Chapter 925: Pentakill Free

On the big screen as the background, a video started playing. In the video, an "iDesk" computer was booting up.
After the usual self-inspection guide interface, a small hand appeared on the computer screen. The small hand also held a pen. He drew a door on the dark screen and added a small handle at the end. , The little hand threw away the pen, twisted it on the little handle, and the door was pushed open
The scenery outside the door flooded into the audience's vision, and gradually enlarged as the program was loaded, as if someone had passed through that door and entered another world-a wonderful world composed of blue sky and white clouds.
The computer background desktop with blue sky and white clouds is very comfortable to look at, and it is clean and tidy. There are only a few small icons regularly placed, which look like a computer. Below it is labeled "My Computer", a small A calculator, a stick figure of a folder, labeled "iOffice", a round trash can, an icon of an unknown purpose that looks like a small house with a pointed top, and a small, white arrow.
this is……
"This is the epoch-making operating system "iDoor" launched by our "Matrix Lab"."
A young man wearing a plaid shirt and ripped jeans came to the center of the podium.
The audience can’t remember that it’s the first few times today to hear the word
epoch-making
, but what they are excited about is that every time they hear this word,
Matrix Lab
uses tangible products and Technology explains the meaning of the word.
And refreshed their cognition time and time again.
This time, obviously no exception will be made.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, I am S. McGregor, the deputy dean of the "Matrix Lab" Computer Algorithm Research Institute. Today, I will introduce to you a set of great and epoch-making operating systems— —IDoor, I believe you have already seen this set of operating systems running on the "iDesk" personal computer just launched by SGI. It has a full-graphic GUI user interface, a mouse click as the main method of operation, clear and simple The drop-down menu hierarchy... In short, this is a great system, a revolutionary system!"
Following McGregor’s narration, the large screen on the stage has been automatically switched to the operation projection of the computer screen, showing the operations being performed in front of the audience one by one, and everyone is immersed in what this system brings to people. In a new experience-simple and clear beautiful interface, almost no learning process, WYSIWYG working mode, convenient and quick to run the program with a single click of the mouse... Compared with MS-DOS, which also requires line-by-line input commands, This operating system is undoubtedly subversive!
What's more, in this system, the "Matrix" laboratory has developed a set of productivity tool package-"iOffice" that integrates text and table processing for all business workers!
There is no doubt that this set of office software systems will greatly improve the efficiency of desk work in the office, and will also sweep old office equipment such as typewriters that are still in various offices into the historical trash!
What made the audience even more excited was that in addition to "iOffice", "Matrix Lab" also adapted a set of "C" language compiler for this operating system!
This means that with the joint support of this operating system and the "C" language compiler, program developers can directly call ready-made function libraries without having to spend time writing graphical operation interfaces for their programs!
McGregor also emphasized that this set of compilers will have a set of standard programs and function libraries that are continuously upgraded and expanded for developers, such as standard timing programs, standard calculator programs, standard GUI interface programs, and standard mouse interface programs. , Standard "Help" indexing format, standard anti-piracy secret key generation program, etc.
In other words, on this system, programmers no longer need to write every required function in an obscure assembly language. They can write codes in a more efficient way and reference various standard programs as themselves. Part of the software is unified under the standard interface of "iDoor"; and users can also run and close these applications without barriers as soon as they obtain these applications, browse the basic functions through the standard drop-down menu, and use the "Help "The index figure out the general usage method of the software, thus greatly saving users the learning cost of using the new software.
There is no doubt that this combination boxing will be warmly welcomed by all users and program developers!
Lenovo's rich audience even immediately thought of the company that announced that it would release a graphics operating system at this CES exhibition-Microsoft.
They know that Mr. Bill Gates and his "Windows 1.0" system, which he has bounced many times, have ushered in their own rivals before they are officially released!
And this fully exposes the ambition of the "Matrix Lab" in vain to meddle or even unify the personal computer from the hardware to the operating system!
They didn't guess wrong.
Because, McGregor immediately released a piece of news that made them "again" uproar-the sales strategy of the basic version of the "iDoor" operating system is:
Forever, forever, free, fee!
Why say "again"...
After the huge uproar and applause, someone finally raised a question: "Excuse me, Mr. McGregor, for the majority of computer enthusiasts and users, free of charge is certainly a good thing, but how can the "Matrix" company support a large developer team? Develop the next version of an operating system that is better to use?"
McGregor did not answer immediately, but smiled and clicked on the small pointed house icon of unknown purpose. A line of small words floated on the screen: "iStoreloading..."
Some software icons appeared on the screen. McGregor moved the mouse, clicked one of them casually, and smiled: "First of all, I need to tell you that the "Matrix" laboratory has authorized the operating system "iDoorsoft". The company has full rights to promote and operate. Yes, I will be the first CEO of this company. At the same time, our business also includes selling the set of "iOffice" that you just saw with a retail price of $95... Well, it seems you guys More concerned about the last question."
McGregor smiled and pulled back to the topic again: "Look, everyone, this is a platform we built among all "iDoor" developers and users. We call it "iStore". Any developer can use it. It can be an individual or a company. Of course, the software published on it must be reviewed by our "Matrix" laboratory to ensure that there is no malicious code in it. For example, now I click This program is an Adobe product created by two of my former colleagues John Warnock and Charles Geschke who worked together at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center. They developed it two years ago. I have a very good image processing software. Well, look, this software is called "Photoshop". You can also see the detailed function introduction of this software and the method and price of buying it. We only need to call the above Phone, you can access our "iDoorsoft" call center to complete all ordering and payment. After confirming your order, the software installation disk will be mailed to you as quickly as possible. Of course, you You need to ensure that you have sufficient credit balance on your credit card..."
There was laughter from the audience, and McGregor smiled and continued: "Look, this is an ecosystem we have built. Our basic operating system, the "iDoor" for ordinary users, is free. Of course The online version and the version that supports parallel multi-CPU servers will charge some fees for professional users. Developers can sell their software through the "iStore" platform built by us, and we will charge 30% of the price of each software. It also provides a free upgrade of the "iStore" platform product catalog list service once a quarter. Customers can go to the nearest service outlets to obtain this service by disk copying-compared to spending huge financial resources to build a software self-sales network or We believe that our fee standard is very low, efficient and reasonable to complete the same work through the existing software sales agency channels. This is the way for our "iDoorsoft" company to survive. ."
After a little silence, someone understood the logic of iDoorsoft. They don’t care about the small amount of money they get from selling the "iDoor" system, but they care about getting a huge developer and user base. With all this, in this operating system Every byte running on it will continuously create profits for iDoorsoft!
What's even more amazing is that both the developer and the user of the program will think that he is the one who has taken advantage of it and gained the benefit.
This is a great operating system, but also a great business logic!
Well, of course, in Tan Zhenhua's view, this is nothing more than an IT version of "Hello everyone" created by the so-called "Internet thinking" of another time and space...
