Chapter 586: The enemy of the enemy is the friend
"Okay, I'm serving you, VISTA operating system, do you dare to use it?"
As soon as I took YOU, I already knew what kind of cup VISTA is.
Now, though, it's not clear to Torre what exactly VISTA has in his cup. In his understanding, VISTA is a little slower to boot, and nothing else. Oh, and by the way, there are a few more software that don't have a VISTA version. However, Torre believes that over time, it will be a matter of time before these software are released in VISTA versions.
"Dude, it's not that I don't remind you, at present, the VISTA operating system has just been launched, and it is still imperfect in all aspects. Try it now, it's just a test case for Microsoft. It is recommended that you wait for half a year before using it. ”
The computer nerd said to Torre in a serious voice.
"Why, but I feel like I use VISTA, and it's pretty good."
Although there was a little depression in it, however, for the sake of perfect display, Torre also recognized it.
"Haha, yes, then take a few more days, and you'll know if VISTA is good or bad."
The other party left such a sentence, Torre was incomprehensible.
However, in the following time, he finally knew what the master meant.
Because, in the subsequent application time, he often encountered some unexplained disconnections, stuck, and some program errors and so on. There are also some software that is directly incompatible with the VISTA operating system and cannot be used. At first it was only once or twice, and Torre endured.
It wasn't until time went on, and after more and more problems like this, that Torre finally broke out.
"I'm going to let people live."
What kind of operating system is this, it's just a cheat.
Brother used you for a week, and you gave me ten crashes and stuck N times...... Especially online games, it was supposed to display the screen well, but because of the card, because of the program error, he was completely speechless. Until, when the guild members kicked him out of the guild, Torre became angry.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
The system is completely fine, there is not a trace of fault, how can this happen?
It wasn't until he finally found out when he Baidu VISTA operating system. It turns out that this VISTA operating system, he is simply an experiment. Like a friend, he is a general preparation, in order to install the VISTA operating system, the boot time actually reached three or four minutes.
Of course, this is just the boot. It's just that they didn't expect that the boot was just the beginning of their depression. Because there are some people who install VISTA with low and strong configurations, in between, not only is the boot slow, but even the entry into running the entire operating system is also slow. In particular, when they install the antivirus software after installing the operating system, it can be said that the computer hardly needs to work.
Because, one operating system and one antivirus software can occupy all the work of his computer.
In addition, some other hardware and software are almost completely incompatible with the VISTA operating system. Even if there are some more commonly used software, such as instant messaging, Tang Dynasty Guard, and video and audio playback tools. Although they seem to be compatible, every now and then, nothing can go wrong.
At the beginning, many friends who use VISTA operating system also find it incomprehensible. Until, when they learned that this was the reason for the immaturity of the VISTA operating system. ALL OF A SUDDEN, BAIDU WAS OVERWHELMED, FLASHING COUNTLESS INFORMATION ABOUT THE BAD VISTA OPERATING SYSTEM.
"God, Microsoft, what the hell are you doing?"
You must know that everyone buys VISTA completely out of the promotion of VISTA and their trust in Microsoft. But look at Microsoft, what kind of product you've given us. In countless cases of incompatibility between software and hardware, you dare to launch it. Do you know how much damage you've done to us during this time?
This kind of damage is especially deep for those users who have spent a lot of money to buy the VISTA operating system. At this moment, they scolded Microsoft on the Internet, asking Microsoft to give them an explanation. Of course, in the process of scolding, they are also completely removing the VISTA operating system in a very short time. At the same time, there are quite a few angry users who have joined forces to hope that Microsoft will compensate them for their personal losses.
Naturally, there is basically no compensation for such personal damages.
However, it is not difficult to see that the trial time of Microsoft's VISTA operating system has suffered an unimaginable crisis after it has just been released. Therefore, Microsoft issued an announcement to the global media in the following time. It is written that because the VISTA operating system has just been released, it has caused you a lot of trouble, and we apologize very much. At the same time, we will also fix the bug as soon as possible, and I believe that it will not be long before users can experience a real technology product. ,
How can such a statement calm everyone's anger?
Make no mistake, if the product is not mature, then release it again when it is mature. Now release it, what does it mean. Damn, that's unpleasant. It's really depressing to spend money while enjoying the low-end quality of service. In the meantime, many users who have used the VISTA operating system swear that they will not be killed by VISTA.
In addition, they also organized themselves to complain about how bad the VISTA operating system is on the TT group, MSN, ICQ, and all other places on the Internet where they can post messages. If you want to buy, please don't do it. If you want to experience a brand new operating system, it is recommended that you wait for the Tang Dynasty operating system of the Tang Dynasty company.
