Chapter 1543: Each Means of Implementation
The development of the world is always unexpected, and Daqian and Microsoft, which seemed to have been fighting for life and death, suddenly died down magically at this moment.
Microsoft removed the patch for the latest QQ update, and Daqian also gave up the promotion of WPS, and all the ads were taken off the shelves, and overnight, it seemed as if the whole world was quiet.
Of course, it didn't take long for well-informed people to get the news, and then sold it to the media as soon as possible, and as a result, people around the world quickly learned about Daqian and Microsoft's bet on QQ and MSN.
The media immediately took the news to interview Microsoft and Daqian, and at first Microsoft didn't admit it, but what Microsoft didn't expect was that Daqian admitted it in one bite.
They even announced the number of active users confirmed by both parties so far, with QQ's total number of excellent users at 13.16 million and MSN's total active users at 10.71 million.
This made Microsoft very angry, but Microsoft soon found that with the recognition of the news, the war between QQ and MSN instantly became a hot spot of concern all over the world, and all kinds of related news flew all over the sky.
If there is a hot search list or something like that at this time, then you will find that the popularity of QQ and MSN has increased more than ten times in a short period of time, and almost all people are enthusiastically discussing the affairs of QQ and MSN, discussing who loses and who wins and loses these two software, and for a while, these two software almost occupy the core of everyone's chat.
However, although there was no hot search, Daqian and Microsoft soon realized the popularity this time, because in just one day, the number of downloads and active users of QQ and MSN has risen by nearly 4 million, rushing towards the figure of 5 million.
QQ and MSN have been developing for two years, and the other has been developing for more than a year, and as a result, the users accumulated over these years have completed 1/3 in a week.
These are obviously the traffic brought by the gambling contract, those who have never heard of QQ and MSN, or have heard of but have little interest in these two software, after knowing this gambling contract, they began to download these two software curiously, to see who is better, by the way betting.
That's right, it's a bet.
The gambling industry in the United States and Europe is legal, and as soon as the QQ and MSN bets popped up, bookmakers with a keen sense of smell released handicaps one after another, allowing customers to bet on QQ and MSN.
A lot of people who plan to bet,Then naturally you have to download QQ and MSN as soon as possible,And then take a look at who is better,Which one should you choose,Anyway, the whole country of rice is extremely lively by this matter,The number of users has naturally skyrocketed。
This Bill Gates soon realized that he couldn't help but admit it, because if he didn't admit it, it would seem weak-hearted, and if he was weak-hearted, then everyone would be more optimistic about QQ, and QQ would have an advantage.
At the same time, Bill Gates also realized that this seems to be no longer a simple decision on whether to block QQ's gambling contract, but a major event related to the future of Microsoft and Daqian, if Microsoft loses this time, I am afraid that Microsoft will become a joke in many people's mouths.
Moreover, this time, if QQ and MSN lose, then I am afraid they will not be able to afford to lose, and it will completely become the tears of the times, this is a war that determines the instant messaging entrance in the Internet era, Microsoft must not lose!
Although Bill Gates feels that his chances of winning are definitely more than 80%, he is not a person to take lightly, and after discovering the importance of this bet, Bill Gates immediately made corresponding arrangements.
First of all, at the next press conference, Bill Gates pretended to admit the bet very casually, and then directly said that Microsoft is now in an advantageous ...... Anyway, the result comes out in the end, and who wins and loses in the middle of the process depends on whose mouth can blow more.
Anyway, judging from Bill Gates's performance at the press conference, this bet is just a small game, and Microsoft will definitely win.
Many people also firmly believe that although the total number of people seems to be the advantage of QQ now, QQ is after all a company run by Chinese people, and how can the kind of closed, backward and non-compliant enterprises that do not comply with the market economy beat Microsoft, which is free and democratic.
After all, who would believe that Brazil would be kicked 7-0 in football?
As a result, in the various handicaps in the United States and Europe, the odds of buying Microsoft began to plummet, and the odds of buying Daqian began to skyrocket, all to the point of 1 to 2.2.
But soon, Microsoft had a new move, that is, Microsoft announced that all systems sold in the future will be bound and installed with MSN, so that users can contact each other more conveniently.
If that's the case, that's fine, what's even more grassy is that all Microsoft's software will follow MSN's software with the software, and then when the software is installed, MSN will also be automatically installed.
Of course, if the user doesn't want to, you can also not install it, just shock the details in the installation interface, then click on the remarks, then click on the additional software, and then cancel the small tick in front of MSN, it's very simple, but you need a few extra clicks of the mouse.
According to the statistics of some well-intentioned people, in just one month, MSN has added 10 million new installs, and according to their statistics, in the next year, MSN can increase the number of installs by at least 100 million just by relying on these binding installation routines.
Although the number of installs is not equal to the number of active users, as long as there is a 10% conversion rate, that is 10 million active users.
Seeing these measures, netizens scolded Microsoft for being shameless, and began to frantically buy Microsoft's winning handicap, and in an instant, they gave Daqian's odds to Chonggaodao 1 to 3.1.
And Daqian on the other side,It's not so lucky,After all, Daqian doesn't have such a monopoly resource for QQ,At most, it's to install QQ for the Internet cafes in Huaxia,And then by the way, pre-install QQ for all Xiaomi computers in advance,By the way, uninstall the pre-installed MSN in the system。
For the rest, there seems to be no other means.
Oh, by the way, it seems that Taobao announced that they will add online service functions in the future, and at the same time become a strategic partner with QQ, and all customer service on Taobao will be carried out directly through QQ, and Taobao buyers must also download QQ to be able to communicate with sellers normally or something.
But these things are a drop in the bucket, and the Internet cafes in China have actually pre-installed QQ for a long time, and they can't add many star active users.
As for Xiaomi computers, the current monthly shipments are about 800,000 units, and the number of units in a year is only 10 million, less than one-tenth of Microsoft's.
As for Taobao, it's even less, after all, there aren't many people who buy things on Taobao now.
However, secretly, many underworld forces specializing in pirated CDs of the Windows system have received a covert message, that is, if they sell pirated Microsoft system CDs, if MSN is removed and QQ is bound at the same time, then for every disc sold, they can get a commission of 10 cents.
All of a sudden, QQ has a good reputation among pirates!
Anyway, for the sake of this war, all kinds of shameless means have been used on both sides, and everything that can be used has been used.
But it seems that both sides have forgotten that it is not these that can really determine the outcome, but the product itself.
