Chapter 189: Arcade
He didn't seem to be as worried as the others, but he seemed to have thought of a solution.
"The biggest code?"
Bill didn't let him go on right away, but was thinking about Microsoft's own strengths.
To say that Microsoft's advantages are much more than those of other countries. For one, Microsoft's operating system has spread all over the world. Basically, 98% of ordinary users use Windows. Moreover, users have developed certain habits in the past few years when using Windows, which is Microsoft's biggest advantage.
However, can this advantage keep Microsoft undefeated?
However, the emergence of a Tang Dynasty kernel is very likely to be used by various countries to create an operating system that is no less than Microsoft. Some countries can even build a more powerful operating system than Windows Entertainment. In the face of the operating system developed by the country, I believe that it is still very attractive to the local people. Microsoft's market share will continue to weaken at that time. Seemingly, this is the final ending.
"Say, let's say, what else do we have the biggest magic code."
Bill thought about it for a long time, but still didn't think about it, so he wanted to hear Int's opinion.
This is Microsoft's CCO, that is, the chief culture officer, and his position is to build Microsoft's culture. It should be said that it seems that Yite has not directly brought profits to Microsoft in terms of performance. However, the profits of indirect xìng are simply countless. To date, Bill has not been able to evaluate the economic contribution that Bill has made to Microsoft.
"Patents."
Unhurried, he said to Bill.
"Patents."
When it comes to the word patent, the members of the conference hall look at me and I look at you, and they don't seem to understand much.
Since its development, Microsoft has applied for tens of thousands of patents. Many companies have Microsoft's shadow in their operating systems, especially the Linux operating system. Not long ago, the company was debating whether it was necessary to sue Linux systems. It's just that the Internet regulations are not very perfect today, and the Linux system itself is an open source and free product. Even if Microsoft wants to sue, I am afraid it does not know if it can win this lawsuit. After all, internet laws are not yet very sound.
Now that the word patent is mentioned again, all members do not know what they want to express. Do you want to rely on the current patents to bring down those system companies that use the core of the Tang Dynasty? Seemingly, this seems a little naïve. You know, these companies are all world-class enterprises. It also has a close relationship with Microsoft.
"Yes, I'm talking about patents."
Facing a lot of skeptical eyes, Yite continued, "The Tang Dynasty kernel has just been released, and it will take a lot of time for countries to make a qualified operating system. For us at Microsoft, if we unite with the world's major technology companies in the past three or four years to exert some pressure on the government on Internet infringement laws and regulations. Perhaps, in the past three or four years, as long as a few key laws and regulations have been introduced, it will be great news for us at Microsoft......"
No matter how strong the core program of the Tang Dynasty is, it only provides a powerful heart, and as for the flesh and bones, the interface still needs to be written by programmers from all over the world. So, what kind of desktop-class operating system are they building?
If you build a completely innovative operating system that is completely different from today's Windows. Can ordinary users still get used to the operation? In other words, if the members of each country are smart, they can make an operating system that is exactly the same as Microsoft's Windows interface. So, the problem arises. That is, there is a possibility of infringement of operating systems in various countries.
If we look at the current laws and regulations, it may be difficult to define. However, the protection of intellectual property rights is now becoming more and more important to the world. As long as the government makes more efforts, I believe that the problem of property rights disputes will be well resolved by then. In this way, even if Microsoft's market share decreases, it will be able to rely on copyright income to make up for its losses.
"You're so smart."
Hearing Int's analysis, Bill instantly came to his senses.
In fact, this trick is not unique to Microsoft.
When it comes to copyright issues, Apple uses this trick every day. Although Apple's market share is not very good today, Apple has always been a unique innovative concept, which has always attracted much attention from the market. And the patents that Apple has obtained are simply innumerable. Right now, Apple still has a lawsuit with Microsoft that has not been resolved. While not all infringements are routine, Apple has been able to win lawsuits. However, there are only one or two wins. For Apple, it can also get a huge patent fee.
In the future, Microsoft can learn from Apple. After all, there are many places where Microsoft's desktop system has been patented. It's just that these patents, although they have his legal effect. However, when it comes to implementation, there is a lack of certain legal support. Nowadays, there is a lack of effective laws and regulations on the Internet to reflect the value of these patents.
After the meeting, the stock market closed, and Microsoft released its 2001 annual report forecast that evening.
Forecast data shows that whether it is year-on-year or month-on-month, Microsoft's earnings have increased significantly. Especially for the emerging markets of Asia, countries such as China have seen rapid sales growth. And this growth rate is expected to continue in the next three to four years. The company made a total profit of $300 million, and planned a dividend plan of ten distributions of ten yuan.
