"What do you say?! That's impossible! How is it possible that they have also broken through the limitations of DOS on basic memory management? ”

Bill's voice was already trembling.

This is a great initiative that they have spent a lot of manpower and material resources, dozens of engineers have worked hard, combined with several years of development experience, and constantly tried to do it.

Originally, Bill thought that this was their first initiative, but now you say that there is a company that has also broken through?

At this time, Claire actually grinned and laughed: "They didn't rely on DOS, but used DOS as the computer's startup program, and then installed the operating system to completely replace DOS!" ”

"It can be said that they are completely independent and complete operating systems, just like our XP system!"

"According to the narrator, they have adopted a patented technology that completely bypasses the backward management model of DOS and can effectively use every byte of memory in the computer hardware!"

Rumble!!

Although the employees of the marketing department have heard such explanations from him, they still feel a thrilling impact!

Beyond DOS, this has been Bill's dream for many years, and it is also the direction that Microsoft is striving for.

However, at this very moment of their success.

A software that came out of nowhere, and I don't know the origin, has easily solved this technical problem!

Even, in terms of software applications, they have been greatly surpassed, leaving them far behind!

This opponent is terrible!

Claire didn't find it strange at all as she watched her colleagues' shocked reactions.

At the door of the computer store that day, when the narrator said this, all the onlookers who knew technology exclaimed.

The advent of this technology means that the computer industry will change dramatically, and people will no longer have to smash computers in anger for that damn 640KB of basic memory!

As long as you have the money, you can stuff the memory modules up to the maximum management limits allowed by the bus!

This has played a pivotal role in the development of computer technology.

Microsoft also wants to rely on the breakthrough of DOS to completely monopolize the operating system market.

But now, that dream is shattered!

Bill was already weak.

He could no longer sit at his desk, but collapsed in a chair.

Now, he finally understands why the marketing manager has no fighting spirit.

Because of their Windows software, compared with others, the gap is not half a star!

It can be said that from the appearance of the interface design, to the collection of software programs, to the performance, it is all backward in all aspects!

This is like a primitive man in a barbaric era, against a medieval warrior in heavy armor, although he has the strength to fight, but the victory is actually predestined.

It's been a long time.

Bill finally opened his mouth again, and his tone was very flat: "Let's talk about it, what advantages do they have, anyway, we are lagging behind, and listening more will be of great help to everyone in the right position." ”

The so-called silence is greater than heart death, and that's it!

The young man Claire hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, in my personal opinion, what I said above is nothing."

"Nothing? With such a high-performance and powerful operating system, you can't even say it's nothing! Bill almost roared at the words, and he was completely furious.

Windows XP, the most perfect operating system since the 21st century, is a mess compared to their opponents!

And this salesman didn't even say that the other party had such a big advantage!

Is the gap between us from heaven to earth?

Claire shrunk her neck in fright, but still said stubbornly: "Yes, I think the advantages of the front are only of interest to real computer experts." ”

"But what I'm going to say is their appeal to the average user! It's their great optimization in multimedia, social networking, and gaming functions! ”

Bill gritted his teeth, pointed at Claire, and after a long time, he put down his hand again and said, "Okay! Tell us how attractive their multimedia is to users! ”

"Their multimedia is divided into three categories: pictures, audio, and video." Claire stepped back a little at the hint of the marketing manager.

He continued: "After breaking through the limitations of DOS, their system quickly redesigned the built-in software, which is more functional and can support pictures well. ”

"Under normal circumstances, it is in accordance with the traditional VGA display mode of 640×480, and such a picture effect can only be said to be unsatisfactory."

"But if the display device supports it, it can be displayed in high resolution of 1280×720, I have seen them demonstrate, and the pictures are very beautiful!"

"At the same time, they used an original display driver that can maximize the performance of existing display equipment, and the narrator did not elaborate, but I came to the conclusion after my own experiment."

"And his audio player, which plays music in compressed format, sounds almost indistinguishable from a CD, which is extremely attractive to the average user!"

"The only regret is that his video playback, subject to the performance of the current computer, although they vigorously excavated the performance of the software, optimized the driver, but there are still subtle jams, however, the flaws are not hidden, many people feel that they are very sincere, and did not exaggerate in order to sell the product, and someone immediately paid for this system"

This moment.

Bill had no strength left.

He looked up to the sky, looking at the pale ceiling.

Will all the hard work and struggle over the years be in vain and turn into a tragic bubble?

Just last week, his Microsoft was about to return to the PC hegemon, the only predator of the world's operating system, how could an operating system called "Origin" emerge in the blink of an eye.

Which company is it? Such a perfect piece of software is just the beginning!

This is unacceptable to him! Absolutely not allowed!

He struggled to his feet and asked loudly, "Enough! Their merits, you have said enough! Now, I'm going to listen to their shortcomings! Do you understand the shortcomings?! ”

"Only by grasping their shortcomings can we have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

Claire was very dissatisfied with him interrupting his narration, muttered a few words in a low voice, and desperately grabbed the back of her head, racking her brains to think about what the shortcomings of this operating system were.

He leaned forward a little: "Video playback is a big problem, and the hardware of the computer is still very limited, and I estimate that the computer they use for demonstration must have additional memory, as well as the graphics card they plugged in, and it is very likely that it has also been modified." ”

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to run so smoothly!"

"Speaking of smoothness, I think they did a live demo of a fake 3D game called Age of Empires - Roman Revival, and the whole process was very smooth! ”

"I've been playing on it for a long time, and it's so exciting."

Syllable!!

A floppy disk, thrown hard in his face and smashed on his nose!
