a microcomputer energy supply. ”

This sentence is enough to make Gates think deeply and nod his head constantly. In the past few years, IBM and HP have been seen by their peers in their efforts, computer miniaturization is the trend of the times, according to the law proposed by the current chairman of Intel, Alice's big premise can indeed be realized soon.

"It will probably take about 2000," he muttered, "and it looks like I'm going to have to take a few days to build my house?"

Alice chuckled softly, "I said man, don't just think about the house, don't you see that I'm proposing an emerging market?"

They are all geniuses with high IQs, and the dissonance is only a moment's work, and after thinking about it, Gates immediately followed Alice's rhythm: "Oh, yes, this is indeed an emerging market, are you interested in developing here?"

The girl smiled and leaned back in her chair and happily sipped juice: "Computerize household appliances, then connect them with network devices, and let users control them with an operating system. Bill, are you thinking about those areas?"

"Intel's chip research and development, Cisco's network hardware development, Microsoft's NT project is taking shape...... Ah~" Gates followed the train of thought provided by Alice and came to a conclusion that made him suddenly: "No wonder you can come up with this kind of smart home idea, isn't this exactly the field you are engaged in!"

"If I count the time, I should be back at Eton in September. However, Alice suddenly changed the subject, but it seemed that the content was still revolving around her and Gates: "So in the end, this whole August, I have to go to Silicon Valley and of course Redmond." Anyway, I have the title of technical consultant in so many shareholding companies, and I should finally do my best~"

It is as if someone is about to return to heaven.

"Lockheed, have you been found lately?"

Gates suddenly asked such a question, Alice shrugged her shoulders and said, "Oh, at least let me go to Maryland again, at most it's just a bunch of emails that don't end, what's the problem?"

"Some time ago, little Lockheed approached me. "After all, the programming of military aircraft and missiles is a big project, and they want to reach an initial partnership with Microsoft to provide support for some programmatic things," Gates said. ”

This is no small matter, Alice immediately put down the cup and said, "When is it?"

"That is, five days ago, they sent me an email, and I haven't announced it to the company yet. Alice, you have some connections in Lockheed and they didn't inform you directly?"

"Oh, that's normal, you're the boss of Microsoft. Alice waved her hand disapprovingly, "What I'm concerned about now is that the Ministry of Defense knows what?"

"As a veteran arms dealer, Lockheed really has a lot of connections in military and political circles. Gates analyzed: "Washington's affairs are to us something from another world. Who knows how those politicians deal with these messy relationships, maybe Lockheed let their lawmakers lobby in the Department of Defense, and then attract others to take the initiative to let Lockheed cooperate with Microsoft?"

It's really too difficult for a purely technical otaku to understand the affairs of the political world. After all, Gates was only in his early thirties at this time, and it was when he spent four-fifths of the seven days a week typing on the keyboard, how could he have the time to study those?

"In the end, the scale of our development is not enough, especially in terms of history, in the end, half of the people in Silicon Valley are actually nouveau riche. Alice shrugged her shoulders with empathy: "Although the IT industry is indeed very high, when it comes to building contacts in the political circles, those traditional industries are hundreds of years ahead of us, and they can't compare~"

Gossip is enough here, the chairman of Microsoft put aside the work at hand, and went all the way south to California to meet with Alice, of course, not just for greetings and chatter. After eating, it's time to go back to the room - there is no conspiracy, no bang - the two of them still have serious work to do.

"NT project here, oh my goodness......"

In the room, handing the materials to Alice, Gates stretched his waist first: "It's almost done, at least half of your credit is here!"

Watching Alice take the information, he suddenly felt the urge to never want to move.

Because, this big project is really a toss-up.

Alice hasn't been to Redmond for a long time, but that doesn't mean Microsoft's expansion is stagnating, although almost all of the big orders so far have been made by it. If you want to say that Cisco has been established for three years, and now it has recruited thousands of employees as a listed company, accounting for no less than two buildings, then the scale of Microsoft is certainly not small, after all, it is also a post-IPO existence.

Two hundred, the company's current third-largest shareholder, Paul Allen recruited for the NT project team, and it would take a lot of office space to stuff this group of young men. From the very beginning of this project, everyone in the company knew that it was going to be a time-consuming project.

After all, there is a huge difference between a server-oriented Internet operating system and a system purely for PCs, i.e., the DOS of the past and the ~3.0 of today.

First, employees need to develop a new type of file system. Named after Alice's email, it's called NTFS, or Windows-New-Technology-File-System, which provides secure access control and fault tolerance, and is much more efficient than the old FAT on high-capacity disks.

Then, the programmer sets up a sharing system and sets certain permissions for network resources. In turn, they need to create the concept of user accounts, after all, for a server computer, not everyone has the right to use all the resources.

Then there's the domain, which is the basic unit of data security and centralized management, i.e., the integration of an infinite number of servers with NT systems, and a group of computers sharing the same account and security database. With the concept of domains and, of course, work groups, in a network structure where resources and system management are dispersed, each computer has a peering relationship, which can be a server or a workstation.

Then there's the issue of entitlements, which allow an administrator to authorize a user to perform certain actions on the system in order to protect the system as a whole. The logical laws of mathematics are evident here, and with rights comes the concept of permissions, which dictates who can use an object and how to use it.

In addition, the various security audit projects are even more complicated to the point that it is almost crazy. You know, Microsoft itself was a direct victim of the original "exchangegate", although IBM has been honest recently, but which employee does not take this as a top priority?

Therefore, Alice also directly turned the report to the most important part: "The security protocol is ...... here"

Gates raised his eyebrows: "How's it going?"

What do you think?

How much can Alice expect from a group of ordinary programmers?

"It's too redundant~"
