The Vista system was originally planned to be released in May. Due to the urging of those PC manufacturers and the fact that Microsoft could not even think about Yinshan encroaching on their market, they reduced some programs and launched the so-called home version first, and then followed their instructions. Announcement, personal and enterprise versions will be launched soon.
The home version is actually a stripped version of the personal version, with some programs removed and some features missing, allowing them to sell it at a cheaper price.
Compared with other versions such as Personal Edition, Home Edition, and Enterprise Edition, the core is the same, but the added programs are very different.
Originally, vista was a brand new concept system proposed before p was completed, and the plan was to launch it on the market in 2003. But at that time, P sales were still very good, and they had no other competitors. In addition, at that time, Microsoft discovered that Lianxiang Yinshan was trying to challenge their position in office software, and it was also doing very well in smartphone operating systems. , so they slowed down the research and development of this part and instead increased the research and development of office software and smartphone operating systems.
Regarding the design of Vista, it has also been changed again and again. If Lianxiang Yinshan hadn't launched OS, it might have been a while before this system appeared.
At the beginning, this system was not called Vista, but called Longho, which was also the most critical technology claimed by Microsoft.
During this period, Microsoft thought of several other programming models, but eventually gave up due to various reasons, which caused the development progress of Vista to be delayed again and again.
However, they couldn't blame others for this. Microsoft thought they had no rivals, so they relaxed their vigilance. Little did they know that the linu system they had been most wary of had resurrected with a competitor they had never expected.
Microsoft has always wanted to eliminate the Linux system, and has even cooperated with competitors such as IBM and Fruit Company to do so. Because this Linux has opened up the basic code and is completely free, this will seriously affect the sales of their products.
Microsoft is not afraid of the development of systems from IBM and Fruit. They are confident that they will firmly occupy a dominant position in the market with more user-friendly operations. As long as this market still makes money, Microsoft will continue to make money.
But they are afraid that if this free linu becomes bigger, it will highlight that the price of their Microsoft system is too high, causing more users to complain about it.
At the beginning, Microsoft did a good job. They united with some large software companies to suppress the linu system, poaching all the engineers who originally developed the system, so that no one could continue to upgrade the linu, making this system, It has become a plaything for some software enthusiasts. You can write it yourself and play with it.
But when Lianxiang Yinshan announced the HOS system for smartphones, Microsoft realized something was wrong. This was the Linux kernel upgrade. At that time, they thought that Lianxiang Yinshan only made an operating system for smartphones, but they never thought that they also made an operating system for p.
As soon as the p operating system appeared, it quickly gained support from many hardware manufacturers, and later received support from many software companies, especially after top companies in the IT industry such as SoftBank also announced support for the os system. Only then did Microsoft realize that the matter was serious.
Fortunately, their response was quite fast. Not long after, their Vista Home Edition was ready. Soon, other versions such as Personal Edition and Enterprise Edition would also appear. They wanted to take a look, but that company Think about Yinshan’s system, how many people are buying it!
Now those PC manufacturers that launch pre-installed OS systems will regret it when the time comes. Consumers will still choose our Microsoft system, and they will like the architecture of our new system!
Today, we at Microsoft announce to the world that the new Microsoft system that you have been waiting for is here. Abandon that OS and return to the embrace of Microsoft.
…
Bill Gates stood on the stage and personally explained and recommended this new Microsoft system. Even though Microsoft's system has recently lost a lot of market share to OS, and even the fruit company's computers are selling better than before, he believes that as long as Microsoft's new system is launched on the market, these problems will no longer exist!
"Our vista system adopts a new user design interface, a new command line interface, or human-computer interaction graphical user interface... Compared with the p system, we have added nearly a hundred new functions, and we have also built in a malware Scanning and killing tools…”
"In terms of core aspects, we have made a lot of corrections. It is difficult for ordinary viruses and Trojans to damage our system... We have improved the running speed of the system and enhanced the efficiency of the firewall... "
Bill Gates is very high-spirited at this time. This brand-new system will allow Microsoft to regain their market. Not only will they suppress Lianxiang Yinshan's OS, but they will also defeat companies that want to challenge their position in the operating system. , such as fruit companies.
There were many representatives from the IT industry sitting in the audience. They were all listening carefully, and some were even taking notes. The reporters kept thinking about what questions they should ask later.
All the cameras were pointed at him. If the flash hadn't been allowed, I'm afraid the flash would have been going on all the time.
However, there was one person who had a faint expression of disdain on his face at this time, and that was Lei Dajun, the president of Lianxiang Yinshan Software Company.
Others don't know, but he was told by Mr. Feng that the Vista system was originally developed as a transitional product. Their next generation operating system plan is called Black Card. In the previous life, the Black Card was also renamed when it was launched. , called in7.
As for this system, which was planned to be launched in 2003, due to the good performance of p, they did not plan to launch it quickly, and deliberately set the speed.
Just because Lianxiang Yinshan's os was launched, they had to prepare it in advance, thus deleting some functions they originally planned to add.
How can a system that was developed as a transitional product perform well? In other words, Microsoft itself does not think this system is very useful.
They made huge changes to the system, and if people weren't used to the changes, the system was doomed to be a failure.
Feng Yu had already learned about these situations when he was a director of Microsoft. Feng Yu deliberately chose to launch the OS system during this time period to force Microsoft to quickly launch Vista, which is not a mature product at all.
Although Bill Gates said on stage how useful this product is, Lei Dajun still found many shortcomings.
For example, it is too different from p and users will not get used to it; for example, other software vendors are not ready yet and have not launched application software compatible with their systems. Even those hardware manufacturers and p manufacturers are not ready yet. Microsoft launched this The payment system is too rushed.
Why can't os win with a product that's been produced in such a hurry
