Chapter 116: Microsoft's Initiative

Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington.

Although it was already night, the Windows R&D department at Microsoft's headquarters was still brightly lit, and Terry Myerson, Microsoft's executive vice president and head of the operating system division, and the entire R&D department were working overtime.

Because just before the count, at eight o'clock Beijing time, after the intelligent security master was launched, they immediately downloaded the software and analyzed it technically.

For a while, the entire R&D department was very busy.

But as time went on, the faces of the crowd became more and more difficult to look at, and one by one the software engineers began to walk around and discuss with each other.

"George, how's it going?" Terry Myerson asked as he walked out of his office and behind a group of engineers who were arguing around a computer.

"Oh, sorry Mr. Myerson, the situation is even worse than we thought, as you said before, this software does not affect the stability and compatibility of the Windows system itself, and replaces some of the kernel programs and execution code of the system, resulting in the failure of all the backdoors reserved by our system! And what's worse is that this software is not written in any of the computer languages we are familiar with, but it is more advanced than existing computer languages, so we just tried to disassemble this software, but the result was ...... "The person who spoke is named George Soros, one of the top engineers in Microsoft's Windows department, who has been involved in the development of Windows XP all the way to Windows 10, and is an absolute veteran employee."

It's just that such a top-level software engineer, at this time, can only be helpless in the face of intelligent security masters, and shrugs helplessly.

"Not only that, Mr. Myerson, but the software doesn't use any known program building blocks! I think the developers of this software must have far more advanced compilation software than us! An engineer sitting in front of the computer spoke.

Hearing the words of these two people, Terry Myerson frowned, what he feared most still happened, Huaxia really mastered more advanced computer technology than them. Although the progress of technology will lead to the upgrading of operating systems, this is a good thing for human society.

But the problem is that these technologies are not in the hands of their Microsoft.

As the world's largest system and software provider, they know better how important it is for Microsoft to maintain its technological edge.

And now there is a problem that makes him even more headache!

If, as Nadella suggests, they could upgrade the Windows system so that the system no longer supports the software, and then completely crush the expansion momentum of the software.

But the premise is that they have to thoroughly research the software to find a way to make the system incompatible.

But now they can't do it, and it's like knowing there's treasure in the safe, but you don't have a way to open it!

"George, you keep trying to figure it out, I'll go inform Mr. Nadella!" After leaving a sentence, Terry Myerson hurried back to his office, and he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately called Nadella.

About half an hour later, Nadella arrived at the company and held an emergency video conference with the company's directors via computer, and then called Terry Myerson to his office to explain the situation.

Terry Myerson spent more than 10 minutes explaining to the directors the technical content of the Smart Security Master and the serious implications it could have for Microsoft.

After listening to Terry Myerson's explanation, everyone's faces seemed to be a little gloomy, and they didn't speak immediately for a while.

But after a little silence, a fat old man who was a little balding took the lead and said: "Mr. Myerson, with our technical reserves, there is no way to deal with the software developed by a small Chinese company?"

This should be just a piece of software that needs to be parasitic on our system to run, and we at Microsoft have raised so many top engineers, are they all idle meals? ”

"Mr. Medi is right, this is a big joke, yesterday we mastered the world's most advanced computer technology, but today you tell me that we have been surpassed in our best field, the most ridiculous thing is that this person who surpasses us is still a Chinese? Hehe, Huaxia? I really doubt that they have copied our technology again this time to develop this software? Another middle-aged man with a long face and a big chin said with a look of disdain.

"Mr. Maddy, Mr. Smith, unfortunately we have to admit that the technology used in this software really exceeds our 40 years of technical reserves. It is written in more advanced computer languages, as well as more advanced programming software and compilation software, and even the encryption algorithm is far ahead of us.

So far, we only know that this kind of software replaces part of the kernel program and execution code of our Windows system through an unknown means to achieve the purpose of shielding the backdoor of our system, as for how this means is achieved, our best engineers can't analyze it at present! Myerson said helplessly.

"Hmph, can't you analyze it? Microsoft spends a huge amount of money every year to invest in technology research and development, but you have given us this answer, can I understand that your entire R&D department is not as good as a young man in China! The middle-aged man with the big chin said unceremoniously.

"I'm sorry directors, I can understand your feelings, this is not something we want to see, but sometimes, a genius's wisdom often really tops a team, just like Mr. Bill Gates, who used his wisdom to create technology that changed the world, and also founded a great company like Microsoft, and today, it may be the young man of China who will change this era!" Myerson said with a wry smile.

Hearing this, all the directors were silent, but their faces were even more gloomy, and they also knew that often the emergence of a genius could really change an era.

"Guys, why don't we try to buy their technology for us!" A blonde-haired director on the video suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, several directors thought for a while, nodded slightly in agreement: "This may be a feasible solution!" ”

"Mr. Paul's proposal is a good idea, but I don't think it will work for this Huaxia company!" Nadella, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "First of all, what we want to buy is not this software, but the technology behind it, these advanced technologies may not be measured in money, which is the same reason that we Microsoft will never sell our Windows source code."

Secondly, judging from the results of Apple's and Google's negotiations with Xuanyu Technology last year because of the software of intelligent voice butler, it is even more impossible to acquire technology.

Otherwise, Google would not have spent $500 million to buy back only 30% of the shares of a subsidiary of Xuanyu Technology, and Apple even opened its own AppStore authorization to this company, so it can be seen that we go to Xuanyu Technology to talk about acquisitions, and the final result may not be much better than Apple and Google? ”

"Mr. Nadella is right, the Chinese people are very greedy and shameless, we don't need to talk to them about any acquisitions, since we can't suppress them from the technical means, we can think of other ways, after all, we Microsoft still have the world's largest Windows system market! And this software also has to rely on our Windows system to survive, and that's their biggest weakness! ”

"Well, Mr. Smith is right, Mr. Myerson and I have just mentioned a solution-Mr. Myerson, you can tell me!" Nadella patted Myerson beside him and said.

"Alright Mr. Nadella, fellow directors, I do have a solution, and while it may not be honorable, it is the only way to do it right now!"
