In the United States, a copyright infringement case between two large companies generally takes several years. In the end, either one of the companies will be out of financial resources, or they will settle with each other, which means that it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time.

Adam was well prepared. Microsoft has a lot of money and has hired the industry's top copyright-related senior lawyers. Therefore, the two parties can be said to be rivals. They are both super large companies with a scale of more than [-] billion. It can even be said that both sides monopolize an industry, and naturally they have received huge attention.

Of course, in addition to economic technology and the Internet, because Adam is the largest shareholder and actual owner of Eden, it naturally attracts wider attention.In the face of good or bad news, Adam didn't feel uncomfortable. He even manipulated the media in his hand to start public opinion attacks, led by the publicity tools on the bright side, and then a large number of small and medium-sized newspapers and magazines controlled behind him fanned the flames. It is said that there is no reason to fall on the side of Eden and Adam, but when it seems to be analyzed from a neutral position, the language and words are faintly biased towards Eden, maintaining the equality on the surface.

Through investigation, Microsoft also discovered a large number of slightly over-the-top media. Through analysis, it was found that a large proportion of newspapers and magazines that have undergone significant equity changes in the past year or so are all in favor of Adam, either explicitly or implicitly. Said that Adam had prepared the propaganda war early.

It's a pity that these companies are not listed, so it is impossible to find out the people behind the scenes, and Adam has also turned a few corners. As long as a sensitive link is found, all of them will be cut off to ensure that Adam can communicate with these people. The newspaper and magazine company he manipulated had no entanglements on the surface.

Although Microsoft's guess is very accurate, but there is no evidence to be one of them, and there is no way to follow suit. Although Bill Gates' net worth even surpasses that of Adam, most of his net worth relies on Microsoft's stock, not to mention that he cannot own Paid money to buy media to play against Adam.And if Microsoft is allowed to intervene, first of all, it is basically impossible for the board of directors to pass this proposal. Even if he and other well-connected shareholders jointly force the proposal to pass, but Microsoft is a listed company, even tens of millions of capital changes have to be published. In order to form a scale, at least hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars will be spent. Regardless of how the market reacts, it is difficult for people not to suspect that Microsoft wants to manipulate public opinion when it enters the media industry with such a large amount of money. The United States, a country that claims to be democratic and free, is absolutely intolerable. You can do it secretly and secretly, but it is absolutely impossible on the surface. This is an absolute political mistake!

Therefore, even at present, Microsoft holds the copyright, and it is extremely legitimate and even natural to sue Eden for infringement. However, because the right to speak is far weaker than that of Adam, it has become a disadvantage for Microsoft in the market. condemned by the public.

The so-called wall is being pushed down by everyone. Although the American media knows it well, at most they will not blatantly stand on Adam's side, but the direction of the wind is gradually deflecting. Standing on the opposite side of sales and the public, after all, even if Microsoft is overturned after many years, firstly, the law does not blame the public, secondly, a random apology will pass, and there is nothing that cannot be solved by an apology. If there is, then it will be more Bigger, more pages, apologies if that doesn't work?Oh well, forget it, I don't remember.Anyway, there are not many people who will pursue and dig deep, and the history of this world will be written by the winner after all.

Although Microsoft's case continues to be filed, Windows 95, the highlight of Microsoft's second half of the year, must be released on time. This is their hope for a turnaround and the core of their development in the next few years.

But even with a large number of engineers, Windows95 still has a lot of bugs, especially the browser, which is simply unsightly, even worse than the original Internet version of mosaic, at least that version of mosaic will not crash the system frequently.

But whether they like it or not, the time has come to release it.Even in order to return to the decline of the NT series in the first half of the year and the reputation damaged by the copyright war with Eden in recent months, Microsoft has spent huge sums of money on publicity and advertising.

Among them, Windows95 purchased the song "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones, the top rock band in the United States and even the world, to promote 95. This alone attracted a huge number of computer customers to buy this software.

In addition, Bill also specially launched a grand press conference for 95. The release site was a 12-acre sports field located on the campus of Raymond University. More than 7 people around the world watched the conference through satellite broadcast, and invited A large number of media arrived at the venue to face this grand event. Of course, at the end of the press conference, a considerable amount of public relations fees were given to each media to prepare for the next day to focus on the Windows 95 press conference and new features.

