Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1422: Microsoft's Stinky Chess

Bill Gates' so-called cauldron-bottom raise was to get Microsoft to announce that it would stop up-to-date maintenance of the XP system at the beginning of next year, meaning that the XP system was completely in the countdown.

In doing so, he wanted to force software vendors to make choices that made it imperative that they urgently roll out VISTA-compatible software. No matter how strong XOS is now, I'm sure no one thinks XOS will defeat Microsoft.

Because there is another way for Microsoft to reverse its downside, which is to continue updating and maintaining XP so that XP sales will resume and XOS sales will be greatly affected.

Those who now use XP don't have to replace the system, they don't have to adapt to the new system, and those original software compatibility issues have become much better solved.

However, this not only affects XOS sales, but also Microsoft sales, which is a two-way defeat.

Who would be willing to make that choice if it weren't for necessity? And this choice means that Microsoft, in this new system of war, failed.

Although the market can be recovered, the myth of Microsoft is about to be broken. Is this Bill? What Gates didn't want to see was something Microsoft couldn't bear!

After the announcement, it was not only in the traditional media, but also on the Internet.

Previously, they saw XOS sales in full swing and thought Microsoft would compromise to keep XP up-to-date while slowly selling VISTA.

How do you know that Microsoft would really choose such an extreme solution, which is to force users and PC vendors to make choices, Microsoft, or even think about Silver Mountain!

……

“Is Microsoft insane to use this extreme approach? XP has only been used for a few years, it still works very well, why stop updating maintenance?” Someone asked.

“You go to Computer City and look at all the computers in the XP system, not many people buy them now, because they don't think it's going to take long to replace the new system. Microsoft launched a new VISTA system, and the market echoed, not as good as the XOS system, so can they not be upset? ”

“Angry? It's more than just annoyance. To be honest, it's a matter of interest. Microsoft was challenged by Lenovo Silver Mountain, and now lets users and PC vendors choose which side to support. I support XOS anyway, and those games, they only work on XOS systems. ”

“Eh, can't we leave a message on Microsoft's official website asking Microsoft to continue to provide updated maintenance services to XP? ”

“Well, that sounds hard, doesn't it? But do you expect others to comply? People sell the system to make money, they can't always serve you for free. Which product can you see after-sales for the rest of your life? ”

Although some have said this, there are a lot of people who have gone to Microsoft's official website to leave messages, hoping that Microsoft will continue to provide updated maintenance for XP.

And because there were so many people leaving messages at the same time, there was a crowd on Microsoft's website, and that made Bill? Gates, they see hope for victory.

……

“Bill, it looks like more people like our Microsoft products.” Paul? Alan looked arrogant.

“Yes, we are the best company in the world with PC systems, our systems, with the largest number of users. But don't worry, when WIN2000 stopped updating and maintenance, there were a lot of people leaving messages on our website, but didn't they all buy our XP drives in the end?” Bill? Gates smiled at the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that the situation was moving towards the discovery they wanted.

Ballmer disagreed at this point: "Then they're sure they won't buy an XOS drive, which is cheaper after all, and similar to XP's operating habits. ”

Paul Allen frowned and scolded, "Steve, you know where you stand as Microsoft's president and CEO?! ”

“Of course I know where I am and I am a Microsoft shareholder. But what I want to say is the truth, a fact that we cannot avoid. So our top priority is to get those software vendors to patch our VISTA system for compatibility as soon as possible, and that's the key!” Ballmer, look at Bill? Gates, completely ignore Paul? Alan.

Though Paul? Alan was made one of Microsoft's two prides, calling himself the super genius of the IQ 220, what exam score, and outstanding grades, but a good engineer doesn't mean he's a good businessman.

In Ballmer's opinion, Bill? Gates, too, is not a good businessman. He used to see power too heavily and too proud.

Bauer defaults to Bill? The most wrong decision Gates made was to push Feng Yu away from Microsoft, so that Feng Yu could make up his mind to break with Microsoft and come out with such a reminiscence of Silver Mountain.

What if Bill? Gates had a little more respect for Feng Yu, so the biggest possibility to even think about Silver Mountain was to merge into Microsoft Huaxia Branch and become their new profit growth point for Microsoft.

In such a short period of time, Feng Yu can help to think of Silver Mountain. If he truly contributes to Microsoft, how powerful should Microsoft be!

Even Ballmer thought, if it's normal, then Feng Yu should be Microsoft's next chairman, in Bill? After Gates retired, Ballmer was willing to support Feng Yu and keep Microsoft at the top of the IT industry.

But then Bill? Gates, you can't listen to anybody, and Bill? Gates probably wouldn't have liked Feng Woo, who could have challenged his world's richest position at the time.

When you're used to the first person, you can't see others challenging him.

Even now, Bill? Gates was held back by Feng Yu on the billionaire list, and the gap was bigger a year than a year, Bill? Gates must have a lot of resentment towards Feng Yu. Microsoft's relationship with Feng Yu is doomed to be the enemy!

Kobil? Gates still so arrogant, Paul? So did Allen, which forced Ballmer to pour some cold water on them.

When we are strong, when we are alone, pride is normal, and I am proud. But now is not the time to remain arrogant. It is time to see the reality.

When XP stopped updating maintenance, Ballmer objected very clearly, but Bill? Gates and Paul? If Allen agrees, it can't be changed.

And Feng Yu, who knew that Microsoft had made this decision, was even happier. In his opinion, Microsoft is a super piece of chess!

If XP continues to update maintenance and continue to sell, it will also create a fence for the XOS system. But they were on their way to extinction and announced that they would stop updating and maintenance. This is to bring users to the embrace of Silver Mountain completely. Don't even think about it!