The great success of the annual report suddenly made retail investors ecstatic.
Yesterday's super large number of escapes did not resist the fanatical hearts of retail investors. These retail investors are not fools, and they don't know how many financially savvy professionals there are. Judging from the current situation, Microsoft's rapid growth performance will have to be maintained for three or four years. Even if there is a Tang Dynasty kernel in the market now, but didn't there be a Linux before? At that time, the market was also clamoring for the Linux system to unify the operating system market in the future. However, so many years have passed. Linux is still linux, and Microsoft has broken into every personal PC in the world.
The current core of the Tang Dynasty must be the same as Linux, with loud thunder and small raindrops.
With such an understanding, it seems quite reasonable. It's just that how do they know what will happen to the changes brought about by a Tang Dynasty core? The next day, amid the enthusiastic expectations of countless retail investors, some fund companies began to take the opportunity to speculate. Microsoft's stock began to rise against the market, although it did not recover the original market, but this market is very fast, and many retail investors have made some profits. It's just that they don't want to sell so quickly.
In the days that followed, Microsoft stock sang all the way, recovering lost ground in the form of a big red column. Such an ending has triggered a lot of media reports. Some media claim that with the development of the securities market. In particular, with the development of the securities industry system, the contradictions between fund companies and listed companies have become increasingly prominent...... The meaning of the report is almost that there are contradictions between listed companies and fund companies, and they do not cooperate with each other, inverting countless institutional judgment errors.
It means that the last time Tianliang escaped, it was the judgment of the institution that was wrong.
As for yes or no, no one will tell you the answer. It's worth noting, though. Soros's Quantum Fund and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Fund have managed to escape from Microsoft. Not only did they succeed in untying it, but they also won a huge difference in Microsoft's self-help this time.
……
Return to China.
It seems that Microsoft is not moving.
After the release of the Tang Dynasty kernel, Chen Jiayi has been observing Microsoft's movements. It can be said that Microsoft is the only strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty operating system to enter the market, which has to make Chen Jia pay extra attention. It just looks like Microsoft is after the release of the Tang Dynasty kernel. There is no movement from Microsoft in the market. It seems that Microsoft is doing business as usual right now. How to operate, or how to operate.
Something is wrong, Chen Jiayi thought secretly.
"Xiaojia, what do you want, what else can't you let go of during the New Year."
Another year is coming, and Chen Jiayi has been in this world for two years before he knows it.
In the past two years, Chen Jiayi has achieved some of his initial wishes. It's just that Chen Jiayi seems to be obsessed with the information industry, and what he thinks about the most is still Tang Dynasty Company. No, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Jiayi, who was thinking about his thoughts, was a little distracted. If it weren't for his mother Li Xiaonian touching him, I don't know when he would have thought of it.
"Ah, nothing."
Chen Jia relieved himself and smiled embarrassedly at everyone.
"Hey, look at you, Xiaojia, you stay like this, how boring you make Wan'er and them."
Chen Jia's family is not prosperous, and there are few relatives. In recent years, during the holidays, they are all friends and the like, plus Mu Wan'er's family came to visit the door. On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, Mu Wan'er and his mother came to Chen Jia's family.
Li Xiaonian blamed Chen Jia for coming along, and then said, "Seeing that you are absent-minded, you might as well go to the street to have a lively time." No, Xiaojia, you go with Wan'er. ”
"Okay."
With that, Chen Jiayi went out with Mu Wan'er.
"Wow, it's snowing so much."
It rarely snows in Jiangxi, and in some places it doesn't even snow for ten years, let alone such heavy snowfall. Although Chen Jiayi knew that it was snowing last night, he didn't know that it was falling so much. Almost all the streets are white.
"Well, you only know now."
Mu Wan'er was defeated by Chen Jiayi, an otaku, and only knew how to stare at her own one-third of an acre, and she didn't know anything else.
"This ......"
Chen Jiayi was a little embarrassed to get up, and walked to the lively place with Mu Wan'er.
"Hey, arcade."
At this time, a popular storefront on the street attracted Chen Jiayi's attention. If you look closely, it turns out to be the arcade machine that Chen Jiayi often played when he was a child. As soon as she saw the arcade machine, Chen Jia thought of countless arcade games. What Dinosaur Island, Three Kingdoms, The King of Fighters, Street Fighter...... All of them are classics.
"What, children's games, do you want to play too?"
