Chapter 1437: Microsoft lost (subscription)

When Lao Zhang was angry, Feng Yu was calling Wilson and asked about the lawsuit of Microsoft. When can he get it.
At this time, it will give Microsoft some blows, and it will also make it even less troublesome for Yinshan.
Microsoft suddenly lowered the price of the xp system some time ago. I thought it could affect the sales of the xos system. As a result, even if I wanted Yinshan to make an announcement, it would ruin Microsoft's little trick.
Even wanting Yinshan to declare that the xos system will guarantee at least five years of system maintenance and maintenance.
And what does this mean? For everyone, everyone can understand it at a glance.
Think about Microsoft, two or three generations of systems, when 2000 appeared, 95 stopped updating and maintenance, when xp appeared, 2000 stopped updating and maintenance.
This Microsoft is not claiming to launch vista right away. Doesn't it mean that the XP system will stop updating and maintaining it?
That is to say, although they spent a small amount of money to buy a genuine xp system, but it will not take a year, the loopholes will not be repaired, then how to ensure system security? How to solve various problems?
The result is that Microsoft's xp system has cut prices, and the price cuts are very large, but unfortunately not many people buy. Because Microsoft's official no one stood up and said, how long the xp system will continue to maintain, it seems that the default vista appears, the xp system will stop updating.
Who will buy a system that can only be used for a few months? That vista is not to say that there is a big difference with xp. Therefore, the price reduction of xp not only did not increase sales, but sold even worse.
In addition, even the Group does not pre-install Microsoft's system, and many manufacturers have signed an agreement with Yinshan. A cheaper system can lower the price of their products and increase their competitiveness. Of course, they will not Rejection.
Not to mention even Yinshan has paid a price for this, such as the price of the system, but also to the part of the PC manufacturers, so now many manufacturers have pre-installed xos system computer.
Bill Gates was furious on the board of directors and reprimanded the people responsible for product sales and development. Ordering new products must speed up the process, face the market as soon as possible, and at the same time contact those PC manufacturers, let them limit the sales of models pre-installed xos system, Microsoft's vista system will certainly give them even more surprises.
In fact, those manufacturers have long been fed up with Microsoft's hegemony, and can't wait for a system vendor to stand up and fight against Microsoft. How much do they earn from a PC? How much does Microsoft make on a system?
According to the profit rate, selling a computer, Microsoft is the most profitable, which makes PC manufacturers feel balanced?
What's more, even if you want the conditions given by Yinshan to increase their profits, how can they not support it? In business, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, not to mention that they are not friends with Microsoft!
In particular, everyone knows that after the xp system will soon be updated and maintained, the PC sales of the pre-installed xp system will be worse, and those PC manufacturers are quite vocal.
They are now in turn asking Microsoft to announce that it will be in their interest to continue to maintain xp for at least three years. Unfortunately, Microsoft did not agree.
But compared to the poor system sales, Microsoft is more concerned about what they are accused of monopolizing around the world. They don't want to lose the power of this bundled sales model, which will make their software lose the biggest means of competition.
Of course, it would be better if you could not be fined. Nowadays, many countries do not feel that there is anything wrong with this kind of bundling. Most of them are bundled, not all free software.
Especially after even thinking about the sales of office software in Yinshan, they can't lose this advantage. Otherwise, they can only lower the selling price and lower their profits.
They never thought about it, even China will accuse them of Microsoft's monopoly, and they also heard that after the anti-monopoly law of China passed, the first one was accused of being Microsoft, which is clearly deliberate!
The first two sessions, their lawyers tried to distinguish, but the effect was minimal.
Huaxia's legal system is essentially different from the Anglo-American legal system. China's side is legally stipulated. According to the judgments stipulated by law, the various provisions are very detailed and the judgment of the presiding judge is the main one.
The European and American sides are relatively rough, and the judgments are mostly in accordance with past practice, with jurors voting. And their media public can influence the judgment.
In the Chinese legal system, although the media public has influence, it affects the weight of sentencing at most, instead of affecting whether it is guilty or not.
Therefore, Microsoft is now on the verge of being criticized and will be punished. As for the amount of fines, because the amount is too high, China's anti-monopoly law draft only provides a downline, that is, five million rmb.
What they are fighting now is the amount of fines. From the current situation, Microsoft is very disadvantageous.
Huaxia’s attorney, Wilson, who has been serving Feng Yu, also used the blank of the law to make a ruling according to the amount of the Anglo-American side, so he proposed a high amount of fine.
What makes Microsoft angry is that Huaxia is obviously a partial helper. Most people think that this fine is reasonable. And Wilson has made a move outside the court, saying that Microsoft treats the market differently, which makes Bill Gates even want to smash the street!
We treat differently? Our previous sales in China are the lowest in the world! This kind of difference, why don't you say it? Now that our price has risen, shouldn't this be? Your Chinese gdp is already the best in the world.
We don’t want to treat the market differently now, it has caused such a situation, we are not stunned!
Today, it is already the third time that the two sides have opened the court, and the two sides have once again launched a slap in the face.
Wilson is aggressive, and the language keeps setting traps, so that Microsoft's representative lawyers are tired of coping.
Representatives of Microsoft, their faces are getting more and more ugly. They found that things have really developed in the worst direction. They have become the typical example of Huaxia political axe, killing chickens and monkeys, they are the chicken!
Although the representative lawyer of Microsoft kept defending, it still did not help. The court ruled that Microsoft was convicted of monopoly and was sentenced to a fine of more than 1.836 billion yuan, and must disclose the source code of some products. This figure has created a new record of fines for China’s political axe, and it has not been broken in the years!
When I came out of the court, a group of Chinese and foreign journalists gathered around, and the strong performance of Huaxia’s side made many people unthink. Directly rejecting the out-of-court settlement, the final judgment was made three times. Ordered Microsoft to pay a fine within a limited time, otherwise it will seize Microsoft's company account in China!
On the issue of monopoly, Microsoft, once again lost!
