Chapter 294: New Operating System
"If you want to install it, it's best to use this CD, if you really don't have it, you can also use the included floppy disk to install it, but the time is much slower."
The market manager saw him staring at the carton in a daze, and quietly explained beside him.
Bill put the cardboard box aside, and the mood formed by the sudden bad news at the beginning had gradually subsided, and he said calmly: "Let's talk about the situation of this network technology company in detail." ”
The marketing manager sorted out his thoughts and said, "This New York network technology company has only reached our ears in the last day or two. ”
"Just the day before yesterday, our customer service department began to receive calls from users one after another, they asked us if there is an operating system called "in", whether it was launched by our Microsoft, and when they heard us answer no, they all complained that our operating system is not easy to use. ”
"At first, we didn't care, but as more and more people called, we had to pay attention, and all the people in the marketing department scattered to look for this operating system called "in". ”
At this point, he paused.
By this time, Bill was already sitting on the edge of his desk, clasped his hands, and nodded for him to continue.
The marketing manager thought about it and said: "Later, as soon as we went out, we found that many places were talking about this software, and they all gave this software a very high evaluation. ”
"However, the one who knows this matter best is Kelly, so let him explain it to you in detail."
He shoved a short, thin young man in front of Bill.
He secretly hid in a corner.
Bill gave him a disappointed look, no matter how good the software is, it can't be flawless!
And as a marketing manager, I have no fighting spirit!
How else does this work!
Occupy the market?
He sighed in his heart and looked at the nervous young man in front of him.
This is the marketing department, in order to sell the software, an additional staff member can be distinguished from the white work card buttoned on his clothes.
"Your name is Kleil? Tell me everything you know, and try to be as detailed as possible. With a gentle expression, he said to the cramped young man in front of him.
It's just that the tone mixed in it cannot be denied.
"Yes, Mr. Bill."
Kraire swallowed his saliva and began to speak slowly: "Yesterday I went out to investigate the situation of the opponent according to the manager's order....."
“no! no!”
Bill directly interrupted what he was about to say.
"It's not an opponent yet! I don't believe that the operating system they urgently produced will be better than the Windows software that we spent three years carefully designing! ”
Claire looked at him with a strange look and a smile of pity in his eyes, which made Bill angry and a little worried.
"Boss, can I go on?" Claire relieved a lot of nervousness and asked politely.
The uneasiness in Bill's heart became more and more intense, and he said solemnly: "You go on!" ”
Claire nodded, and said: "I think about it, since the other party chooses to sell this software, then it will definitely go to those computer sellers." ”
"As a result, I went to the largest computer sales store in New York, and sure enough, I found a humble booth in the corner of the store, where a young man was enthusiastically demonstrating a software I had never seen before.
Krair spoke slowly, recalling what he had seen yesterday.
The computer store he went to was the largest in New York, covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters alone, with six sections displaying computers of various brands.
On the side of the entrance, there is a red booth.
At least twenty or thirty people gathered around the booth, listening intently to the narrator in the middle, giving a detailed demonstration of the software.
Cryell suddenly heard someone in front of him saying the word windin, and his heart moved, and he struggled to squeeze through the crowd of onlookers and came to the innermost part of the booth.
Inside, there is a computer monitor, and on a sixteen-inch screen, it shows the picture of an operating system after it is turned on.
He only took one look and was completely stunned!
As a salesperson, he is already very familiar with the company's products.
In the LUNA user graphical interface, the window logo has also been changed to a clearer and brighter four-color window logo.
In addition, Windows XP has introduced a "Select Task" user interface, which allows the toolbar to access the specific details of the task.
Generally speaking, this display mode is relatively rigid.
However, it is a great breakthrough for the command line input under the previous DOS.
However, for this operating system with a "∞" logo in the corner, the Windows XP system is like an old wall, crude!
On the interface of this operating system, there is a horizontal bar at the bottom end, and there is a circular button that says "Start", and next to the start button, there are several small icons.
According to the narrator, this is a shortcut icon, and the mouse can be clicked to perform the start.
And on this bar, each program being executed has a narrowed window thumbnail, which is convenient for users to switch back and forth between different programs.
Most of the screen is a soft light blue background, and at the bottom of the left side, there are zoomed-out icons.
With such a layout, the line of sight looks very natural, comfortable and simple.
Compared to the interface of Windows XP, it is simply different!
By the time the commentator began to demonstrate the functions of this operating system in detail, Klele's heart was already cold!
Compared with the XP which has only a dozen or so programs, and there are some programs used to make up the numbers, this operating system called "in" (origin) is simply a program master!
If Windows XP is compared to a bungalow, then the IN operating system is a luxuriously decorated and stunning high-rise building!
Control panels, accessories, communication tools, browsers, games, all kinds of programs add up, there are twenty or thirty, and there are some common tools, such as calculators, printing devices, etc., are not placed on the desktop, but are unified in a single accessory folder.
This seems to mean that they have been classified as less important edge programs.
Like WordPad programs, drawing tools, word processing software, notepads, etc., all included, the functions are extremely comprehensive!
In response to questions from some tech-savvy professionals among the onlookers, the narrator also clicked on a hidden admin option with the mouse.
There are hundreds of specific management and debugging programs in it, making Kelle feel like falling into an ice cave!
....
"You wait!"
The more Bill listened, the more wrong it became, where is this Claire explaining the situation, it is clearly in the company, in front of so many people, singing praises to his opponents!
His angry heart fluctuated, what Klele said, he didn't dare to completely believe it, but what was certain was that the opponent's operating system and program integration were comprehensive, there was no doubt!
But then there's a performance issue involved!
He quickly asked, "When the other party is demonstrating this operating system, how is the running speed?" Can the performance catch up with our XP system? ”
In his opinion, integrating so much software will inevitably slow down the running speed of the computer.
No matter how good a program is, it needs enough hardware to support it.
Now the mainstream computer is Intel's Pentium 4, but it has not completely occupied the market, and many backward areas are still using 586, or even 486.
And the operating system they install is based on the old version of DOS.
As long as the program is a little larger, it cannot break through the 640KB basic memory limit limited by DOS, which seriously affects the development of the software industry.
Perhaps, their program is perfect, but only our XP system really does the DOS and can make the system support 3.2G of physical memory!
Bill's heart was beating fast.
"Their program runs very smoothly!"
Klele's words shattered his remaining self-confidence, making Bill instantly feel like his brain was being blasted by five thunders!
