Chapter 590: Unite

Li Feiteng is not the first company to sue Microsoft for monopoly, and in the process of Microsoft's growth to today, it has experienced many lawsuits, but none of them have stopped Microsoft's monopoly.

Because the federal court can't figure out what to do with Microsoft.

If a company is a company that sells well, it must be prevented from operating, and that it is monopolized by others, and evidence must be presented.

Even if you come up with evidence, Microsoft has its own explanation plan and method.

For example, the well-known Netscape company, a browser company, sued Microsoft Internet Explorer last year for infringing on the market in their field, which is a monopoly behavior, and IE services should be stopped.

Netscape, in 1998, has been acquired by MG Online AOL, that is, Times Media Group, and now AOL is acting as an agent for Netscape and fighting a monopoly lawsuit with Microsoft Group.

Li Feiteng has also been paying attention to this matter, it is said that in order to delay time, Microsoft found a full 120,000 pages of rebuttal materials to prove that they are innocent and have no monopoly, and they developed Internet Explorer because users need it, not because they want to rob others of their jobs.

That's right, it's 120,000 pages, and it took the federal court a team of hundreds of people and months to read all of Microsoft's rebuttals.

The federal court read it, but Microsoft Group applied for an adjournment, and this delay is delayed until this year.

Recently, Microsoft has come up with a survey report of more than 100,000 IE users, and the results show that users find it more convenient to use IE.

From this, Microsoft has come up with a suitable excuse for its monopoly. It is that the user feels that he needs to connect to the Internet through guòIE. That's why Microsoft updated the browser's services in the system.

Moreover. Microsoft doesn't think it has a monopoly because they don't prevent Netscape or other companies from installing and using browsers that users can download to their desktops if they want to use them.

And in this regard, Netscape surface, this is Microsoft's forcible binding of IE. The usage habits generated by the user. If Microsoft didn't bind IE, users wouldn't have relied on IE at all, but they couldn't find evidence that Microsoft bound IE, so the case was shelved.

Li Feiteng synthesized the reasons for Netscape's failure to sue Microsoft, and he thought about the antitrust he sued Microsoft, which seems to lack some evidence to support it.

The federal court will not force such a big charge on Microsoft's head, and in the end, whether Google can succeed in prosecuting or not depends on evidence.

Netscape, Inc.

"HP, Dell. How did Khambo respond to us?"

Netscape President Puli, he asked the secretary anxiously.

The secretary said, "They said. It's something between us and Microsoft and don't want to get involved. ”

Puley sighed, he finally caught the evidence of Microsoft's secret cooperation with several major PC manufacturers and the binding of IE, as long as they can come forward to testify, this time they can completely defeat Microsoft, and the monopoly lawsuit can be won.

The Internet catastrophe, the opportunity must not be lost again, Microsoft's reputation has finally had a big problem, if you add the monopoly to sit down, it will be much more honest in the future, and will no longer think about what browsers to do, what software services.

However, fantasy is fantasy, reality is reality, and the non-cooperation of several manufacturers really makes Puli heartbroken.

"Mr. President, King Lee has come to see you. ”

"What, how did he come to me?"

"Please, no, let's go and invite him. ”

Pooley doesn't know what Fei Teng Lee will do to him, but judging from the Google Group's recent expression of hostility to Microsoft, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, even the Google Group is also making software, it is a competitor, but it is far less terrible than Microsoft.

"President Pooley, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Li Feiteng took a female secretary to the reception room with him, and they sat down, and the female secretaries stood next to them.

Pooley asked directly, "King Lee, what are you looking for me?"

"You also know that our Google Group is also preparing to sue Microsoft for antitrust, and your Netscape is also fighting this lawsuit with Microsoft, I think everyone should join forces and discuss how to deal with Microsoft. ”

Li Feiteng said with a smile, he came this time to learn from the experience and ask, and wanted to know some evidence held by Netscape.

Pooley was very happy to hear this, and he said: "Of course, I am happy to work with King Lee, but I don't know if the Google Group has caught some evidence, after all, the federal court only believes in evidence." ”

"Evidence, I can't say no, Microsoft is ready to bind MSN in Huaxia, as well as binding desktop tools, these should be monopolistic behaviors, right?"

Li Feiteng asked with a smile.

Puley shook his head and said: "These can't be considered evidence, they can find hundreds of thousands of users to do a survey, and then say that users need MSN, that's why they updated MSN, Microsoft is despicable, this, I know very well." ”

"Oh, well, I wonder if Mr. Pooley has found good evidence?" asked Li Feiteng.

Puley thought for a while, and still said: "The evidence is there, but it is not in our hands, and it needs to be testified by famous PC manufacturers such as HP, Dell, and Combo." ”

"Oh, what do they have to do with Microsoft's monopoly?"

"They are bound to IE on the factory computer system, and they have signed a lot of confidentiality agreements, in short, Microsoft should have given them a lot of benefits, otherwise they should stand up and testify, the reality is, they rejected me. ”

When Li Feiteng heard this, he asked, "Is there such a cooperation between IBM and Microsoft?"

"Yes, there is!" Purley thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively.

"If that's the case, I'm at least confident that IBM will come forward and testify. ”

Pooley shook his head and said: "IBM will not testify for Microsoft, IBM is a monopoly empire, and the relationship with Microsoft is very close, which is absolutely impossible." ”

"Oh, is it?" Li Feiteng smiled and said, "Even if they have a close relationship with each other, then I will make them enemies." ”

Purley listened, and looked at him a little strangely, and said that there was nothing wrong with King Li's head, how could IBM make a change because of him.

……

After leaving Netscape, Li Feiteng was not in a hurry to return to China, he went to IBM headquarters.

Gerstner is president of IBM and a director of Google Group.

Although IBM reduced its stake in Google Group after the disaster, their production and sales increased a lot after the disaster.

Internet security is a huge loss, but rebuilding after a disaster is also a good time for hardware manufacturers to capture the market.

The bankruptcy of network companies does not mean that the sales of servers and PCs will decline, but will increase, and the security and anti-virus industry will boom at the same time.

These can be regarded as some of the positive benefits brought by Li Feiteng. (To be continued......)
