“Of course it is a more compact MSN!!” Bill Gates couldn’t help laughing heartily.

Seeing this, some readers may be puzzled. Isn’t the installation package bigger the better, because it means more experience and functions of the program?

This may be a normal idea in later generations, but in 1999, no one ever hoped that the bigger the package, the better.

The reason is simple, everyone’s computer capacity is too small.

In 1999, the standard hard disk size of home computers was about 2GB. If anyone’s computer hard disk can have a 5GB, it will be the best computer.

At the same time, because computers are expensive, many people’s computers are computers from the 1990s and political 80s. The capacity of these computers is even more pitiful. They are all calculated in MB.

So the vast majority of computers and users now hate large installation packages.

Take QQ as an example, an installation package can reach nearly 50MB.

For a computer with a 2GB hard disk capacity, the Windows95 installation system requires 200MB of space. If you include various commonly used software, the 2GB of space can leave 1GB of space even if it is very remarkable.

But a computer is definitely not just to install some common software, the most important thing is to install games, and a game is very big, taking the newly released red alert 2 for example, the capacity is astonishing 310MB.

Three red alert 2s can occupy the entire hard drive.

And as the computer continues to run, all kinds of junk files will continue to be born. These days, there is no computer cleaning assistant this thing. These junks are difficult to clean up automatically. As a result, they accumulate more and more, and the space is further compressed. .

It’s really hard for many users to squeeze out 50MB of space.

Of course, as long as you squeeze and delete some trash, the 50MB of space can still be squeezed out, but anyone looking at the dampness in his computer, and all the hard drives are red Full state, the mood will be very bad.

So users of this age, when they are installing software, most of the time they will check the size of the software for the first time. If it is too big, they will give up the installation.

On the contrary, if it is dainty and delicate, they will instinctively choose.

This is exactly why Bill Gates laughed heartily. As an elite in the computer industry, he certainly knows how fascinating the user is to compress the installation package to less than 10MB.

“Chairman, the installation package is smaller, so the download speed is naturally faster!” Hulk on the side continued, “The average download speed in the US is about 26KB per second.”

“We conducted a test, and it took at least half an hour to download QQ at this speed. At the same time, we also surveyed many users, because each network is different, and stability is very prone to problems. It often happens that the connection is disconnected in the middle of the download and the download needs to be re-downloaded. This makes downloading QQ become a torture. Some people even cannot download QQ completely after seven or eight hours of downloading!”

“But our MSN installation package is only 7.8MB, which is one-eighth the size of QQ, so the download speed is 8 times faster. If you have good luck, you can download it in just a few minutes. At the same time because of the download The time is short, so download disconnection rarely happens, which further improves the stability of the download!” Hulk proudly said.

“For example, if you download QQ, then it is equivalent to one cow for a meal. Even if it’s dead, it’s hard to finish a meal. But if you download our MSN, it’s just a roast It’s just chicken, maybe one meal is not enough!”

“Okay!!!” Bill Gates smiled very brightly on his face. Both of these improvements are very critical, and users will love them.

But Hulk went on to say, “Chairman, because MSN is small enough, it will take up very little memory, and it will run faster. I let people estimate that if it is streamlined, then MSN will be smooth The degree will be more than doubled, and at the same time, the chances of system freezing, stalemate, or simply crashing will also drop to a very low level. The experience of our software cannot be added!”

“Okay!” Bill Gates smiled more brilliantly.

Immediately afterwards, Hulk personally gave a presentation for Bill Gates.

And Hulk also ingeniously designed a comparison group. He first put the MSN installation package on a public server, and then blocked Bill Gates’s face, downloading both QQ and MSN software at the same time .

As a result, the download of MSN was completed smoothly in less than five minutes, while the download of QQ was only about 20%.

As a result, the two people waited 20 minutes for QQ to download.

The installation of the two software immediately followed, and that was the beginning.

I have to admit that the installation speed of MSN is also extremely fast, almost completed in a blink of an eye, while the installation of QQ took about 3 minutes to complete, and there was a problem of installation failure and reinstallation.

When I saw this, Bill Gates’ smile was almost overflowing.

Finally, it is the experience of the smooth running of the two. The two computers start to enter the level at the same time, and 100 friends have been added to the two accounts in advance.

“Start sending messages!” Hulk gave an order, and these 100 friends sent messages to this account at the same time, and Hulk was responsible for opening these pop-up windows.

As a result, after about ten pop-up windows were opened, QQ got stuck and the computer could not be controlled. No matter how you click the mouse, the screen is motionless.

And MSN persisted until the fortieth pop-up window before letting the system crash.

“Very good!!!” Bill Gates couldn’t hold back his smile at this moment. He patted Hulk’s shoulder hard, and then said directly, “Mr. Hulk is really a great talent. In front of the new version of MSN QQsimply is not an opponent. I announced that this upgraded version will be released immediately, and Mr. Hulk will fully implement the daily management and operation of MSN!!!”

“No hurry!” Faced with Bill Gates’s appreciation and responsibility, Hulk said very calmly, “Even if we all feel good, it does not necessarily mean what the users mean. So, we might as well discuss it now. The internal beta BAT version released on, let a small number of users test it and see their evaluation before making a decision!”

“After all, changing the big version is a very big thing, and it will affect the experience of all existing users. If you don’t have to directly change the user’s feedback, there is still a big hidden danger!” Hulk said.

“Good! Excellent!” Bill Gates completely trusted and admired Hulk, and at the same time began to believe that it was Steve Jobs who took Hulk’s credit.

After all, it is really rare for Hulk to be such a steady and meticulous person. This is what Microsoft needs!