Because, only the products of the Tang Dynasty Company, he will not treat everyone as guinea pigs.
Microsoft Corporation.
“****。”
An angry curse came from Microsoft headquarters.
The top executives of Microsoft headquarters were all dumbfounded, they had never seen Bill be so angry. You must know that Bill, even if he is angry again, it is impossible for him to explode directly. But now, not only did Bill burst into foul language, it looked like he wanted to smash things.
"Steve, you say, is our VISTA that bad?"
Bill grew angry and looked straight at everyone. Then, looking at his assistant "Steve" said.
"No, we always thought that the VISTA operating system, he was very good."
Although from the current point of view, many people have raised such and such questions. However, Steve believes that the reason why they have such and such problems is that their computers are not equipped enough. If their computers were sufficiently configured, how could there be so many problems? You know, their Microsoft company's computers, there have not been so many situations.
"Well, why are so many users who generally report that they are not compatible with other software?"
The most reactive situation at the moment is not that everyone thinks that the VISTA operating system needs to be too highly specified. In fact, many users, if their computer is not configured enough, they will not consider buying VISTA at all. There is only one reason that really drives users crazy, that is, the incompatibility of software and hardware products.
"Oh, BOSS, VISTA OS, he has a lot of compatibility with other software. However, we pass the correction and pass the test. The world's major hardware and software are supported. If there is no Tang Dynasty Company, perhaps, even if VISTA has some incompatibilities, it is impossible to have so many incompatibilities. ”
Even, Steve wants to say. If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty Group, global users would not have reacted so violently. If there is no strong agency there to guide and no guy there to fan the flames, how can these users be so excited like eating chicken blood?
"Tang Dynasty Company."
I have known for a long time that the Tang Dynasty company is playing ghosts.
The reason why they have been releasing VISTA without any reaction is to watch the reaction of the Tang Dynasty group. It's just that the Tang Dynasty Group has long been prepared. Bill also knew that at this point in time, it wasn't a very good time for the launch. However, because of the Tang Dynasty Group, they Microsoft can't stop releasing it.
Besides, around February 2005, it was the best time to go on sale. If you miss February, Microsoft wants to go on sale, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. After all, when the time comes, all the staff of Tang Dynasty Group will go to work, and some other Asian companies will also move. At that time, the pressure on Microsoft will be even greater.
"What do you say about technology?"
"At present, it has not been found that Tang Dynasty Group has done anything wrong with its software."
At this point, Microsoft's tech director stood up and reported to Bill.
In the area of Microsoft technology, they have been monitoring the Tang Dynasty Group for a long time. I hope to be able to find out some of the tricks that Tang Dynasty Group has done on its software. However, the major software of the Tang Dynasty Group, they are all sealed and packaged, and you can't view his source code at all. In this way, even if they believe that the recent events must be the work of the Tang Dynasty group, but there is no evidence, Microsoft is helpless.
"Keep looking."
Bill grimaced, and wanted to say what their gang of techs were for. However, Bill also came from a technical background. He didn't know how difficult it must be to look at someone else's source code. Just like Microsoft's operating system, if they could casually look at Microsoft's source code. Well, it is estimated that Microsoft has long been finished. You know, his operating system has countless technologies that infringe on their patents. ,
It's just that because there is no open source code, no one else can find evidence.
In this way, Bill had no choice but to relent, hoping that they would continue to search. Although, this doesn't look promising. However, if you give up, it is even more hopeless. However, this one thought comes to mind. Bill thought again, even if you check what the Tang Dynasty Group did, what about you.
Last time, Microsoft did this a few times.
However, so far, there has been no conclusion in the international lawsuit. Moreover, even if the lawsuit is lost, with the current level of compensation, it is still pitiful. They Microsoft, are more than capable of compensation. In the same way, Tang Dynasty Group can also be the same as Microsoft. Even, the Tang Dynasty Group is much smarter than Microsoft.
Even Bill, when facing the Tang Dynasty group, he felt that he didn't know what to do.
"BOSS, actually, we can do this."
Or Steve, he suggested.
"yes, Steve, what's your idea?"
Bill laughed.
In critical moments, Steve always has a good plan, which makes Bill more and more satisfied with Steve.
"In such a situation, it seems that we have to cooperate with some other computer manufacturers."
Steve said.
"Cooperation?"
Everyone was puzzled, and then, one of them said weakly, "Binding the operating system?" ”
"Yes."
Steve nodded.
