Chapter 223 The Trend of Public Opinion (Second Update)

Since it is a product launch event, it is natural to show the features of the Windows 1.0 window operating system.Li Zetian called Bill Gates to the stage and asked him to introduce and demonstrate the features of the Windows 1.0 operating system.

During the demonstration, the audience couldn't help but uttered shocking sounds many times.

Li Zetian stood aside, showing a calm smile. Although he didn't give too many suggestions for this operating system, even a little bit is enough to shock people's imagination.For example, support icons, overlapping windows and recycle bins, support multimedia functions and object connection and embedding functions.

These are the most common things in the future, but they are epoch-making designs in this era.

Li Zetian pretends to be aggressive casually, he is very awesome!

Many people in the audience were going crazy with excitement.

In addition, Windows 1.0 has protection and enhanced modes, which can use memory more effectively!

The current memory capacity is inherently small, and if there are too many softwares running, or too complicated, the computer will become very stuck, and it will be so stuck that it will make you vomit blood! ! !
"The Windows 1.0 operating system is too powerful, and it will definitely be popular among users!"

"That's right, if I were a user, I'd be willing to spend money to buy such an operating system! It's just awesome, it's perfect!"

"Hehe, if IBM doesn't use Microsoft's Windows 1.0, wouldn't it just give us the opportunity?" A portly computer manufacturer grinned.

"Hehe, if the IBM-PC can't be sold, we will make money!" Another computer manufacturer also smiled knowingly.

"..."

At this time, Bill Gates raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Immediately, he said: "

Microsoft's Windows operating system Windows 1.0 will be bound with Excel and Word to form three packages.

The first package: Windows1.0+Excel, priced at $400.

The second package: Windows1.0+Word, priced at 400 US dollars.

The third package: Windows1.0+Excel+Word, the price is only 500 US dollars!

If sold separately, Windows 1.0 costs $300, Excel costs $200, and Word costs $200.

Global release on Christmas Day! ! !
"

"Clap clap clap!"

Everyone applauded, the Windows 1.0 operating system is shocking and more popular, and it will definitely be accepted by more ordinary consumers!
Li Zetian and Bill Gates smiled at each other and felt that the press conference was very successful!
Soon, it was time for reporters to ask questions.

Li Zetian left Bill Gates behind. He stepped down quietly and left the conference site early to prevent crowds from surrounding him and not letting him go.

At around 9:[-] in the evening, the press conference ended.

Subsequently, many companies contacted Bill Gates to seek cooperation!

……

Of course, IBM planted a spy at the press conference, and he knew everything that happened at the press conference immediately.Although it is also very shocking, but due to its own self-confidence, IBM does not think that Microsoft can pose a threat to him!

A director of IBM said disdainfully: "Isn't Apple very powerful in the personal computer industry? But after IBM got involved, it easily defeated Apple and became the leader in this industry! Similarly, as long as IBM goes all out Entering the operating system, Microsoft is not afraid, and will soon become the defeat of its opponents!"

This is just IBM's wishful thinking.

Today, unlike in the past, the personal computer has flourished.

The reason why IBM was able to defeat Apple in the first place was because it had the support of many computer manufacturers. They also wanted to enter the personal computer industry, which was bullying the few with more.The current situation is different. Microsoft's operating system can bring more benefits to everyone. If IBM wants to challenge Microsoft, it is equivalent to being outnumbered. No matter how powerful IBM is, can it compete with so many companies?

Obviously not!

The next day, the media covered Microsoft's press conference.

The wind of public opinion turned quickly. The editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times said: "Microsoft's Windows operating system Windows 1.0 has given people a great shock, even people who have never touched a computer know how to use it! "

The British "Daily Mail": "Microsoft system shocked the press conference, Windows 1.0 will once again dominate the personal operating system market!!!"

Altman Berkeley, a well-known American computer critic, said excitedly on CNN: "This is the best personal computer operating system I have ever seen. It is absolutely the stupidest decision for IBM to cancel the cooperation with Microsoft." !!!”

The president of Hewlett-Packard said in an interview with reporters: "Microsoft's Windows operating system Windows 1.0 has brought me a very deep impression. It is indeed a very good operating system. The next batch of personal computers of Hewlett-Packard will definitely The OS will be installed!"

The reporter then interviewed an ordinary computer user on the road and asked him whether he would like to buy Microsoft's operating system or IBM's operating system.

The man didn't even think about it, so he replied directly: "Does this need to be said? I must be willing to buy Microsoft's operating system. Anyway, I have never used IBM's operating system. I have been using Microsoft-DOS before." .I also watched Microsoft’s press conference yesterday, Windows 1.0 is so cool!!!”

The reporter finally counted the number of people interviewed, and more than 80% of them support Microsoft's Windows 1.0. Most of them think that Microsoft's operating system and Excel and Word are used...

……

The momentum of public opinion is increasingly biased towards Microsoft, and many companies have made silent decisions.

IBM has gradually realized that the situation is wrong, but it must not admit it at this moment. It just kicked off Microsoft a few days ago, and now it wants to reconcile with others. Where can I save face?

This is only one aspect. On the other hand, IBM is IBM after all. It has been the industry leader for decades. It is strong and confident, and has many supporters. You can beat Microsoft by yourself.

All of a sudden, the computer industry was in turmoil, and countless companies began to stand in line!
Li Zetian was full of self-confidence and was sure that Microsoft could beat IBM, but before the result came out, he was still a little nervous.

"Mr. Li, read this newspaper!" Dongfang Yuqin handed Li Zetian a newspaper at this time!
Li Zetian saw it, and it read: "The competition between Microsoft and IBM is actually a duel between the legendary Chronos Li and IBM! As we all know, IBM once defeated Apple, which was founded by Chronos Li. Then, Whether Chronos Li can turn things around after returning to Apple, please look forward to Apple’s product launch tomorrow morning!!!”

　Undo your belt and slowly take off your clothes
　　Ah!
　　Looking at your white skin, smelling your faint body fragrance
　　I couldn't help it, and finally took a bite out of you.

　　I'm eating zongzi, I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival~~
