Chapter 942: The enemy needs to be lenient

As the saying goes, "from frugality to luxury is easy, and from luxury to frugality is difficult", it may be reluctant to accept it without a touch screen, but it does not even have a graphical interface operating system and a mouse-such a computer, you will be reborn from the 21st century How can the second master of Tan Er stand?
I can't bear it. Of course, I have to find a solution. Therefore, Jim Clark was forced to find similar equipment, technology and solutions everywhere.
As mentioned earlier, at that time, SGI was not only a hardware manufacturer of graphics workstations, it also maintained a large system research and development team, and was developing applications for its own computers based on the free Unix operating system branch BSDUnix launched by the University of Berkeley. "IRIX" operating system.
Dr. Jim quickly found everything he wanted. Well, obviously, he climbed the back hill of Stanford University... But when he saw everything that surprised him in the Palo Alto Lab, he also At the same time, I learned a cruel fact-in the laboratory, all the R&D personnel who had participated in this project have left, and none of them remained. Most of them were brought to Apple by Mr. Jobs. The remaining single seedling, our Mr. S. McGregor, was also abducted by Mr. Gates to Seattle.
People are gone, but the technology is still there. Of course, the prototypes and source codes of these devices belong to Palo Alto Laboratories. Therefore, Tan Zhenhua, who heard about this, bought all the relevant technologies without saying anything. , And it was a buyout, and Palo Alto Lab finally signed the contract after hesitating again and again-they couldn’t help it, because there was no researcher familiar with this system anymore. Apple and Microsoft, which let these technologies rot in the laboratory or were "plagiarized" by these technologies, have shamelessly applied them to their products and claimed to be their own innovative inventions. It is better to change the points as soon as possible and give them to these two. The guy who came to "visit" with a and a shovel added some blockage by the way.
After that, the "Matrix" laboratory was established. SGI's original operating system research and development team merged with the "Matrix" Laboratory Computer Algorithm Research Institute. McGregor led the team to complete the first on the basis of "IRIX". A version of the "iDoor" system.
By the way, Xiao Tan Tan also played a major role in it. He personally designed the appearance of the "Indigo II" and the mouse that is standard on the "iDesk". Its stunning shape and comfortable mastery make all People who have used it are full of praise-well, let's not pursue which brand of classic he copied...
As the first CEO of "iDoorsoft" and vice-president of the Computer Algorithm Research Institute of "Matrix Lab", McGregor did not hear for the first time until today that behind the "iDoor" system he led the team to complete, he actually returned There are so many stories, and after carefully recalling the ins and outs of the whole thing and the cause and effect, he has to admit that the actual helm of the laboratory, who is younger than him, does have an extraordinary long-term vision.
At the very least, now he can listen to all that Jessica's lawyer will say next.
"So I am puzzled whether Microsoft has investigated the copyright of all its technologies and source code before filing a lawsuit." Jessica concluded: "According to our investigation, even if Palo Alto Labs is excluded , Microsoft is not the original creator of the graphical user interface. Before the "Windows" system appeared, Apple also recently launched an operating system using similar technology. In October 1983, VisiCorp not only launched The VisiOn system with a typical GUI interface has even sold more than 30,000 sets on the market."
"So we don't have to worry about Microsoft's prosecution, right?" McGregor summed up with joy after hearing everything.
"If it's just the case itself, there is really nothing to worry about. The evidence in our hands is very sufficient." Jessica replied.
"In fact, the Intel case is the same. We are all certain that we will win." Yu Pengxia also said.
Hearing the words of both lawyers, and reminiscing about the series of evidence and the logic of reasoning they had shown before, McGregor and Yu Youcheng basically let go of their concerns, and the expressions on their faces changed from the nervousness they had when they first entered the door. Anxiously, they returned to normal, but when they turned their admiring eyes on Tan Zhenhua, who had anticipated today's unexpected situation and made a series of preparations for this, they found his brows furrowed.
"Pengxia, Jessica, let me ask you a question. If you are Intel or Microsoft, would you spend a lot of money in a lawsuit that you know you will lose?"
Yu Youcheng on the side interjected first: "Eric, maybe they don't know that we have so much evidence against them..."
Tan Zhenhua shook his head and said: "Tony, have you forgotten that "the enemy needs to be lenient"? And I don't think Intel and Microsoft will make such low-level mistakes."
Jessica and Yu Pengxia looked at each other and smiled, and then they spoke: "Eric, I knew you would see this. So, I just defined a "If it's just the case itself Say "this premise."
"Oh?"
"Before today, before Bolton and I did not know that Intel and Microsoft would actually take the lawsuits we speculated, we discussed the methods they might use. After analysis, we listed The most likely countermeasures they will take."
While talking, she flipped through the materials in her hand. After turning to one of the pages, she paused, pulled out the page, and handed it to Tan Zhenhua.
"Do you think they will try to drag these two cases down indefinitely?" Tan Zhenhua asked with a frown after reading the content on this page.
"Yes, frankly, if I were the other party's lawyer, then I have at least three ways to drag these two cases for more than three years."
"But what good will it do for them?" McGregor asked puzzledly.
"The benefits are very obvious." Tan Zhenhua replied first: "For example, as long as the two cases fail to be formally pronounced one day, our products will not be properly named. When customers choose our products, they will be full of doubts. , It’s not sure if it’s buying a legal product. This has little impact on individual users, but it will have a very significant adverse impact on the purchasing decisions of large businesses, such as enterprises, educational institutions, and government agencies. For products, especially SGI graphics workstations, the orders of these group purchasing units have a more significant impact."
"This customer's doubts will soon be transmitted to the supply chain end, and will have a very negative impact on the "Midoor" industry alliance we are trying to organize, and may even block the process of personal computer compatible manufacturers joining this alliance. "Yu Youcheng added anxiously.
Promoting more companies to join the "Midoor" industry alliance is the focus of Yu Youcheng's recent work, so Tan Zhenhua said a little bit, and he immediately thought of this aspect.
"So, blocking the development of the "Midoor" industry alliance is their ultimate goal." Tan Zhenhua concluded.
