Bill thought about it and immediately asked Microsoft to hold a press conference.

At the press conference, he personally apologized to many Internet IT companies. Acknowledging that Microsoft has done product binding on the Windows platform, however, this is definitely not their intention, but the user needs.

In addition to that, Microsoft made three promises.

The first is to allow PC manufacturers to have more control over Windows.

Second, Windows will hide Internet Explorer in future versions.

Third, more Windows source code will be published openly, so that third-party software companies can obtain more rights.

Microsoft's press conference appeared to be very sincere, and Bill told the public over and over again.

They are definitely not trying to monopolize Microsoft, but just to pursue perfection.

Of course, Bill's approach, in Li Feiteng's case, is simply acting, in order to win the court's leniency.

However, the federal court did not change the verdict that had been negotiated because of Bill's approach, and on April 26, it officially announced the punishment for Microsoft, with no fine, only divided into two.

Splitting into two is to make Microsoft two companies, one responsible for Windows system development, the other responsible for software products, and the two companies have nothing to do with each other. At the same time, the federal court explained this penalty because in the process of Microsoft's development, due to its monopolistic behavior, it has led to the unfair development model of the Internet industry, severely blocked the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and has caused the development of the entire network technology industry. Therefrom. That's why such a severe punishment was made.

Monopolies are actually not a good thing. Because monopoly means that an industry will not have a hundred schools of thought competing for glory and thriving development, strict zhòng hinders the progress of an industry.

However, for monopoly enterprises and organizations, it can be very profitable.

After the official verdict of Microsoft was split in two, the news of the bombing shocked the world again!

Who would have thought that the federal court would really break up Microsoft!

Although the media has been competing to report it, although Li Feiteng also delusionally thought that Microsoft would be split, he did not expect the magnesium federation to be so powerful. Didn't actually maintain Microsoft!

But many people said that at a critical time, the White House government will definitely step in to prevent such a thing from happening.

However, at present, the White House has not released any opinions, and even when President George W. Bush talked about the Microsoft antitrust case in an interview with the media, he said that the country is a free, fair and democratic country with a set of laws and regulations in the world. They will not arbitrarily interfere with the judgment of the judiciary.

The president's statement made Li Feiteng also shocked. Could it be that because of his radical change in history, Microsoft is really going to be brought down by him in one fell swoop?

The media has focused on Microsoft, with TV stations and newspapers broadcasting about Microsoft's history.

This phenomenon made Li Feiteng feel that no matter how bullish the company was, it turned out that it would also go to ruin one day!

No, Microsoft is not broken, it is just split in two, and the two companies jointly own the Microsoft trademark. However, even so, many experts say that Microsoft's future, without a monopoly to maintain its position, will be defeated by Internet companies from all over the world and more IT geniuses, including Li Feiteng's Google and Yang Zhiyuan's Yahoo.

The Microsoft empire, which influenced a generation, has finally collapsed!

It's over, the era of a Microsoft empire?

These media reports have made many people who don't know the truth think that the Microsoft anti-monopoly case is completely over.

But things are far from being as simple as in the news, and Li Feiteng is also waiting for the final answer, because Microsoft has never responded, unless you really see Bill's positive response and Microsoft really split, otherwise these news reports are meaningless.

……

As for Bill Gates, he only used the first contingency plan, apparently not preventing the verdict.

But he had a second plan, and Bill came to Time Warner.

Stephen Case, a $38.3 million annual president, is at the helm of the world's largest media and Internet group.

Because of him, AOL and Times Media have been integrated, and Netscape is also a holding subsidiary of Time Warner.

"Stephen, we're meeting again. ”

Bill came to meet with Stephen in person, and he said enthusiastically.

"Yes, Mr. Bill, I'm afraid you're here for an antitrust case. ”

Stephen smiled very bluntly, he didn't expect that with the assistance of King Lee, he really won Microsoft.

It's just that he doesn't know what to do if he wins, but Bill will definitely give him a perfect answer when he comes this time.

"Mr. Stephen, Netscape has only occupied less than 5% of the market in the browser market, in fact, this is already a worthless company, although this is caused by our Microsoft, but it is true that users only remember our Internet Explorer, so the era of the hegemony of Firefox has passed. Therefore, even if we Microsoft are split in two, Netscape will not develop.

Can Netscape beat Microsoft?

No, it can't.

Mr. Stephen, you and I are both smart people, and there is no commercial capitalist who wants to monopolize such a thing, even if you are Time Warner Media, and you are looking for an opportunity to dominate again. I just want to say that this lawsuit is not good for you or me, you win the case and you don't get anything from Microsoft, but if you are willing to withdraw the lawsuit, I have a check for $600 million here, and I think you can invest in any industry with that $1 billion, which is worth a lot more than Netscape......"

After Bill finished speaking, he took a filled check out of his pocket and handed it to Stephen.

Stephen smiled slightly, didn't say anything, didn't say anything, and accepted the check for $600 million.

……

After sending Bill away, Stephen clutched the $600 million in his hand in a daze.

Indeed, after winning the lawsuit, even if Microsoft is split in two, it seems that Time Warner will not get so many benefits, but if the lawsuit is withdrawn.

Looking at the $600 million, Stephen's breathing was also a little tight, you must know that $600 million is definitely not a small amount, even he, without ten years of hard work, would not have such a large fortune.

"Even if Netscape wins the lawsuit, a company that has no future might as well accept the benefits of this wealth. ”

Stephen thought for a moment, and he put the check in his pocket. (To be continued......)
