Chapter 1066

After all the congratulations, Linus took the lead in speaking. He joined the "second world", although it was a spur of the moment. But to challenge the hegemony of "Microsoft", this belief has been in Linus' heart for a long time. But there has been no chance, this time to join the "second world", is the opportunity that Linus thinks!

"Mr. Lin, Bruce also talked to me about the game entertainment system. I also have a general understanding of the process. " Linus frowned and said, "according to the current progress, I'm afraid that in the future, this" game entertainment system "will become an exclusive game entertainment system. Besides playing games and watching movies, it can't do anything else."

Bruce nodded. This "game entertainment system" is indeed like what Linus said. It will become a very separate game entertainment system in the future. It is impossible to be all inclusive and compatible like the "windows" system!

"If so, although there will be better development in games and entertainment, I'm afraid there will be no development in other aspects." Linus said.

An operating system, just to help players to manage and maintain hardware, so that players more convenient to use the computer. But for a computer, hardware is only its "trunk", software is its "soul". A computer without software is an empty shell, which is useless“ Although the "operating system" is important, there is no other software, it is just a computer that can be turned on. At present, most of the software in the industry is based on the "windows" kernel. It is not compatible with the "game entertainment system" currently being developed by "second world". If it's compatible, it's bad.

"Linus, it's the same with Linux, and it's not compatible with all kinds of software. So it can't really be popularized, it can only become a professional system in the hands of major programmers. " Bruce reminded.

It can be said that there is no difference between "game entertainment system" and "Linux" now, both of them belong to a single and incompatible operating system.

"Yes, that's why Linux can't be popularized!" Linus said helplessly, but turned to his eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past, Linux could not be popularized because of compatibility problems, and could not challenge Microsoft. But I can't, it doesn't mean that second world can't, it doesn't mean that Lin Dong can't!" Linus said with a smile.

The crowd was slightly stunned. They don't think that "the second world" has such powerful ability to challenge "Microsoft" in the operating system field. If you want to challenge "Microsoft", it's not only the courage and money, but also the support of the whole IT industry. But to be honest, the IT industry is quite realistic. If there is a convenient and dominant system in the market, who will replace it with a brand-new system that still needs R & D and market proof?

"That's why I said that our chairman, Mr. Lin, can solve this compatibility problem!" Linus said with a smile.

Lin Feng was stunned. Can you solve it by yourself—— Lin Feng really didn't know how he could solve the problem. You know, although Lin Feng wants to challenge "Microsoft", he doesn't think it's a very easy thing. I'm afraid it will be a protracted war. Linfeng was really surprised that Linus said that he could solve the biggest compatibility problem faced by other operating systems.

"Ha ha, don't underestimate your ability, Lin Dong." Linus smiles.

"Mr. Lin and Mr. Bruce, I propose that the game entertainment system be completely re developed and based on the Linux kernel. After all, at present, "Linux" already has a certain popularity and market in the world. In the future, once the R & D is completed and the market is launched, it will be relatively easy for all sectors of society to accept it. " Linus said.

Bruce nodded. It's really a tricky thing to take the "Linux" kernel as the basis. But now the problem is compatibility! If we don't solve this problem, the newly developed system is still difficult to popularize!

"As for compatibility, we can only see the personal charm of Dong Lin!" Linus smiles.

My personal charm—— Lin Feng pointed to his nose.

"Ha ha, don't underestimate your popularity. With your current position, I believe you should be able to let many software companies in the industry develop the corresponding "Linux" software. In fact, for the vast majority of ordinary computer users, as long as the computer can play games, surf the Internet, watch movies, and occasionally use some small software. I have statistics, involving no more than 50 ordinary software! And Mr. Lin's charm, I believe, is absolutely able to make these 50 software develop the corresponding "Linux" version Linus said.

Lin Fengyan nodded. Indeed, if you visit in person, the companies that download tools, antivirus software, map software and so on should give you this face. After all, for them, re-development of such a software, the cost of human and material resources is not big.

"Of course, it's just ordinary individual users. In fact, computer sales are mainly divided into enterprise users and personal computer users. At present, we can only temporarily give up enterprise users and focus on personal computer users! " Linus sighed.

Compared with enterprise users, their requirements for the operating system are much higher. It not only requires stability, but also needs to use some professional software. All of these softwares are developed with the "windows" kernel. If these companies want to develop a version based on "Linux", I'm afraid they may not agree. After all, these companies spend millions of dollars or even tens of millions of dollars to develop such a software. If they develop the corresponding "Linux" version, they will naturally spend a lot of money, but how much can they sell? I'm afraid it's hard.

In this case, major software companies, such as Adobe (which designed "Photoshop" software) and Autodesk (which designed "AutoCAD" software), may not give Lin Feng face. After all, this face is too expensive. Unless Lin Feng is willing to pay for its research and development. But it's definitely a stupid idea! absolutely! And if not, Lin Feng will be bankrupt!

Therefore, it is helpless to give up enterprise users and personal professional users temporarily. Only in the future, after the "second world" operating system is really popular, can it attract many companies to design the "Linux" version.

Linus sighed. He has studied "Linux" for so long that he can not understand why "Linus" can't catch up with "Microsoft" until now.

