Since it is a product conference, it is natural to show the characteristics of Windows 1.0 Windows 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 let out many shocked voices.
Li Zetian stood aside and smiled calmly. Although he did not give much advice on this operating system, even a star and a half low is enough to shock people's imaginations. Such as support for icons, overlay windows and recycle bin, support for multimedia functions and object linking 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 a jerk casually, it's very awesome!
Many people in the audience were going crazy with excitement.
In addition, Windows 1.0 has protected and enhanced modes that make more efficient use of memory!
The current memory capacity is already small, and if you run too many software or are too complicated, the computer will become very stuck, and it will make you vomit blood! ! !
"The Windows 1.0 operating system is so powerful that it will definitely be sought after by users!"
"Yes, if I were a user, I would also pay for such an operating system! It's amazing, it's perfect!"
"Hehe, if IBM doesn't use Microsoft's Windows 1.0, wouldn't it just give us the opportunity?" A big-bellied computer manufacturer grinned.
"Haha, if IBM-PC doesn't sell, we will make a profit!" Another computer manufacturer smiled knowingly.
"… "
At this time, Bill Gates raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Immediately, he said: "
Microsoft's Windows operating system Windows1.0 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.
The third package: Windows1.0+Excel+Word, the price is only 500 US dollars!
If sold separately, Windows 1.0 sells for $300, Excel sells for $200, and Word sells for $200.
Global release on Christmas day! ! !
"
"Clap clap clap!"
Everyone applauded one after another. The Windows 1.0 operating system was shocked, and it was more popular, and it would definitely be accepted by more ordinary consumers!
Li Zetian and Bill Gates looked at each other and smiled, feeling that the press conference was very successful!
Soon, it was time for reporters to ask questions.
Li Zetian left behind Bill Gates. He quietly stepped down and left the press conference site ahead of schedule, so as not to crowd around him and prevent him from leaving.
At about 9:30 in the evening, the press conference ended.
Subsequently, many companies contacted Bill Gates to seek cooperation!
…
Of course, IBM had spies at the press conference. He knew everything that happened at the press conference. Although it is also very shocking, but due to its own self-confidence, IBM does not think that Microsoft can threaten him!
An IBM director said with disdain: "Isn't Apple very good in the personal computer industry? But after IBM got involved, it easily defeated Apple and became the leader of the industry! Similarly, as long as IBM does its best Entering the operating system, Microsoft is not afraid, and will soon become the loser!"
This is just wishful thinking by IBM.
Today, unlike in the past, personal computers have flourished.
The reason why IBM was able to defeat Apple at the beginning was because it had the support of many computer manufacturers, and they also wanted to enter the personal computer industry. 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 1.0 operating system is a great shock, even people who have never been in touch with computers know how to use it! "
British "Daily Mail": "Microsoft system shock conference, Windows 1.0 will once again unify the personal operating system market!!!"
Ultraman Berkeley, a well-known American computer critic, said on CNN with great excitement: "This is the best personal computer operating system I have ever seen. IBM's cancellation of cooperation with Microsoft is absolutely the stupidest decision. !!!”
In an interview with reporters, the president of Hewlett-Packard said: "Microsoft's Windows 1.0 operating system has brought me a very deep impression. It is indeed a very good operating system. The next batch of personal computers from 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 was willing to buy Microsoft's operating system or IBM's operating system.
The man didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "Does it even need to be said? I must be willing to buy Microsoft's operating system. Anyway, I have never used IBM's operating system, and I have been using Microsoft-DOS before. .Microsoft's press conference yesterday, I also watched, 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, Excel and Word are used to...
…
The momentum of public opinion is more and more in favor of Microsoft, and many companies have silently made decisions.
IBM gradually realized that the situation was wrong, but at this moment, it must not admit its counsel. It just kicked out Microsoft a few days ago, and now it wants to reconcile with others. Where can I put my 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. It has many supporters. You can beat Microsoft by yourself.
For a time, the computer industry was surging, and countless companies began to stand in line!
Li Zetian was full of self-confidence and was certain that Microsoft could defeat IBM, but before the results came out, he was still a little nervous.
"Mr. Li, read this newspaper!" Dongfang Yuqin handed Li Zetian a newspaper!
When Li Zetian saw it, it read: "The showdown between Microsoft and IBos·Li and IBM! We all know that Zhou, the Apple company that IBos·Li founded, then, after Chronos·Li returns to Apple, he can turn things around. Stay tuned for Apple's product launch tomorrow morning!!!"
