Microsoft's new system has been released, and there is a feeling of exaltation from the top to the bottom. In recent months, they were oppressed by Lianxiang Yinshan, which made them rather depressed.
Microsoft has not been so angry since 95 years ago. Even 95 years ago, Microsoft was very powerful, but not so strong.
Since 1995, which hardware company doesn't look at Microsoft's face? All the hardware must be matched with Microsoft's system, because this system is the best to use and the largest sales volume. PC pre installed with Microsoft system will sell better.
And the application software developed by those software companies should also be able to run on Microsoft's system. If not, the sales volume will not be very good, unless it is a special kind of application software.
Microsoft has been the hegemon for ten years. Even if the whole world is suing Microsoft, it can't shake the position of the hegemon. But they were challenged by a company they never looked at.
From smartphone operating system to office software to PC operating system, every step seems to be against Microsoft.
At that time, Microsoft couldn't teach each other a lesson.
Now it's different. Once Microsoft's new system is released, according to the past practice, the opponent will soon lose. The original competitors were defeated by Microsoft in this way, and this time it is no exception.
Just when Bill Gates and others thought they could reap the fruits of victory, Steve Ballmer brought bad news.
"Bill, Intel refused our request."
"What? I dare to refuse our request! " Bill Gates feels incredible.
We can't say that Intel is always looking forward to Microsoft, but since Microsoft became the leader of the industry, 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. The credit of Microsoft is greater than that of all hardware manufacturers.
It can also be said that Microsoft's success has brought greater benefits to those hardware manufacturers. Even the top-level Intel among hardware manufacturers has not always required the CPU to cooperate with Microsoft's system.
Aren't they afraid that Microsoft will add some programs to the system to optimize the performance of Huawei's CPU?
Yes, I'm not afraid of Intech now, because Chaowei has been in Feng Yu's arms. It can be said that he and Lianxiang Yinshan are already together.
Before, Intel had no choice. Microsoft was the only one. Neither IBM nor fruit company could have any impact on Microsoft. Microsoft's software and even it hegemony were unbreakable.
But now it's different. Intel has a new choice. They can choose to support XOS, a cheaper system, which is also in the interests of PC manufacturers.
The interests of PC manufacturers are consistent with those of hardware manufacturers, or complementary.
That is to say, now Intel can ask Microsoft to make some changes in turn, such as reducing the price, or it will not load the core of Microsoft in their chips.
"Bill, the impact of XOS is bigger than we think, and even think of Yinshan software company has paid a great price, just to promote their system. Now more than half of the hardware manufacturers and PC manufacturers have been taken by them. According to this trend, all hardware manufacturers in the future will support XOS, without exception. At that time, we will be more passive. "
Software is powerful and can check and balance hardware manufacturers, but hardware manufacturers can also check and balance software companies. This is why Microsoft has been unable to make its own brand PC, although they have great advantages, because they can't.
Once Microsoft takes advantage of its software hegemony to produce PC, the interests of other PC manufacturers will be greatly hurt. Microsoft may really monopolize this industry, which is what those hardware manufacturers absolutely do not want to see.
So if Microsoft wants to produce PC, then all hardware manufacturers will raise the price of goods, so that Microsoft's PC has no price competitiveness at all, and even the poor price performance is appalling. Even if Microsoft's software is itself, it can't make up the gap in this respect.
Microsoft talked to Intel this time that it no longer carries the XOS system, which is dedicated to Microsoft's system, so as to exclude the sales of XOS system in the position of Intel as the CPU leader.
But they forgot that it was not the time for them to open their mouth casually and the other party had to abide by it. They put forward this condition without any benefit to Intech. How could Intech agree to it?
What's more, even think that Yinshan has given Intech some benefits and made Intech more satisfied.
"Contact with all hardware manufacturers, even think that Yinshan must have given them benefits. Do you think we have to pay some price to exclude them and sign exclusive contract, or compete with Lianxiang Yinshan Bill Gates hesitated when he first made a decision.
"It's impossible to have an exclusive contract. They must have signed the contract first. The price we have to pay will be very high, so we can only compete positively." Balmer hesitated."Then do it, sign the contract as soon as possible, and we will use the market to talk!"
Ballmer just left, and Paul Allen came in.
"Bill, it doesn't look very optimistic."
"Not so optimistic, but we are Microsoft, our position is not so easy to challenge!" Bill Gates has confidence on his face.
"Our new system has been released for several days, but those software companies have not announced that they will launch products that only support our new system, or even are compatible with our new system, which is impossible before!"
Before Microsoft launched the new system, those software companies will announce to develop products that support the new system of Microsoft, and make the original products compatible with the new system of Microsoft.
But this time, it seems that all software companies are silent. It seems that they have not considered supporting Microsoft's system at all.
If Microsoft's system is not supported, how can their products be sold and used by more users? Unless they think that more users will choose XOS system, or continue to use XP system, and not many people will choose to buy this Vista new system!
"Don't worry. At this time, we must be tough. Let those software companies understand that it is their loss not to support our new system. When those PC manufacturers launch the computers with our new system, they will regret it and make compatibility patches! "
Bill Gates' confidence also infected Paul Allen. He thought about it and agreed with Bill Gates because they are Microsoft!