Of course, another reason why "Linux" can't catch up with "Microsoft" is the ease of operation!

"Mr. Lin, if you want to break this window, then my" system R & D department "must be equipped with enough people!" Linus said.

"At Microsoft, there are more than 2000 regular designers developing office software, and more than 5000 developers developing XP software! So far, I'm afraid I'm the only one in the system R & D department. " Linus said.

Lin Feng smiles awkwardly. Indeed, Bruce Allen and Cohen were jointly responsible for the "game entertainment system" before, and Cohen's "cloud computing" R & D personnel were mainly responsible for its R & D personnel. It can be said that the newly established "system R & D department" is also the sole commander of Linus.

"Linus, how many people do you want?" Asked Lin Feng.

"Mr. Lin, I don't ask much. I don't need 5000 people like XP. You give me 1000 people! Of course, the more talents, the better! " Linus said.

Scared! After hearing this, everyone took a cold breath. Now "second world" employs more than 20000 employees, but most of them are the production personnel of "amd" and "ATI" hardware manufacturers, real R & D personnel, top 10 game development departments, plus two hardware development departments, together with Cohen's "cloud computing" R & D department and "personal supercomputer" R & D department, with only 3546 employees in the headquarters. As a result, Linus now needs 1000 people, or at least! It's really embarrassing.

Wu Zhaopu also frowned. I'm afraid that the monthly salary, insurance, welfare and other expenses of these 1000 people who join the company will be as much as a few million dollars, which is not a small sum. Of course, if it can be successfully developed and launched in the market, it can naturally earn back. However, the market prospect... Wu Zhaopu really can't believe it.

After all, "Microsoft" is too strong!

1000 people! Linus needs 1000 people!

Lin Feng was also slightly surprised. I didn't expect Linus to take so many people this time. Of course, the company can't afford the salary of 1000 people. But there is a doubt that this system may not be completed in a short time, so we must use the money earned by the rest of the company to fill the deficit of the "system R & D department". Now the company has two corporate financial black holes, AMD and ATI. Adding a system R & D department will really be a bit hard.

Lin Feng looked at the people's faces, and saw that some agreed with them and some opposed them. It seemed that it was hard for them to hold up the flag for the R & D personnel that Linus asked for 1000 people!

"Vote! Let's vote! " Lin Feng said.

Then the crowd began to vote. In the end, without Lin Feng voting, the majority of the votes against the increase of 1000 people in the "system R & D department" of Linus, including Wu Zhaopu.

"Boss, once we add 1000 people to the system R & D department, I'm afraid Microsoft will know our intention. At that time, we got into trouble with the giant Microsoft Wu Zhaopu said.

Lu Zhiyi of AMD and he Guoyuan of ATI nodded. That's why they're against it. At present, the company has provoked the "Intel" industry giant, but the so-called "win Tel" alliance, because "Microsoft" has not been seriously threatened, so it has not been too much involved in the dispute between "Intel" and "the second world". However, once the "system R & D department" is expanded by 1000 people this time, it is Sima Zhao's heart and everyone knows it.

At that time, once "Microsoft" and "Intel" work together, it will be a disaster for "the second world". It's a disaster to get into trouble with the two giants all at once“ Intel can directly attack the second world in terms of hardware, and Microsoft can also make the second world's hardware in Microsoft's operating system far inferior to Intel's products at the same price by setting up its software.

Lin Feng saw that most of the people held the same idea as Wu Zhaopu. Even the directors of the top ten game R & D departments share the same view with Wu Zhaopu. Although the war between the hardware and they have nothing to do, but we all work in the same company, naturally for the company. It's not a good thing to irritate Microsoft at this time.

Linus saw that most of the people objected to his one breath increase of 1000 designers, but he felt helpless. He wants to tell the public that he is confident that he can develop a system comparable to Microsoft, but it needs huge funds and talent support. But he can't say that at the moment, because he can't guarantee that people will definitely be able to develop an operating system comparable to Microsoft. What's more, "Microsoft" is really powerful now!

Lin Feng looks at the crowd and smiles.

"What do you think, Linus?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Linus was stunned.

"Mr. Lin, I have confidence. We are confident that we can develop an operating system comparable to Microsoft. " Linus gritted his teeth.

"But how do you make sure this system will sell well. You know, if we can't make a big sale, it will infuriate the joint efforts of Microsoft and Intel, and I'm afraid it will also affect our company's hardware sales. " Wu Zhaopu said tit for tat.

Originally, the hardware of "amd" and "ATI" is a little worse than that of "Intel" and "NVIDIA". This will further infuriate "Microsoft" and make it do something. The hardware department of "second world" has suffered a devastating blow. And the game development department may even be implicated. After all, for a long time, the game development department has optimized the hardware of "amd" and "ATI". If "Microsoft" gets in the way, that advantage will be lost. If "Microsoft" is making some small moves for the game of "second world", then "second world" will really want to cry!

Of course, once this kind of small action is found out, it is also a devastating blow to "Microsoft". But the system belongs to "Microsoft", and all the power of interpretation is naturally in the hands of "Microsoft". Even if "the second world" gets any clues, it can't challenge "Microsoft"!
