1432. 1432 chapter Microsoft lost (subscription)

When Lao Zhang was angry, Feng Yu was calling Wilson and asked about the lawsuit of Microsoft. When can I get it.

At this time, some blows to Microsoft can also make Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation less troublesome.

Microsoft suddenly cut the price of the XP system some time ago, and thought it could affect the sales of the XOS system. As a result, a notice from Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation ruined Microsoft’s trick.

Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation claims that the XOS system will guarantee at least five years of system maintenance.

And what does this mean? For everyone, everyone can understand it at a glance.

Think about Microsoft, two or three generations of systems, 2000 will stop updating and maintaining when 95 appears. When XP appears, 2000 will stop updating and maintaining.

This Microsoft is not claiming that VISTA will be launched soon. Doesn’t that the XP system stop updating and maintaining it?

That is to say, although they spent a small amount of money to buy a genuine XP system, but it took less than a year, the loopholes were not repaired, how to ensure the system security? How to solve various problems?

The result is that Microsoft’s XP system has cut prices, and the price cuts are very large, but unfortunately not many people buy. Because Microsoft’s official no one stood up and said, how long the XP system will continue to maintain, it seems that the default is that after the emergence of VISTA, the XP system will stop updating.

Who will buy a system that can only be used for a few months? That VISTA is not to say that there is a big difference with XP. Therefore, XP price cuts not only did not increase sales, but sold even worse.

In addition, the Lenovo Group no longer pre-installs Microsoft’s systems, and many vendors have signed agreements with Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation. Cheaper systems can lower the price of their products and increase their competitiveness. Of course, they will not Rejection.

What’s more, Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation has paid a price for this, such as the price of the system, and also benefited some of these PC manufacturers, so now many manufacturers have computers with XOS system pre-installed.

Bill Gates at the Board of Directors flies into a rage, reprimanded everyone responsible for product sales and development. Ordering new products must speed up the process, face the market as soon as possible, and at the same time contact those PC manufacturers to limit the sales of pre-installed XOS systems, Microsoft’s VISTA system will certainly give them even more surprises.

In fact, those manufacturers have long been fed up with Microsoft’s hegemony, and can’t wait for a system vendor to stand up and fight against Microsoft. How much does it cost for a PC? How much does Microsoft make for a system?

According to the profit rate, selling a computer, Microsoft is the most profitable, which makes PC manufacturers feel balanced?

What’s more, the conditions given by Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation have increased their profits, and how can they not support it? In business, there are no eternal friends, only forever benefits, not to mention that they are not friends with Microsoft!

In particular, everyone knows that after the XP system is about to stop updating and maintaining, the PC sales of the pre-installed XP system are getting worse. Those PC manufacturers are also quite vocal.

They are now in turn asking Microsoft to announce that it will be in their interest to continue to maintain XP for at least three years. Unfortunately, Microsoft did not agree.

But compared to the poor system sales, Microsoft is more concerned about what they are accused of monopolizing around the world. They don’t want to lose the power of this bundled sales model, which will make their software lose the biggest means of competition.

Of course, it would be better if you could not be fined. Nowadays, many countries do not feel that there is anything wrong with this kind of bundling. Most of them are bundled, not all free software.

Especially since the office software of Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation has been sold worldwide, they can’t lose this advantage, otherwise they can only lower the price and lower their profits.

They never thought that even China would accuse them of Microsoft monopoly, and they also heard that after the anti-monopoly law in China passed, the first one was accused of being Microsoft, which is clearly deliberate!

The first two sessions, their lawyers tried to distinguish, but the effect was minimal.

China’s legal system is fundamentally different from the Anglo-American legal system. China is legally regulated. According to the judgments stipulated by law, the various provisions are very detailed and the judgment of the presiding judge is the main one.

The European and American sides are relatively rough, and the judgments are mostly in accordance with past practice, with jurors voting. And their media public can influence the judgment.

In the Chinese legal system, although the media public has influence, it affects the weight of sentencing at most, instead of affecting whether it is guilty or not.

Therefore, Microsoft is now on the verge of being statutory and will be punished for breaking the law. As for the amount of fines, because the amount is too high, China’s anti-monopoly law draft only provides a downline, that is, 5 million RMB.

What they are fighting now is the amount of fines. From the current situation, Microsoft is very disadvantageous.

The agent of China, Wilson, who has been serving Feng Yu, also used the blank of the law to make a ruling according to the amount of the Anglo-American side, so he proposed a high amount of fine.

What makes Microsoft angry is that China is obviously a partial helper. Most people think that this fine is reasonable. And Wilson made another off-court, saying that Microsoft treats the market differently, which makes Bill Gates even want to smash the street!

We treat differently? Our previous product sales in China are the lowest in the world! This kind of difference, why don’t you say it? Now that our price has risen, shouldn’t this be? Your China’s GDP is already the top in the world.

We don鈥檛 want to treat the market differently now, it has caused such a situation, we are not stunned!

Today, it is already the third time that the two sides have opened the court, and the two sides have once again launched a slap in the face.

Wilson is aggressive, and the language keeps setting traps, so Microsoft’s representative lawyers are struggling.

Representatives of Microsoft, their faces are getting more and more ugly. They found that things have really developed in the worst direction. They are typical of China Government, killing chickens and monkeys, they are the chicken!

Although the representative lawyer of Microsoft kept defending, it did not help. The court ruled that Microsoft was found guilty of monopoly and was fined more than 1,836 million yuan and must disclose the source code of some products. This figure has created a new record for China Government’s fines, and it has not been broken for many years!

When I came out of the court, a group of Chinese and foreign journalists gathered around. The strong performance of China has left many people unthinkable. Directly rejecting the out-of-court settlement, the final judgment was made three times. Order Microsoft to pay a fine within a limited time, otherwise Microsoft will be seized in China’s Corporation account!

On the issue of monopoly, Microsoft, once again lost!
