Chapter 1464

Bill Gates's so-called sweeping cut is to let Microsoft issue an announcement to stop the update and maintenance of XP system at the beginning of next year, that is to say, XP system has completely entered the countdown.

In this way, he wants to force those software suppliers to make a choice, so that they must quickly launch software compatible with Vista system. No matter how strong the rising trend of XOS is now, no one believes that XOS will beat Microsoft.

Because Microsoft has another way to recover the decline, that is to continue to update and maintain XP, so that the sales of XP will resume, and the sales of XOS will be greatly affected.

Those users who use XP now don't need to change the system or adapt to the new system. The original software compatibility problems have also been solved a lot.

Only in this way, it will not only affect the sales of XOS, but also affect the sales of Microsoft system.

Who is willing to choose this way before the last resort? This choice means that Microsoft has failed in this new system war.

Although the market can be recovered, the myth of Microsoft will be broken. This is what Bill Gates does not want to see and what Microsoft cannot bear!

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

Before they saw the sales of XOS in full swing, they thought that Microsoft would compromise, continue to maintain the update of XP, and slowly sell vista.

How could Microsoft really choose such an extreme way? This is to force users and PC manufacturers to make a choice. Microsoft, or even think of Yinshan!

……

"Is Microsoft crazy to adopt this extreme approach? XP has only been used for a few years, and it's still very easy to use. Why stop updating and maintenance? " Someone asked.

"You go to the computer city to have a look. There are not many people buying XP system computers now, because they think that they will need to change new systems before long. Microsoft has launched a new vista system. As a result, the market is not as responsive as the XOS system. Can they be annoyed? "

"Angry? It's more than just being annoyed. To put it bluntly, it's about interests. Microsoft has been challenged by Lianxiang Yinshan. Now let users and PC manufacturers choose which side to support. I support XOS anyway. Those games can only run on the system of XOS. "

"Well, can't we go to Microsoft's official website and ask Microsoft to continue to provide update and maintenance services for XP?"

"Well, it's hard, isn't it? But do you ask others to comply? Other people sell systems to make money. They can't always serve you for free. Which product's after-sales service can you see for a lifetime? "

Although some people say that, but there are many people, went to Microsoft's official website to leave a message, hoping that Microsoft will continue to provide updates and maintenance for XP.

Because there are too many people leaving messages at the same time, it also causes the crowding of Microsoft's official website, which makes Bill Gates see the hope of victory.

……

"Bill, it seems that more people like our Microsoft products." Paul Allen's face was haughty.

"Yes, we are the best PC system company in the world. Our system has the most users. But don't worry. When WIN2000 stopped updating and maintaining, didn't many people leave messages on our website, but they all bought our XP system disk in the end? " With a smile on his lips, Bill Gates seems to be on the way to the discovery they want.

At this time, Ballmer expressed a different opinion: "then they will definitely not buy the system disk of XOS, after all, it is cheaper and similar to XP's operating habits."

Paul Allen frowned and said, "Steve, you are the president and CEO of Microsoft. Which side are you on?"

"Of course I know where I am, and I am a shareholder of Microsoft. But what I want to say is the fact, which we can't avoid. So our top priority is to let those software vendors make compatibility patches for our vista system as soon as possible, which is the key! " Ballmer looked at Bill Gates and totally ignored Paul Allen.

Although Paul Allen has become one of Microsoft's two arrogants, known as the super genius with an IQ of 220, who has a full mark in any exam and outstanding scores, a good engineer doesn't mean a good businessman.

In Ballmer's view, Bill Gates is also not a good businessman. He used to think too much of power and too proud.

By default, Bauer made the most wrong decision for Bill Gates, which was to drive Feng Yu away from Microsoft, so that Feng Yu could make up his mind to break up with Microsoft and create such a silver mountain.

If Bill Gates can respect Feng Yu a little more, the biggest possibility of even thinking about Yinshan is to merge into Microsoft Huaxia branch and become their new profit growth point.

In such a short period of time, Feng Yu can support an even thinking Yinshan. If he really contributes to Microsoft, how powerful Microsoft should be!Even Ballmer once thought that, under normal circumstances, Feng Yu should be the most suitable person for the next chairman of Microsoft. After Bill Gates retired, Ballmer was willing to support Feng Yu and let Microsoft continue to stand at the top of the IT industry.

But at that time, Bill Gates could not listen to others at all, and Bill Gates might not like Feng Yu, who could challenge his position as the richest man in the world at that time.

When used to be the first person, can't see others challenge him.

Even now, Bill Gates is constantly being held down by Feng Yu on the rich list, and the gap is bigger year by year. Bill Gates must have a lot of complaints about Feng Yu. The relationship between Microsoft and Feng Yu is doomed to be the enemy!

But Bill Gates is still so arrogant, so is Paul Allen, which makes Ballmer have to throw some cold water on them.

When we were strong, when we were alone and invincible, it was normal to be arrogant, and I was also proud. But now is not the time to continue to be arrogant. We should see the reality clearly.

When XP stopped updating and maintenance, Ballmer was very clear about his opposition, but Bill Gates and Paul Allen both agreed, so it could not be changed.

Knowing that Microsoft made this decision, Feng Yu was even more happy. In his opinion, Microsoft has made a great move!

If XP continues to update and maintain, and continues to sell, it can also encircle the XOS system. But they made their own way and announced to stop updating and maintenance. This is to get the users to even think of Yinshan. They can't even do it!
