"Microsoft is about to encounter the biggest Waterloo since its establishment? "Bill Gates threw the "New York Times" on the table angrily. This man named George Johnny was a Wall Street executive. He once held an important position in a well-known hedge fund. Status, his signed article naturally has great influence, and it is conceivable that Microsoft's stock will decline today and even this week.

Although Bill is full of confidence in the development of Microsoft, it has to be said that the development of Windows 95 is not smooth, because to be backward compatible, the new operating system must be able to continue to use dos applications, and the new system is in order to innovate and various cutting-edge technology, only 16/32-bit hybrid cores can be used.

Taking into account the previous system is for inheritance, while using the latest system is for new functions and applications, it is for development, and neither of the two can be discarded.

If the old system is abandoned, millions of users of the old system cannot be smoothly transferred to the new system, and the most important thing is that the new system is a new system after all, and many functions are not as rich as the old system. Users of system applications must also be given a chance to adapt.

And the latest kernel is even more impossible to give up and sacrifice, otherwise it is meaningless not to mention the development of Windows95 this time, and if you can’t come up with an amazing operating system, how to deal with the market with high expectations and loyal users, not to mention It's not like he doesn't have competitors following him. If he takes a slow step, he may be caught up and eliminated. The competition in the commercial market is sometimes more cruel than the grassland. If he is not careful, he may be reduced to food.

In addition, these are technical problems. Although they are very troublesome, they can still be solved. The bigger problem is the internal competition—such as the Windows-NT R&D team. The industry’s technical master David Carter, who was finally dug out with great effort, Windows NT was originally a product of Microsoft and IBM’s cooperation, but because of differences in some expansions, the cooperation between the two companies broke down in the end, and Microsoft could only bite the bullet. Research and development, the first generation of Windows-NT is based on the product of cooperation with IBM, so it is directly named Windows-NT3.0. Graphical user interface, to show that they have a very similar visual effect on the user interface, and he is more stable and secure than the previous cooperation with IBM.

In fact, compared to the successor product of Windows95, Windows-NT is a brand new system that has nothing to do with the previous dos operating system. It was placed high hopes by Bill Gates and considered to be the future of Microsoft (of course, many years later, it is indeed proved to be so) .

And Windows-NT3.51 is a new version that will be released after Windows3.5 released last year. It has not changed much from the revision of the previous version. Windows 95, which is compatible with the old system program and has been slightly compromised, is considered to be the most perfect next-generation operating system. It is a new-generation operating system that Bill Gates truly recognizes in his heart, but Windows 32 is regarded by him as the successor to the old version of the operating system such as dos. transitional goods.

But what is embarrassing is that Silverberg, who received Windows 95, led more than 800 engineers to develop a truly innovative work-with a brand-new user graphical interface, which is sturdy and beautiful but also extremely practical. It directly lowers the threshold for users to use. It is not compared with dos, a system that is destined to be eliminated. Even Windows-NT, the graphical interface used by the work team that Bill placed high hopes on, is much better.

This has formed an extremely embarrassing phenomenon. Products with the most advanced kernel and technology use a user interface that is several generations behind. A product that is not expected to transition has developed the most advanced user interface. Interface, so the person in charge of Windows-NT3.51 hopes to transplant this newly developed user graphical interface to Windows-NT3.51 for his own face and a more perfect product.

How can this be tolerated by Silverberg, the person in charge of Windows95? I picked the peaches from myself.

But the person in charge of Windows-NT also has an extremely aboveboard reason. They are responsible for Microsoft's next-generation research and development tasks. Shouldn't they concentrate all advanced technologies on him?

Therefore, the two parties are naturally saying that the public is right and the woman is right, and no one can convince the other according to their own opinions. Therefore, the trouble came to Bill Gates, because the release time of Windows-NT is close at hand. At this time, it is temporarily transplanted. A brand-new interface is not a good thing for the NT operating system, and it can be put into the next version without rushing for a while.In addition, Windows95 will be released this fall, and the time is extremely tight. There is no manpower or spare time to do transplantation, so Windows95 has won an unprecedented victory, overwhelming Windows-NT, which has always been favored. The project team felt elated.

