053 Stormy Waves
Seattle, Country M.
It's already eight o'clock in the evening, but the lights are still bright in the research department of the indos department of Microsoft headquarters. Terry Myerson, the director of the indos department at Microsoft's headquarters, was sitting in his office with a stern face looking through the data, and was waiting for the working system researchers to make a comprehensive analysis report on a dragon shield system that was urgently transmitted by Microsoft Huaxia two hours ago.
The information he had at hand was a preliminary test result of the Indos system after the Dragon Shield system was installed.
According to the report of the system testing department, after the installation of the Dragon Shield system, the overall performance of the in7 series system increased by an average of 40 percent, and the overall performance of the in8 series system increased by 38 percent.
Of course, these are not the point, the core problem is that after installing the Dragon Shield operating system, all the backdoor programs reserved for the indos series operating system they opened collectively failed.
This is an absolutely disastrous conclusion for Microsoft. Because if this Dragon Shield system is installed, they will not even be able to deal with users who use pirated indos systems through guò technical means. Not to mention the political significance of these backdoors to Microsoft.
If this so-called Dragon Shield system is really promoted, it will be an absolute disaster for Microsoft and the company. So before he could do that, he had to have a deeper understanding of the system and find a technical solution to the disaster. For example, after thoroughly researching this system, it is a good choice to urgently upgrade the existing indos version so that it no longer supports this dragon shield system.
Since the system doesn't support any apps, that's a weakness they can attack.
It's just that a full two hours have passed, and I saw a group of people outside who didn't stop busy, but there was still no result, which made Terry Myerson feel a little depressed.
Putting down the report that he had flipped through three times, Terry Myerson stood up and walked out of his office.
Everyone in the lab is busy in their respective offices, where the world's best software engineers gather, and it's hard to imagine that they are having a headache with an alternative system.
"Les, how's it going?" Terry Myerson asked one of the three researchers who were discussing around a computer.
The person asked by Terry Myerson is Les Cady, an old man at Microsoft, one of the top engineers in the Indos department, who has participated in the research work from IndosXP to the current Indos 8, and is now one of the researchers of the future Indos 9, and the two people he is discussing Michael Ronnie and Carmen Bruce are also veteran engineers of the company.
"There has been no substantial progress yet, and we need more time. Attempts are now underway to disassemble the system, but the results are not satisfactory. What is certain is that the system is not written in any of the computer languages we are familiar with. What's even worse is that this system uses this programming language that we are not familiar with, without affecting the stability and compatibility of the indos system itself, replacing most of the system's own execution code! That's why our system is running more efficiently on this system, and now we can't figure out how it works! It's undoubtedly more advanced than our system! ”
Les Cady looked a little frustrated, and complained
"That's not all! The system doesn't use any known program building blocks! The person who opened this system must have a genius imagination and programming ability, and I believe that the software he used to open this system, as well as the compilation software, were also designed by himself! If this system can be perfectly compatible with existing application software, I think the indos9 project can be canceled directly! Carmen Bruce chimed in.
After hearing the words of the two, Terry Myerson's brow furrowed even tighter. The feedback from the two of them was not pleasant good news for him or Microsoft.
Technological progress has led to the upgrading of operating systems, which is a good thing. But only if these technologies are in Microsoft's hands. As the world's largest provider of systems and software, they know better what it means for Microsoft to stay ahead of the curve.
Terry Myerson shook his head helplessly, and the corner of his eye swept over Michael Ronnie, who was standing aside without saying a word, but seemed thoughtful.
"Michael, do you have anything to show up?" Terry Myerson asked.
Michael Ronnie nodded and said in an uncertain tone: "Some time ago, a friend of mine gave me a voice-activated smart butler, can I make a similar application." Because that software only supports Chinese, I can't understand the special features of that app, so I just tried to disassemble, and the problems encountered are similar to this Dragon Shield system, oh, you see......"
As he spoke, Michael Ronnie pointed to a set of numbers jù obtained by the computer anti-compilation software in front of the four people, and then continued: "This set of numbers jù also appears often on that mobile phone app, I guess it comes from the same kind of opening tool, of course, it is more likely that this is the same person!" ”
"Oh? Voice-activated smart butler? Mobile app? Terry Myerson was slightly stunned, and unconsciously repeated the sentence, as if remembering something. You go ahead, I'll make a call! ”
After saying that, Terry Myerson turned around and went back to his office, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Wang Yongsheng, the head of Microsoft Huaxia.
As soon as the phone rang, Terry Myerson got straight to the point and said: "hI, Mr. Wang, I remember mentioning in a chat some time ago that a mobile phone software was popular in Huaxia, because it did not support the Ios system, which made Apple disgraced. Is the developer of this software the same person or company as the creator of the system you just transmitted? ”
On the other end of the phone, Wang Yongsheng, who had just watched the internal video of the Longdun system conference, replied: "Yes, it was opened by the same company, and it was a ...... name" Speaking of this, Wang Yongsheng suddenly felt that the name Tianshu Technology was very tongue-twisting in English, so he directly translated it literally: "The product developed by the emerging technology company of Tianshu Technology!" ”
After confirming the news, Terry Myerson had another headache, and after a casual greeting, he hung up the phone and sat in his place in a daze.
This is not good news.
There is so much overlap between Microsoft and Apple's business that the two have never stopped getting to know each other. So not long ago, a mobile phone app can cause trouble to Apple, and many senior executives at Microsoft know the news and gloat.
But who knew that in just ten days, he would have to face this dilemma. Even more so than Apple's. After all, Apple is only dealing with a mobile app that is popular in China, and they are dealing with an operating system that can completely block the backdoor of their system.
The indos series of Windows systems has always been Microsoft's fist product, although in recent years Microsoft has been exploring new profit growth points, such as the home entertainment industry sector launched X-Box, business solutions, and Microsoft Mobile, etc., but these departments are fiercely competitive, most of them are still in a state of loss, and the best case is barely flat.
Microsoft has been relying on the profits of its most profitable Windows system, office software, and server divisions to supplement these new future profit points. Among them, the quarterly revenue of the Windows system accounted for 85% of the company's total revenue.
If the company's Windows Systems division has a revenue problem, it will be an absolute disaster for Microsoft now. And now the question is, if this Dragon Shield system becomes popular and completely blocks the background detection program of the Indos series system, how can they manage the market for the Windows system?
Taking a step back, even if the Dragon Shield system has not touched their fundamental interests now, after all, this system must rely on other Windows systems to make the PC move, but with such advanced technology, after several years of careful research, who dares to guarantee that the next generation of Dragon Shield system can not be perfectly compatible with the application?
Well, even if none of these are imminent issues, how do you hack this system now? Terry Myerson felt like his head was about to explode, even if he was conceited, he didn't dare to say that the scientific research level of Microsoft's researchers was several grades higher than Apple's.
As far as he knows, a relatively simple mobile phone app, almost a month has passed now, and it is still bothering Apple's researchers.
And now, they must not passively wait for a month, because he dare not imagine the dilemma that Microsoft will face if this Dragon Shield system really becomes popular.
You must know that unlike the voice-activated mobile phone software that is only popular in China for the time being, this Dragon Shield system only needs to simply change the language, and it can be adapted to all pnetbsp in the world; Thinking of this, Terry Myerson directly picked up the landline in the office, this matter must be reported to the higher management, he can't afford this responsibility.
"hI, Lisa, pick me up Mr. Ballmer, there's something urgent!"