At the press conference, Bill Gates swept away the previous decline, and showed the world this so-called cross-age operating system in high spirits, and demonstrated a variety of new functions of the 95 version, which made people's eyes shine.

If there is no trial version of the Super Eden that Adam deliberately threw out before, it can be regarded as an unparalleled success. However, compared with Adam's Super Eden, the so-called cross-generation desktop GUI of Windows 95 launched by Microsoft seems too similar and different. It's boring.

The desktop GUI produced by Adam's Super Eden is more stylish, concise and convenient, and it can be called an upgraded version of the 95 desktop GUI. Therefore, in comparison, the 95 that was released later naturally seems low and outdated.

Before everyone got it in their hands and started to use it, Windows95, which should have shocked the scene, received boos from the appearance alone. Some media even questioned whether Microsoft had copied the Garden of Eden on the desktop GUI.

Naturally, this question made Bill Gates furious, saying that Microsoft would never plagiarize, as long as people who have not lost their normal judgment ability should know that it was Eden who plagiarized Microsoft's desktop GUI, otherwise the patent of desktop GUI would not be possible. In the hands of Microsoft.

Bill Gates’ righteous words and they are indeed fighting Adam’s copyright patent lawsuit, so it has passed smoothly, but they don’t know what other people think in private, and the media reports the next day did not detail Instead of reporting on the features of Microsoft's new operating system and its so-called cross-generational desktop GUI, Bill Gates slammed Eden for plagiarism.

Of course, the media on Adam's side reported that Microsoft's killer feature was [-]% similar to Super Eden, but the object of questioning was reversed and became Microsoft.

Of course, these words are not casual, and Adam will not let the media in his hand overdraw his credit. On the same day, he published a signed article again, and the headline on the front page of the "California Times" stated that the desktop GUI in Microsoft's new operating system They plagiarized Super Eden in an all-round way and infringed a number of patents they applied for. Adam said that he would never tolerate plagiarism. He would sue Windows95 for plagiarism in reverse and apply to the court to seal up Windows95 in time and prohibit Microsoft from selling it (the trial version of Super Eden is in the When he was accused of copyright infringement before, Adam voluntarily stopped selling, of course, because he had already achieved his goal, and stopping selling would not do him any harm, instead he would take Microsoft into the army at this time).

Microsoft originally leaked the latest desktop graphical user interface in advance because of Adam's shameless use of the trial version, which made their Windows95 lose the freshness of the market and suffered heavy losses.

However, I didn't expect that Adam's viciousness was far beyond his imagination. Although they had applied for various patents for the desktop GUI as much as possible during the research and development process, Adam found loopholes and applied for multiple appearances at the same time. and functional patents, and if these patents are accepted by the court, the Windows95 infringement case will definitely be accepted by the court. In the infringement case, if Eden also makes the same request, then the court has a high probability of agreeing to Eden's application.

The trial version of Super Eden is dispensable for Adam, even if it is discontinued, but because he has done a good job in advertising and publicity, it has already been known to everyone, and he has achieved his goal without much loss.

But for Microsoft, this is absolutely unacceptable, not to mention how long the suspension of sales will last, the damage to the reputation of the entire Microsoft company alone is incalculable.

In addition, the foundation of the Garden of Eden is the browser. If the Super Eden is gone, it will be gone. Anyway, the browser continues to be used, and it still monopolizes the entire industry. It doesn't matter.However, operating software is the foundation of Microsoft. If Windows 95 cannot be released, he will not be able to come up with a second operating software that can rival Windows 95 in a short time. Microsoft is the dominant player in the industry, but there are still many challengers after all. Unlike Eden, there are only two or three kittens in the browser industry, and there is nothing that can compete with him.

Adam's action can be regarded as a blow to Microsoft's heart. With one hit, Microsoft will have to face the extremely difficult attack thrown by Adam.

How to fight back and save the situation is an extremely painful decision for Bill at this time. Although relying on the strong ability of the lawyer team, he can temporarily delay the court from making a decision immediately, but the lawyers on Adam's side are not vegetarians. Yes, naturally gaining momentum and launching a fierce attack on Microsoft, avenging the inability to fight back before.
