Extraordinary Genius

1456. The 1456 chapter of the rebellious Microsoft?

Microsoft’s new system has been released, and Microsoft has a feeling of being up and down. These months were suppressed by Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation, which made them quite depressed.

Microsoft hasn’t had this temper since 95. Even before 95, Microsoft was already very strong, but it was not so strong.

Starting from 95, which hardware manufacturer doesn’t look at Microsoft’s face? All hardware must be compatible with Microsoft’s system, because this system is best used and has the largest sales. PCs pre-installed with Microsoft systems will sell better.

And the software developers developed by the software vendors must also be able to run on Microsoft’s systems. If not, then the sales volume will not be too good, except for the special kind of application software.

Microsoft has been the hegemon of the decade, and even the whole world is suing Microsoft, and it cannot shake the status of Microsoft. But it was challenged by a Corporation that they never looked at.

From the smartphone operating system to the office software to the PC operating system, every step seems to be against Microsoft.

At that time, Microsoft could not teach each other.

And now it’s different, once Microsoft’s new system is released, according to past practice, the opponent will quickly retreat. The original competitors were so defeated by Microsoft, and this time is no exception.

Just as Bill Gates and others thought it would be possible to harvest the fruits of victory, Steve Ballmer brought a bad news.

“Bill, Intel rejected our request.”

“What? Intel dared to reject our request!” Bill Gates felt incredible.

It can’t be said that Intel has always been the leader of their Microsoft, but since their Microsoft became the industry Boss, Intel needs to look at Microsoft’s face. It can be said that it is because of Microsoft’s system that the computer industry has developed rapidly. Microsoft’s credit is greater than that of all hardware vendors.

It can also be said that Microsoft’s success has brought greater benefits to those hardware vendors. Even the top Intel in the hardware vendors, it has not always been necessary to require the CPU to cooperate with Microsoft’s system.

Are they not afraid that Microsoft will add some programs to the system to optimize the CPU performance of Chaowei?

Yes, Intel is really not afraid now, because Chaowei has invested in Feng Yu’s embrace, and it can be said that it is already a group with Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation.

Intel had no choice before. Microsoft’s biggest one, neither IBM nor Apple Corporation, could have any impact on Microsoft. Microsoft’s software and even IT hegemony are unbreakable.

But now it’s different, Intel has a new choice. They can choose to support XOS, a cheaper system that is in the interest of PC vendors.

The interests of PC vendors are consistent with the interests of hardware vendors, or they are complementary.

That is to say, Intel can now ask Microsoft to make some changes, such as lowering some of the price, otherwise it will not be loaded on Microsoft’s core.

“Bill, the impact of XOS is even bigger than we think, and the Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation software Corporation has paid a great price to promote their systems. Now more than half of the hardware and PC vendors have been taken by them. According to this trend, all future hardware vendors will support XOS, without exception. At that time, we are more passive.”

The software is powerful enough to check the hardware vendors, but the hardware vendors can unite and balance the software. That’s why Microsoft has been unable to make its own branded PCs all the time, although they have great advantages because they can’t.

Once Microsoft uses its software hegemony to produce PCs, the interests of other PC makers will be hit hard, and Microsoft may really monopolize the industry, which is something that hardware vendors definitely don’t want to see.

So if Microsoft wants to produce PCs, then all the hardware factories will increase the shipping price, so that Microsoft’s PCs are not price competitive at all, and even the price/performance ratio is horrible. Even if Microsoft’s software is itself, it can’t make up for this. The gap in terms.

Microsoft talked to Intel about this time, no longer equipped with XOS system, dedicated to Microsoft’s system, thus taking the position of Intel CPUBoss, crowding out XOS system sales.

But they forgot that they are not opening their mouths at the beginning, and the other party must obey. They proposed this condition, but did not give Intel any benefit. How could Intel agree?

What’s more, Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation gave Intel some benefits and made Intel more satisfied.

“Contacting all hardware vendors, Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation is definitely giving them benefits. You said that we also paid a price, crowded them out, signed an exclusive contract, or competed with Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation?” Bill Gates The first time he hesitated when making a decision.

“The exclusive contract is unlikely. Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation must have signed the contract first. The price we have to pay will be very large, so we can only compete positively.” Ballmer hesitated.

“Let’s do it, sign the contract as soon as possible, and we will use the market to speak!”

Ballmer just left and Paul Allen walked in.

“Bill, it looks too optimistic.”

“It’s not very optimistic, but we are Microsoft, our position is not so easy to challenge!” Bill Gates looked confident.

“Our new system has been released for a few days, but those software organizations have not announced that they will launch products that only support our new system, even products that are compatible with our new system. This was not possible before. !”

After Microsoft introduced the new system, those software organizations announced the development of products that support Microsoft’s new system, and the original product is compatible with Microsoft’s new system.

But this time, it seems that all the software organizations are not buzzing, it seems that they have not considered at all, the same as Microsoft’s support system.

If Microsoft’s system is not supported, how can their products be sold and how can they be used by more users? Unless they think that more users will choose the XOS system, or continue to use the XP system, and not many people will choose to buy this new VISTA system!

“Don’t worry, at this time, we must be tough. Let the software Corporation understand that it does not support our new system, it is their loss. After those PC manufacturers launch computers equipped with our new system, they will regret it. Will be awkward to do compatibility patches!”

Bill Gates’s self-confidence also infected Paul Allen, who thought about it and agreed with Bill Gates’s point of view, just because they are Microsoft!