However, they were too happy too early, because Eden's menacing impact made Microsoft lose ground in the capital stock market, so Bill couldn't continue to endure. The Windows95 project team, which celebrated the victory in peace, let the browser research and development team that was isolated in the corner join in the research and development of Windows95, and strived to integrate mosaic2.0 into Windows95. You must know that mosaic2.0 at this time is almost In a blank state, and the release of Windows95 is only a few months away, how can this catch up?

This is not the only trouble. Bill Gates found that the mailbox embedded in the browser developed by Adam in the Garden of Eden is very good, which can greatly facilitate the exchange of information between users. The most important thing is that the current situation can be seen , Internet software companies represented by Adam's Nirvana and Eden have almost dominated the entire Internet. The market value of several companies under him has reached more than 5% of the entire Internet company (excluding operating systems). The idea of ​​using html[-] technology combined with open source operating software to replace the operating system is extremely bold, and it is not empty talk. It has entered the research and development stage. It can be said that Eden is not satisfied with the operating system after occupying the land of the Internet. Go on the offensive.

And the sad thing is, due to the blind arrogance of the people inside the company, they have been breeding tigers in just one or two years. Self-defense, which is why he took a fancy to the mailbox as an entry point to enter the Internet in reverse, hoping to cut a piece of meat off Adam's body.

This project, which he named Microsoft Servietwork—MSN for short, is a client-to-client information transmission software, which strives to be concise and convenient. It is a weapon for Microsoft to counterattack the Garden of Eden. Let Eden see that Microsoft is not a soft and promising small company, and don't force him to fight with all his might.

It's just that the idea is very good, but it will kill people if it is implemented. The time before the product release is short, and then a large number of bugs have not been fixed for compatibility, and then a browser is thrown to integrate it into the operating system. In this case, that’s all. If it doesn’t work anyway, use the old version directly. If you lag behind, it’s better to make up for it through version updates in the future. After all, it’s not the point.

But this MSN, which was forcibly apportioned by Bill Gates, is almost dead. MSN belongs to the network department, and it has nothing to do with the operating system. After seeing it, Erff was so angry that he almost wanted to take a gun and kill all the technical departments of MSN one by one. This group of idiots who have achieved more than nothing, actually developed a special network protocol by themselves, which is compatible with the most commonly used TCP on the Internet. /IP is completely incompatible, and the MSN R&D team does not know that Windows 95 adopts a brand-new graphical user interface. The programs they write cannot run on Windows 95 at all, and it will take a lot of time to solve it, and the time is not enough for Windows 95, which is about to go on the market. The team is the most valuable.

In addition, although Windows95 was released in early September, Windows95 is not a software that can be downloaded from the Internet. It needs to be printed on a CD, and then distributed nationwide. Therefore, the entire Windows95 research and development team entered into a death race without day and night after one damn order after another. There was even a horrible phenomenon that a few employees were sent to the hospital because they stayed up late for a long time and couldn't bear it. Silver also had to I applied for a doctor to be resident in the company just in case.

When Silver was sleepless day and night because of too much pressure on his body, his old opponent David Carter was not much better. Although Windows-NT3.51 was released, it was widely praised in the industry and the system was stable. , safe, and highly portable, and in the process of localization, it is not only convenient for users from all over the world to use, but also adds corresponding functions. It can be said that compared with the previous version 3.50, industry personnel around the world have received wide acclaim and support.

However, the operating system still has to face users after all. First of all, because of the use of a 32-bit kernel, the price is very unfriendly. In addition, the NT operating system does not support WinG and DirectX, and cannot play games, etc. It seems that the experience effect is bad, so it is undoubtedly cold in the market.

However, when the NT series operating systems were cold, the natural pressure shifted to another operating system 95 released in the same year, and even began to become Microsoft's life-saving straw, so countless eyes paid more attention to the research and development of the 95 system. It is getting higher and higher, and all kinds of rumors and predictions are pouring in, stirring up the market into a mess.

The author has something to say: I have checked a lot of information and revised it several times, but I still feel that there are many bugs in the writing. Please forgive me as a layman. I will probably avoid it as much as possible in the future. It is really asking for trouble, pit!
