Chapter 103: A Little Record

Microsoft's WP mobile phone system has finally been officially released, and as the absolute hegemon of the computer system industry, Microsoft's big move has attracted the attention of the world.

Whether it is mobile phone manufacturers, or those hardware suppliers, or the most terminal consumers, they all have great expectations for this.

With a new system, mobile phone manufacturers are able to launch new models and then make a profit from consumers. Parts suppliers need to make their own parts more in line with the architecture of the WP mobile phone system. As for consumers, who doesn't like the new and hate the old?

"Nervous?"

At the official end of Microsoft's press conference, Bill Gates saw Donus drinking at the party, which is unimaginable for an IT practitioner who needs to keep his brain awake at all times.

"Of course I'm nervous."

Donus had only drunk two glasses at this time, and his mind was still very sober, and when he was questioned by his big boss, he naturally put down his wine glass.

"If I fail, there's a good chance I'm going to leave the company."

Bill Gates patted Donners on the shoulder, and for him, Donances's words would not have any effect. Success is not to be said, but the result of failure is predestined.

"Take it easy, we're Microsoft."

Bill Gates, who said this, is very confident, and his self-confidence will not be doubted by anyone, not even the president of the United States.

After a brief conversation, Bill Gates left Donners, and although the WP project was Microsoft's first step into the mobile phone system industry, and it was also the most important step in the next few years, Donners's level was still a little lower than Bill Gates.

After the boss left, Donus picked up his glass again, but when he raised it to his lips, he found himself a little bored.

A man came to the balcony, and Donnas took out his phone.

As a top IT practitioner, Downers' mobile phones and other digital products are naturally the most advanced ones on the market. And what he is holding in his hand at the moment is Apple's first-generation iPhone.

As soon as he pressed the screen of his phone, he received a message push from a news software.

"Apple's first-generation iPhone sales exceeded 20 million units worldwide!"

Donnas's hands trembled, and his heart trembled, and he believed that this news would tremble for the vast majority of those who were engaged in the business related to the mobile phone industry at the banquet behind him.

At this time, three months have passed since Apple released the iPhone, which seems to be a lot of time, but what if in these three months, Apple's iPhone has sold 20 million units?

Donners clicked on the news, and the first sentence of the opening sentence was: "Before the iPhone, there had never been a mobile phone that sold 20 million units worldwide within three months of its official release." And today, three months later, many places are still in short supply. ”

This paragraph has completely summarized the madness brought by the iPhone in this world, as early as two months ago, the iPhone began to be officially sold in many countries around the world, including the previously rumored to be inaccessible Huaxia, which has also successfully passed the certification.

Of the 20 million iPhones sold worldwide, 5 million of them were digested in the Chinese market.

"Didn't you say that Chinese people can't afford iPhones?"

Donus looked at the sales of the iPhone in the Chinese market in the news, and even when he had just entered the Chinese market, because of the short supply, he was hyped to a high price of 10,000 Chinese coins, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"What bullshit Reuters? Didn't they say that the per capita salary of Chinese people is only 2,000 Chinese dollars, which is only more than 300 dollars when converted into US dollars, so they can't afford to buy an iPhone that normally costs $499 and needs to increase taxes and fees? ”

The content of this news was not long, and soon, Donus finished reading it.

"Can my WP system work such miracles?"

Yes, Donners thinks that Apple's iPhone, what it has achieved so far, can be called a miracle.

After exiting the news software, Donus looked at the multiple pages on the mobile phone screen, each page was already full of software icons, and his heart suddenly rose with infinite respect for Wen Ming.

This reverence comes from Wenming's software requirements on the iOS platform, that is, software vendors are not allowed to carry private goods.

In fact, software processes on your computer can easily be interrupted, and you can end any process you want to end by opening Task Manager. At this point, Microsoft's Windows system has done a very good job.

But Donners knew very well in his heart that Microsoft was able to do this entirely because they had completely dominated the global computer system market at that time. Before they completed the occupation, the software on the computer also liked to carry smuggling.

And, even if their Windows system can end any process that users don't want, software vendors will still carry it with them.

The simplest problem is that users who know a little bit about computers know that the software should not be installed on the system disk, normally it is the C drive. However, when installing any software, the default custom installation location is on the C drive.

Why don't the software vendors just take this into account when they make the installation package?

Moreover, when installing software on the computer, it is easy to ignore the 'hidden prompts' of the software, and when installing a certain desired software, you unknowingly install other software that is completely unnecessary, which can be described as garbage.

"Why did you dare to do that in the first place?"

Donners is well aware of Apple's App Store, all software needs to be certified by Apple, and cannot carry any private goods, cannot actively run in the background, and cannot send push notifications at will.

And when Apple made these requests, it had not sold a single iPhone.

Donners thought that when he first bought an iPhone, there were very few apps available on it other than the games that had taken the world by storm.

Who would buy a smartphone without enough apps?

However, as iPhone sales continue to increase, software vendors who originally wanted to postpone the development of software on the iOS platform had to compromise with Apple and start releasing software on the iOS platform for the sake of the increasing number of users.

"We only used the monopoly power to force them to comply after we occupied the market, and even then, we didn't do enough."

Donus opened the iPhone's address book, looked at Wen Ming in the contact list, and felt the urge to make a call.

"And you, but dare to do something that can only be done after monopolizing the market without the support of the market. I really want to know, what the hell do you think? ”
