Microsoft's new system has been released, and Microsoft has a feeling of being up and down. These months have been suppressed by Yinshan, which makes them quite depressed.
Since 1995, Microsoft has not suffered from this kind of anger. Even 95 years ago, Microsoft was already very strong, but it was not so strong.
From the beginning of 1995, which hardware vendor does not look at Microsoft's face? All hardware must be compatible with Microsoft's system, because this system is best used and has the largest sales volume. Pre-installed the Microsoft system pc, it will sell better.
The application software developed by software vendors must also be able to run on Microsoft systems. If not, the sales volume will not be too good unless it is a special type of application software.
Microsoft has been the hegemon of the decade, even if the world is accusing Microsoft, it can not shake the status of Microsoft overlord. But it was challenged by a company they never looked at.
From the smartphone operating system, to office software, to the PC operating system, every step seems to be against Microsoft.
At that time, Microsoft could not teach each other.
And now it is different, once Microsoft's new system is released, according to past practice, the opponent will soon retreat. The original competitors were so defeated by Microsoft, and this time is no exception.
Just as Bill Gates and others thought that they could harvest the fruits of victory, Steve Ballmer brought a bad news.
"Bill, Intel refused our request."
"What? Integrity and dare to reject our request!" Bill Gates felt incredible.
Can't say that Intel has always been a leader for Microsoft, but since they have become the industry leader, Intel has to look at Microsoft's face. It can be said that it is because of Microsoft's system that the computer industry has developed rapidly. Microsoft's credit is greater than all hardware manufacturers.
It can also be said that Microsoft's success has brought greater benefits to those hardware manufacturers. Even the top Intel in the hardware manufacturers, it has not always been necessary to require the CPU to cooperate with Microsoft's system.
Are they not afraid that Microsoft will add some programs to the system to optimize the CPU performance of Chaowei?
Yes, now Intel is really not afraid, because Chaowei has invested in Feng Yu’s arms. It can be said that Yinshan is already a group.
Before Intel, there was no choice. Microsoft is a big one. No matter whether it is ibm or a fruit company, it can't affect Microsoft. Microsoft's software and even its hegemony are unbreakable.
But now it is different, and Intel has a new choice. They can choose to support xos, this cheaper system, which is also in the interest of PC vendors.
The interests of PC vendors are consistent with the interests of hardware vendors, or they are complementary.
In other words, now Intel can in turn ask Microsoft to make some changes, such as lowering some of the price, otherwise it will not be in their chips, loading Microsoft's core.
"Bill, the impact of the emergence of xos is even bigger than we think, and even wants Yinshan Software Company to pay a great price, in order to promote their system. Now more than half of the hardware manufacturers and pc manufacturers have been won by them. According to this trend, all future hardware vendors will support xos, without exception. At that time, we are more passive."
The software is powerful enough to check the hardware vendors, but the hardware vendors can unite and balance the software companies. That's why Microsoft has been unable to make its own brand PCs, although they have great advantages because they can't.
Once Microsoft uses the status of their software to dominate the production of PC, the interests of other PC manufacturers will be greatly affected, Microsoft may really monopolize the industry, which is definitely not desired for those hardware manufacturers.
So if Microsoft wants to produce PCs, then all hardware manufacturers will increase the shipping price, so that Microsoft's PCs are not price competitive at all, and even the price/performance ratio is horrendous. Even if Microsoft's software is its own, it can't make up for this. gap.
Microsoft talked with Intel this time, it is no longer equipped with the xos system, specifically for Microsoft's system, thus taking the position of Intel and the cpu boss, crowding out the sales of the xOS system.
But they forgot that they are not opening their mouths at the beginning, and the other party must obey. They put forward this condition, but they don't give Intel any benefit. How can Intel agree?
What's more, even if you want Yinshan to give Intel some benefits, let Intel be more satisfied.
"Contact with all hardware manufacturers, even thinking of Yinshan is definitely giving them benefits. You said that we are also paying some price, crowding them out, signing an exclusive contract, or even thinking about the competition in Yinshan?" Bill Gates first I hesitated when making a decision.
"The exclusive contract is not very likely. Even if they want to Yinshan, they must have signed the contract first. The price we have to pay will be very large, so we can only compete positively." Ballmer hesitated.
"Let's do it, sign the contract as soon as possible, and we will use the market to speak!"
Ballmer had just left and Paul Allen came in.
"Bill, it looks like the situation is not very optimistic."
"It's not very optimistic, but we are Microsoft, our position is not so easy to challenge!" Bill Gates looked confident.
"Our new system has been released for a few days, but those software companies have not announced that they will launch products that only support our new system, even products that are compatible with our new system. This was not possible before. !"
After Microsoft introduced the new system, those software companies will announce the development of products that support Microsoft's new system, and the original products will be compatible with Microsoft's new system.
But this time, it seems that all the software companies are not snoring, it seems that they have not considered at all, support Microsoft's system.
If you don't support Microsoft's system, how can their products be sold and how can they be used by more users? Unless they think that more users will choose the xos system, or continue to use the xp system, and not many people will choose to buy this new vista system!
"Don't worry, at this time, we must be tough. Let the software companies understand that it is their loss to not support our new system. After those PC manufacturers launch computers equipped with our new system, they will regret it. Will be awkward to do compatibility patches!"
Bill Gates's self-confidence also infected Paul Allen, who thought about it and agreed with Bill Gates because they are Microsoft!
