Chapter 239: Another Microsoft Next
Chapter 239: Another Microsoft? under
ps: There is a mistake in the last chapter, the land certificate sold in the United States, the price is $1888 per copy, I wrote it as $188, missing an 8, fortunately reminded by a book friend. However, the VIP chapters that have been uploaded cannot be modified, sorry!!
Of course,This is not a more tragic thing,What's more tragic is,I closed it in a small black room in the middle of the night to finish the word,I actually found that I can't access the Internet,Well,After the cat's serious experiment,I found that the mobile phone can barely be updated,This cat is trying hard,If you see it,That's the upload is successful,If you don't see it,So what......
At that time in 94, it was the era when WPS was in full swing, and it was also in that year that Microsoft's word began to go to China.
In fact, seriously speaking, the word of the year compared with the WPS of the same era,It doesn't have much advantage,WPS even has some advantages,After all,94 years when windows95 was not available。 And the development of Chinese word processing system, Chinese programmers have a greater advantage, two, at most half a pound, even with the strength of Microsoft, in 94 years, in terms of Chinese word processing system software alone, Bill and dare not pretend to say that word is more powerful than WPS.
But the good times didn't last long, and the cups began to come.
At that time in 94, Microsoft was interested in entering the domestic market, and at that time, Microsoft took the initiative to find Kingsoft, hoping to be compatible with Kingsoft's WPS in terms of document format.
We can imagine how it felt like Microsoft, as the world's most famous technology company at that time and a well-deserved hegemon in the field of general software, to take the initiative to find Kingsoft, Qiu Bojun and other employees of Kingsoft, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was flattered.
At that time, Kingsoft didn't realize how much of a secret the WPS format was, of course, maybe they didn't think of or didn't want to use the WPS format as a means to lock users, or Microsoft's name was too deterrent, so that they didn't have the courage to refuse at all, so the two sides didn't even sit on the negotiating table, Kingsoft quickly succumbed to Microsoft, and reached an agreement with Microsoft, which seemed simple and couldn't be simpler, but also laid the root cause for the decline of WPS.
The content of this agreement, which at the time seemed to be without any problems, was quite simple, that is, both sides read each other's files through the middle layer of their own software, that is, the RTF format.
At that time, Kingsoft was still very complacent because of its cooperation with Microsoft, after all, not everyone has such qualifications to cooperate with the industry leader. Moreover, although the content of this agreement is simple, it puts Kingsoft and Microsoft on the same footing, that is, Qiu Bojun can't be excited if he wants to. Moreover, there did not seem to be any loopholes at that time, and even if you look at this agreement today, it cannot be said that there are obvious loopholes, and at that time, those who did not agree were fools.
Soon after the agreement between the two sides was reached, soon, the global operating system completed the transition from the DOS system to Windows, and the Windows95 developed by Microsoft on the basis of the DOS system dominated the global operating system market with a great advantage.
The loss of WPS users, naturally also caused the inevitable decline of Kingsoft, at that time, this business can be described as Kingsoft's cash cow, unfortunately, the cash cow soon became a money tree, after dominating the operating system market, with Microsoft's continuous upgrade of Office, it also forced Kingsoft to spend a lot of energy to upgrade WPS, Microsoft does not care about the R & D costs of upgrading software, but for Kingsoft, it is a huge burden on the body, and this burden is like carrying a stone down the mountainFrom the beginning of the signing of that agreement, it was destined that Kingsoft would continue to carry it back, coupled with rampant piracy in China, pirated software emerged in an endless stream, and software developers like Kingsoft naturally inevitably declined.
In fact, after reading this case, we have reason to believe that Microsoft found Kingsoft in the first place, in fact, it was premeditated, they may have expected the subsequent situation, the reason why they found Kingsoft is to hope that through the bridge of WPS-RTF-DOS, with the minimum cost to convert the domestic WPS to Microsoft's Word users.
Microsoft's strategic layout is based on the fact that they will soon be able to develop a Windows operating system independent of the DOS system.
Of course, the development of Jinshan can also be described as ups and downs, a few years later, after all, there are business opportunities, this is a later story, not to mention for the time being. However, if there was no binding of this agreement, presumably Jinshan would be different, and the domestic Chinese processing system would also be a different situation. Perhaps, Liu Xun has developed another operating habit.
At the very least, with the secret of the WPS format, Kingsoft can sit on the ground and open his mouth, grasp Microsoft's determination in this strategic layout at that time, and definitely be able to gnaw a bite of meat from Microsoft, and it is a big mouthful of meat.
