Extraordinary Genius

Microsoft's new system has been released, and Microsoft has a feeling of frowning and exhaling up and down. These months have been suppressed by even thinking about Silver Mountain, making them quite depressed.

Microsoft has not suffered from this gas since 95 years. Even 95 years ago, Microsoft was very powerful, but it wasn't that powerful.

Which hardware dealer hasn't looked at Microsoft since '95? All hardware must be compatible with Microsoft's system because it works best and sells the most. PC pre-installed with Microsoft system will sell better.

And the applications developed by those software providers, they have to be able to run on Microsoft's systems, and if they can't, the sales won't be too good, unless it's that special kind of application.

Microsoft has been a dominant for 10 years, and even the world can't shake Microsoft's position without accusing Microsoft. But it was challenged by a company that they never saw.

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

At that time, Microsoft was unable to teach each other a lesson.

Unlike now, once Microsoft's new system is released, the opponent will soon fail according to past practice. That's how those competitors were defeated by Microsoft, and this time it won't be an exception.

Right here in Bill? When Gates et al. think they can harvest the fruit of victory, Steve? Ballmer brought bad news.

“Bill, Intel refused our request. ”

“What? How dare Intel refuse our request!” Bill? Gates feels incredible.

It can't be said that Intel has always been the star of Microsoft for them, but since they became the boss of Microsoft, Intel has always needed to see Microsoft's face. It is precisely because of Microsoft's systems that the computer industry has grown rapidly, and Microsoft's credit is greater than that of all hardware manufacturers.

It can also be said that Microsoft's success brings greater benefits to those hardware manufacturers, even the most advanced Intel among hardware manufacturers, and has not always required CPUs to cooperate with Microsoft's systems?

Aren't they afraid of Microsoft adding programs to the system to optimize the CPU performance of Superpower?

Yes, now that Intel is really not afraid, because Super Wei has invested in Feng Yu's embrace, it can be said that he is already with Lianxiao Yinshan.

Previously, Intel had no choice, and Microsoft, a unique company, neither IBM nor fruit, could have any impact on Microsoft, and Microsoft's software or even the status of IT master was unbreakable.

But now it's different. Intel has new choices. They can choose to support XOS, a cheaper system, which is also in the interest of PC manufacturers.

The interests of PC manufacturers are consistent with those of hardware manufacturers, or mutually reinforcing.

That is, Intel can now, in turn, ask Microsoft to make some changes, such as lower sales prices, or else not load the core of Microsoft in their chips.

“Bill, XOS has had a bigger impact than we thought, and even thought Silver Mountain Software had paid a huge price to promote their systems. Now more than half of the hardware and PC manufacturers have been taken down by them. Looking at this trend, all future hardware vendors will support XOS without exception. And then we were even more passive. ”

Software is strong enough to counterbalance hardware manufacturers, but hardware manufacturers can combine to counterbalance software companies as well. That's why Microsoft has been unable to make its own brand PC, although they have great advantages, just because they can't.

Once Microsoft takes advantage of the dominance of their software to produce PCs, the interests of other PC manufacturers will be hit hard, and Microsoft may have a real monopoly on the industry, which those hardware manufacturers will never want to see.

So if Microsoft wants to produce a PC, all hardware manufacturers will raise the shipping price, making Microsoft's PC completely uncompetitive, and even inexpensive, even if Microsoft's software is itself, it can't close the gap.

What Microsoft is talking about this time with Intel is that it will no longer be equipped with the XOS system, dedicated to Microsoft's system, thus excluding sales of the XOS system in Intel's capacity as the head of the CPU.

But they forgot that they were no longer talking casually and that it was time for the other party to comply. How is it possible for them to agree to this condition without giving Intel any benefit?

Not to mention that Silver Mountain gave Intel some benefits, which made Intel more satisfied.

“Contacting all hardware manufacturers must have been good for Silver Mountain. Do you think we're paying a price too, crowding them out, signing an exclusive contract, or competing positively with Lenovo Silver Hill?” Bill? Gates first hesitated when he made his decision.

“Exclusive contracts are unlikely. Even thinking about Silver Mountain, they must have signed the contract first. The price we have to pay will be huge, so we can only compete positively.” Ballmer hesitated for a moment.

“Then do it, sign the contract as soon as possible, and we'll talk in the market! ”

Ballmer just left, Paul? Alan walked in, too.

“Bill, it doesn't look very optimistic. ”

“Not very optimistic, but we are Microsoft and our status is not so easy to challenge!” Bill? Gates looked confident.

“It's been a few days since our new system was released, but those software companies haven't announced that they're only going to launch products that support our new system, not even products that are compatible with our new system, which couldn't have happened before! ”

Previously, when Microsoft introduced the new system, those software companies would announce the development of products that supported the new Microsoft system and would make the original product compatible with the new Microsoft system.

But this time, as if all software companies were silent, as if they hadn't thought about it at all, supporting Microsoft's systems.

If Microsoft systems are not supported, how do their products sell and how can they be used by more users? Unless they think more users will choose the XOS system or continue to use the XP system, few will choose to buy this new VISTA system!

“Don't worry, we have to be tough at this point. Let those software companies know that it's their loss not to support our new system. When those PC vendors launch computers with our new system, they'll regret it and be good at making compatibility patches! ”

Bill Gates' confidence, too, infected Paul? Alan, did he think about it and agree with Bill? Gates' point, because they're Microsoft!