We know that the computer and the operating system, he is closely inseparable. The operating system requires a computer to run, and the computer needs an operating system to do more advanced operations. Previously, in order to promote the sales of XP systems. Microsoft has cooperated with other computer manufacturers, that is, to bind a genuine operating system to their computers at a lower price. In this way, in many cases, they have achieved a good sales record.
In the same way, now VISTA, he can do the same.
However, the previous binding with other computer companies was to expand the sales record of the XP system. To put it simply, it's to make some more money. Well, the current binding has become to save the VISTA operating system between fire and water. Even this time, they didn't make much money by cooperating with other computer manufacturers. However, if VISTA can be beaten out of the market, then in the future, they will also be able to make huge profits.
"Great, I knew you wouldn't let me down."
What is the best thing to sell in this world. That is, bound things, it is better to sell. Whether you want to or not, you can bind it directly, and you can't do it if you want to. Moreover, it is beneficial for either side to do so. Anyway, it is a very feasible way to quickly bind the world at a very low price.
……
"Binding."
That's a good strategy.
Chen Jiayi, who was in the Tang Dynasty Group, couldn't help but slap his face and praised Microsoft's strategy.
In later generations, Microsoft used their binding strategy to bind their operating system to the whole of China. Therefore, after the later VISTA was becoming more and more perfect. MICROSOFT HAS MADE THE VISTA OPERATING SYSTEM INTO THE EYES OF MANY USERS THROUGH THEIR BINDING. UNTIL, WHEN THEY LAUNCHED THE REAL WIN7, IN FACT, WIN7 WAS A VISTA WITH A DIFFERENT NAME, BECAUSE WITH THE FOUNDATION BEFORE VISTA, WIN7 WAS A SUCCESS.
Of course, this success cannot be compared to XP. However, compared to VISTA, it is much better.
"It's a pity, you're just bound, what's the use?"
The VISTA of later generations did not use bindings. It's just that after VISTA became famous, even if he was bound, he still didn't succeed. In the case that countless enterprises and countless users do not support it. Even if you are bound to the VISTA operating system, people will still delete you and replace it with the original XP.
I believe that there are not a few friends who have done this.
Of course, Chen Jiayi also knows that the reason why Microsoft has adopted the strategy of binding still suffers failure. The reason for this is that VISTA's reputation has become famous in the entire operating system world. Whether it is a business user or an individual user, they all laugh and say nothing when they talk about VISTA.
Therefore, when the XP system and VISTA were placed in front of them, they didn't want to think about it, and directly chose XP.
In addition, Microsoft wasted too much time on VISTA, and it took them five years to react. It wasn't until the end that they finally understood that the VISTA system had no room to be saved. THIS IS WHAT STEVE, THE CEO OF MICROSOFT TO BILL AFTER HIS NEXT APPOINTMENT, AND THUS, THIS IS THE RESULT OF WIN7. ,
Now, VISTA's reputation has not yet stinked, at most there is a little bad review, because he has just begun.
Then, it's up to me to make your reputation stink.
For this reason, Chen Jiayi thought of a technology maniac in the United States at this time.
"Mr. Jobs, how are you doing?"
A phone call to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
You heard it right, this voice comes from Chen Jiayi.
"Oh, Chen, I didn't expect you to call me again."
Jobs was clearly weird.
Although the media did not announce the big battle between Apple and the Tang Dynasty Group. However, as Steve Jobs, he was the initiator of this big war. Although afterwards, the Tang Dynasty group won the victory of this war with his kingly state. However, Apple, the participating party, does not seem to lose. Although, their products, don't sell very well. However, in this war, they have found the direction with the most potential for the next generation.
"Not surprisingly, on a personal level, we've always been friends, haven't we?"
Chen Jiayi played haha and maintained a very friendly attitude with Jobs.
"Oh yes, Chen, you're right, we've always been friends."
Jobs didn't know what Chen Jiayi was talking about. However, Chen Jiayi is so polite, and Jobs will not turn his face on the spot. In fact, he has nothing to turn around. At that time, Apple directly put aside the Tang Dynasty Group, not the Tang Dynasty Group abandoned Apple. It was not the Tang Dynasty that betrayed his promise, but himself.
Therefore, after that war, Jobs has been embarrassed to communicate with Chen Jiayi.
"Okay, I'll get down to business."
After chatting casually with Jobs for a while, Chen Jiayi got to the point.
"Presumably, you should know about the recent release of VISTA by Microsoft."
"Of course, we've been watching."
As a competitor to Microsoft, how could Steve Jobs not be watching?
"Just watch and watch, our Tang Dynasty group has already acted, but I don't know you?"
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Chen Jiayi knows this very well.
At this time, Chen Jiayi has no reason to give up working with Apple and fight Microsoft together.
