God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 293 New Operating Systems

"For installation, it is best to use this CD. If you really don't have one, you can also use the attached floppy disk to install, but the time will be much slower."

Seeing him staring at the carton in a daze, the marketing manager quietly explained beside him.

Bill put the carton aside, and the turmoil caused by the sudden bad news at the beginning has gradually subsided. He said calmly, "Tell me about the situation of this network technology company in detail."

The manager of the marketing department sorted out his clues and said, "This New York network technology company has only been heard of in our ears in the last day or two."

"Just the day before yesterday, our customer service department began to receive calls from users one after another. They asked us whether there was an operating system called "Origin" launched by our Microsoft. When we answered no, they all complained. Dao, our operating system is not as easy to use as Origin."

"At first we didn't care about it, but as more and more people called, we had to pay attention, and all the people in the marketing department dispersed to find this operating system called "Origin"."

Having said that, he paused.

At this time, Bill was already sitting on the edge of the desk, embracing his hands, nodding for him to continue talking.

The manager of the marketing department thought for a while, and said bravely: "After we went out, we found that many places were talking about this software, and they all gave this software a very high evaluation."

"However, Claire is the one who understands this matter the most. Why don't you let him explain it to you in detail."

He pushed a short and thin young man in front of Bill.

He hid himself in a corner secretly.

Bill looked at him disappointedly, no matter how good this software is, it is impossible to have no flaws at all!

And as a marketing manager, he has lost all fighting spirit!

How does this work!
Dominate the market?

He sighed in his heart and looked at the nervous young man in front of him.

This is the marketing department. For the hot sales of the software, an additional employee has been recruited. You can tell it from the white job card buttoned on his clothes.

"Your name is Claire? Tell me everything you know, in as much detail as possible." He said to the embarrassed young man in front of him with a gentle expression.

It's just that the tone mixed in it cannot be denied.

"Yes, Mr. Bill."

Claire swallowed, and began to speak slowly: "Yesterday, according to the manager's order, I went out to investigate the opponent's situation."

"NO! NO!"

Bill directly interrupted what he was about to say.

"It can't be said to be an opponent yet! I don't believe that the operating system they produced in a hurry will be better than the Windows software that we have spent three years designing carefully!"

Claire looked at him with a strange look, and there seemed to be a sympathetic smile in her eyes, which made Bill angry and worried.

"Boss, can I continue?" Claire eased a lot of tension and asked politely.

The anxiety in Bill's heart became stronger and stronger, and he said seriously: "Go on!"

Claire nodded, and said, "After much deliberation, since the other party chooses to sell this software, they will definitely go to those computer sellers."

"As a result, I went to the largest computer sales store in New York, and I found a simple booth set up in a corner of the store, where a young man was enthusiastically demonstrating a piece of software that I had never seen before to customers. His confident speech attracted many people around him."

While talking slowly, Claire recalled what she saw yesterday.

The computer store he went to was the largest in New York, covering an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters, with six partitions displaying computers of various brands.

On the side of the entrance, there is a red booth.

At least [-] or [-] people gathered around the booth, listening intently to the narrator in the middle, giving a detailed demonstration of the software.

Claire suddenly heard someone say windows XP, Origin and other words in front of her, and her heart moved, and she tried her best to push through the crowd of onlookers and came to the innermost part of the booth.

Inside, there is a computer monitor. On the [-]-inch screen, an operating system is displayed after it is turned on.

He just took one look and was completely stunned!

As a salesperson, he is already very familiar with the company's products.

Luna (Luna) user graphical interface, the window logo has also been changed to a clearer and brighter four-color window logo.

In addition, Windows XP also introduced a "select task" user interface, which allows the toolbar to access the specific details of the task.

Generally speaking, this display mode is relatively dull.

But for the command line input under DOS in the past, it is a great breakthrough.

However, for this operating system with a "∞" logo in the corner, the Windows XP system is like an old wall, rough and rough!

On the interface of this operating system, there is a horizontal bar at the bottom, and a round button that says "Start". Next to the start button, there are several small icons.

According to the narrator, this is a shortcut icon, and you can start it with a single click of the mouse.

And on this horizontal bar, each program that is being executed has a reduced window thumbnail, which is convenient for users to switch back and forth between different programs.

Most of the screen is a soft light blue background, and at the bottom of the left side are reduced icons one by one.

With such a layout, the line of sight looks very natural, comfortable and simple.

Compared with the interface of Windows XP, it is simply a difference!

When the narrator began to demonstrate the functions of this operating system in detail, Claire's heart was already cold!
Compared with XP, which has a dozen or so programs and some programs used to make up numbers, this operating system called "Origin" (Origin) is basically a master of programs!
If Windows XP is compared to a bungalow, then the Origin operating system is a luxuriously decorated and amazing high-rise!
Control panel, accessories, communication tools, browsers, games, all kinds of programs add up to [-] or [-], and some commonly used tools, such as calculators, printing devices, etc., are not placed on the desktop , but are unified and concentrated in one accessory folder.

This seems to imply that they have been classified as less important fringe programs.

Wordpad programs, drawing tools, word processing software, notepad, etc. are all included, and the functions are extremely comprehensive!
Among the onlookers, there were questions from professionals with technical knowledge. The commentator even clicked on a hidden administrator option with the mouse.

There are hundreds of specific management and debugging programs in it, which makes Claire feel like falling into an ice cave!

"wait!"

The more Bill listened, the more he felt something was wrong. How could this Claire explain the situation? He was clearly singing praises to his opponent in front of so many people in the company!
He was so angry that he couldn't believe what Claire said, but what he was sure of was that the opponent's operating system and programs were fully integrated, no doubt!

But in this way, it involves a performance issue!
He quickly asked: "When the other party is demonstrating this operating system, how is the running speed? Is the performance as good as our XP system?"

In his view, integrating so many software will inevitably slow down the computer's operating speed.

No matter how good the program is, it needs enough hardware to support it.

Now the mainstream computer is Intel's Pentium 4, but it has not completely occupied the market, and many backward areas still use 586, or even 486.

And the operating systems they install are all based on the old version of DOS.

As long as a slightly larger program cannot break through the 640KB basic memory limit limited by DOS, it has seriously affected the development of the software industry.

Perhaps, their program is perfect, but only our XP system can truly dig out DOS, allowing the system to support 3.2G of physical memory!
Bill's heart beat fast.

"Their programs run very smoothly!"

Claire's words shattered his remaining self-confidence, and made Bill feel his brain being bombarded by five thunders instantly!
