Microsoft wants to force consumers to choose VIST. This matter has attracted too much attention, especially those netizens.
They are accustomed to surfing the Internet, so naturally they cannot do without computers, and of course they cannot do without computer operating systems.
Many people still believe in Microsoft, or they are used to Microsoft's systems. When Microsoft launches a new system, some people can't wait to buy and install it. Some people abandon the pre-installation when choosing a new computer. XOS, but chose VISTA pre-installed.
In less than a month, Microsoft reversed its decline and overtook XOS in sales of operating system discs, demonstrating the power of Microsoft.
…
"Bill, try this red wine. My friend brought it back to me from France. It tastes good." Paul Allen handed a goblet to Bill Gates with a smile on his face.
Microsoft just announced that it would stop updating the XP system, which immediately caused VISTA sales to soar and suppressed XOS.
Although in terms of total sales volume at this time, VISTA has already caught up with VISTA this month. In less than a year, maybe half a year is enough, VISTA will have the overall upper hand.
Maybe we can’t let XOS disappear, but in the future XOS can only appear on low-end netbooks. All computers with good configurations will choose their VISTA!
If you fight with Microsoft, you are doomed to fail!
Bill Gates took a sip of red wine and nodded with satisfaction at Paul Allen: "This wine is really good. Which winery is it from? My wife might also like it. [△网WwW.]"
"I still have quite a few. If you like it, I'll have someone deliver it to you tomorrow. Take out your collection of cigars. We should also smoke a victory cigar." Paul Allen laughed.
Bill Gates also found a cigar with a smile on his face, and the two sat there puffing away.
In the first stage, it seems that Microsoft has won. Then in the next few months, as long as they take advantage of the victory, expand market share, and improve reputation, it will be enough to completely suppress XOS, just like the system of the fruit company, suppressing it until they can only think about it. Computer use.
Even if some markets were eventually taken away by Lianxiang Yinshan, Microsoft is still the dominant player in the operating system and still has the final say!
After winning in the operating system, they must once again suppress Lianxiang Yinshan in office software and regain their market. The profits in this area are very high.
Ballmer knocked on the door and came in. Paul Allen was in a good mood and asked him to try the red wine, but Ballmer refused directly.
"Bill, Paul, I think you celebrated too early. Haven't you read the comments about our system on the Internet?" Ballmer looked at the two people who were celebrating and sighed. This is not a big success yet. You win, is it too early to celebrate
"Comments? I read them. Isn't it just that they are not used to it? What's the point? Of course, let users slowly adapt and get used to it. It won't take long before they will like it. Isn't that how our system was originally promoted? "?" Paul Allen said easily.
He took the initiative to invite Ballmer to drink today, but he didn't even give him face. Bah, I won't give it to you next time you want a drink!
"It was different. At that time, our system brought users surprises and simplicity. But our new system does have a lot of functions. The home version is much more powerful than even Xiangyinshan's XOS, let alone Let’s talk about our upcoming professional and enterprise versions.”
"But because we have too many new features, users will not adapt so quickly. Many users even think that our current system is not as easy to use as the previous XP, saying that we are getting worse as we go!"
"And please note that there are no comments about XOS. Users have given it positive reviews. For the time being, our sales have surpassed us. That's because we are Microsoft. Those PC manufacturers have launched new computers with our system pre-installed, and many users are willing to believe it. us."
"But what do we do if these users become frustrated with us? How do we respond?"
Bill Gates frowned and reprimanded: "Steve, you are too alarmist. How can users be disappointed with Microsoft? We have always been the best. What's more, you have no use for the VISTA system, aren't you? Do you know how innovative and epoch-making it is?"
Ballmer wanted to say that there is a big difference between a piece of software in the eyes of programmers and in the eyes of consumers. We think it is easy to use because we know IT very well and are the best among the best in terms of software.
But what about ordinary users? They may be construction workers, teachers, students, or even farmers. Do they understand that? What they want is simplicity!
At the beginning, Microsoft's system focused on simplicity, but now, it has completely changed.
Innovation, innovation, innovation.
Yes, innovation may take us one step further, but it may also fail and cause us to lose the country we have won!
According to Ballmer's vision, Microsoft should develop in a disciplined manner, which is enough for them to maintain their leading position. Even if the innovation is successful, how much market share can it increase? And once it fails, the losses will be huge.
He believes that there is no need for Microsoft to make such a bet, but should focus on developing more compact systems. Since the Internet function is so popular, the Tab touch-controlled rotating screen laptop that Microsoft originally promoted should be relaunched.
Although their product failed due to extremely poor cost performance due to the alliance of hardware manufacturers, the design concept is very advanced.
This tablet was originally proposed by Bill Gates, and it was also Bill Gates' dream. But just in time for the promotion, Feng Yu withdrew his shares, causing Microsoft's stock price to fall. Then came the birth of the dot-com bubble, which caused Microsoft's market value to evaporate crazily.
In order to promote the Tab tablet, Microsoft spent a lot of money, but it turned out to be a failure and lost money.
Ballmer felt that the reason why this tablet failed was not because of problems with the design or because it was not easy to use, but because the price was too high and the price/performance ratio was too poor.
Of course, these are the reasons why hardware manufacturers have united. They do not want Microsoft to enter the PC market, not even this tablet.
However, this solution can be fully cooperated with IBM or Intel. As long as we give a little profit, we can reduce the price of this product, and with our product, we can compete with those netbooks in the market.
The premise is to re-announce that the XP system will continue to be updated for many years so that someone can buy it. Now Microsoft's VISTA system, the Tab tablet may not be able to operate. If production can drive it, then the selling price will increase, and it will still fall into the dilemma of being high-key and low-key.
It's a pity that although Ballmer is the company's third largest shareholder and the company's president and CEO, and seems to have unlimited trust from Bill Gates, the real situation is only known to Ballmer himself, who is like a puppet.
Ballmer suddenly felt tired. He was a little tired of his life at Microsoft.