Thinking of this, Liu Xun didn't know what to think, his eyes suddenly lit up, WPS, word, DOS, windows95, connecting these together, Liu Xun felt that he seemed to grasp something.
What is it? What is it? Liu Xun's brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, and he faintly felt that he seemed to have some wonderful ideas, and it was a wonderful idea that could have a great impact on him, but it was a pity that the inspiration just now disappeared without a trace.
And what? Liu Xun casually opened and closed the WPS form, closed and opened, his brows were always furrowed and not expanded, and he didn't even notice that Zhou Huiwen came into the study lightly and added him a cup of tea. After going back and forth like this more than a dozen times, Liu Xun's eyes finally lit up, and he finally knew what he had just thought of, but after thinking about it, this kid immediately burst out with a foul language, fuck me!!
I'm really fucking stupid, Liu Xun scolded himself in his heart.
What year is it? It's only 92 years now.
When will Microsoft's Windows 95 come out? Grass, stupid x knows, nature will not come out until 95 years.
'95, '92, doesn't that mean that the advent of Windows is still three years away.
Three years, that's a long time, hehe, isn't there a chance for yourself? And, is there a big opportunity?
The reason why I scolded myself just now is because Liu Xun felt that he was too stupid before, but he didn't expect this, and he didn't even let Cisco go, and he actually left the predator of Microsoft behind, isn't this stupid?
Of course, Microsoft and Cisco are still a little different, Cisco is just starting out at this moment, and its market value is only more than 600 million US dollars when it takes over, and it can still take over with a little effort, but Microsoft is different, Microsoft has established its hegemony in the industry at the moment, and it is already a behemoth, and it is impossible for it to be in the bag, which is why I have not considered this aspect before.
But if you can't take Microsoft into your pocket, that doesn't mean you can't intervene, Liu Xun laughed lewdly in his heart.
Hehe, since the advent of Windows 95 in 95, no one has been able to beat Microsoft in the field of operating systems and general software, and the root cause is that Microsoft has developed a graphical operating system independent of DOS.
In fact, www.xstxt.orgs-dos builds a graphical operating system application, called www.xstxt.orgs-dos, which is not very well built, which is why www.xstxt.orgs-dos is not separated from dos.
On July 27, 1993, Microsoft launched Windows 3.1, a graphical operating system based on OS/2, which should be said to be a graphical operating system based on www.xstxt.orgs-dos.
Of course, before the advent of Windows 95, Microsoft's operating system was the world's mainstream operating system, and in May 1990, Microsoft released Windows 3.0 system, which sold 3 million units in the first year. In April '92, it released Windows 3.1, and within two months of its release, the software sold three million units, and it remained the number one operating system until Windows 95 took over in 1995.
However, we must realize that the advent of windoes95 is the key to Microsoft's domination of the operating system market, which is a revolution for Microsoft and a revolution in the development of operating systems around the world.
Before the advent of Windows 95, there were several families of operating systems that could compete with the Windows family, such as the Linux family, but after 95 years, with this DOS-independent graphics operating system, Microsoft has a share of about 90% in the global desktop market, and at the same time has a wide range of applications in the low-end server market, such as web servers and database servers.
Since 1985, Microsoft launched Windows 1.0, which originally ran in the DOS environment, including Windows 3.0, Windows 3.1, Windows 3.2, and at that time it had been bundled with www.xstxt.orge, windowsnt, windowsxp and so on.
As for what Liu Xun thought, it was naturally plugged in before the advent of windows95.
Hehe, Microsoft can develop an independent graphics operating system, others may not be able to, Liu Xun did not have such confidence before, but now with the acquisition of Cisco, there can be a large number of software engineers and programmers, Liu Xun has such confidence.
Of course, his biggest confidence is not Cisco, but himself.
You must know that Liu Xun passed the fourth level of computer C language when he was in college. There was only a computer grade test in China since 94, and Liu Xun should be regarded as one of the earlier computer masters in China.
Compared with those software engineers with professional backgrounds, Liu Xun may have some shortcomings, but he has his own advantages, and his vision and insight are far from being comparable to programmers of this era.
Moreover, more than 10 years later, the design analysis and source code of windows95 on the Internet is no longer a secret, even Microsoft does not think that there is a need for secrecy, in the forums of some programming enthusiasts, you can often see discussions, Liu Xun also studied for a period of time at that time, now think about it, if you recall it yourself, you can still remember some of it, plus those programmers and software engineers of Cisco, hehe......
