Chapter 1365 Opportunity

WIN2.0 has different meanings and functions in the eyes of different people.

Businessmen just see that after WIN2.0 comes out, it will become easier to operate computers, so more computers will be sold, and they will make a lot of money.

When ordinary people see WIN2.0, they will only feel that the distance between themselves and computers has become very close. In the future, they can better use computers to learn various new knowledge and will not fall behind the times.

But in the eyes of programmers, the significance of WIN2.0 far exceeds other uses.

The reason is very simple, because when Microsoft released WIN2.0, it specifically stated that Microsoft's Windows operating system will open source code to all software studios and freelance software developers so that they can use it. WIN2.0 system develops the software you want to develop, and allows people to use it smoothly in WIN2.0 system.

Such an announcement should cheer up all those engaged in software development!

In today's computer market, Apple computers are unique. Compared with IBM's standard PC computers, they are much more advanced and dazzling, and their functions are much better. ——Bangzhu Qiao has known from the beginning how to use beautiful products to stand out.

But Apple has a rule that programmers hate the most.

That is, they only support their own Apple operating system, and this operating system is closed and exclusive.

All software vendors who want to make their programs available to people using Apple computers must join Apple's system and let Apple participate in supervision.

More importantly, Apple must take a share of these programs. No matter how much you sell, there is a certain percentage.

And not all programs can pass Apple's review.

It seems that Apple prefers to develop various software itself rather than using other excellent software vendors.

Microsoft's WIN2.0 is still far behind Apple in terms of operating system in the eyes of programmers and software designers.

Various programs and functions appear to be imperfect.

At best, the page is just for ordinary people and friendly. It is of little use to software engineers, because they are experts who are proficient in computers. There is not much difference between using code and using icons.

But the problem of the crude operating system has nothing to do with it!

Didn't Microsoft disclose the source code of the design program?

As long as we add various programs and let Microsoft's WIN2.0 system have more applications, won't it become more and more abundant and eventually surpass Apple?

So in those days, countless software companies and programmers flocked to the expo and Microsoft, hoping to get more detailed information and join the Microsoft WIN2.0 system family as soon as possible.

Attention.

In the software industry, there has always been a sharp opposition between two forces.

One is to advocate using your own knowledge to support yourself and develop software to make money, so that you can not only benefit the people, but also become famous and support your family.

The other is the complete opposite.

They advocate freedom and free of charge, and all software should be free for ordinary people to use. Only in this way can the computer industry develop and grow and benefit all mankind.

Using these developed software to make money is really too low and completely violates the principle of Internet freedom.

The differences between the two groups of people will not end until 2020.

In 2020, paid software has become mainstream, occupying at least 80% of the world of software engineers.

But free software is also tenacious, especially since they have a leader - Linus Torvalds, who developed the LINUX free operating system.

Speaking of Linus, no one may know it, but everyone knows about the mobile operating system developed based on LINUX.

it's called

Android.

Android system.

The Android system, the most used mobile phone system in the world, is free. This has set up a big banner and encouraged free software engineers to move forward.

Of course, when it comes to the earliest "Father of Free Software", it has to be Tim who invented the World Wide Web, that is, the WWW network.

If he hadn't made the multi-text web search program free, computers would have had to wait for many more years before they could be as prosperous as they will be in the future.

Oh, by the way, as early as February, Tim and his team invented the World Wide Web. Now it has undergone intense and rigorous testing and has been proven to be ready for use.

How exactly it needs to be completed, how to update and patch it, can only be slowly improved through constant use.

Moreover, Tim and the others came to Seattle, USA, before the Oscars were announced, and used the WIN2.0 operating system to run the World Wide Web at Microsoft's headquarters.

Bill Gates, who had watched the entire operation of the World Wide Web, strongly asked Yin Jun to meet with him when he was on the phone with Yin Jun, so that everyone could discuss it.

Needless to say, this genius with an extremely keen sense of the market has already seen the various benefits of the promotion of the World Wide Web.

Yin Jun ignored him for the time being, and just asked Tim and others who had finished testing to leave a copy of the software and return to Xiangjiang.

Teenagers are not afraid that Bill Gates will steal software and ideas.

The first is that the World Wide Web patent has been registered for a long time, and it was registered in three stages, covering the three stages of creativity, initialization and finished product.

With such a complete patent chain, no one can take the patent away from Yin Jun.

Secondly, Microsoft is not yet a monopoly giant that is so powerful that it is not afraid of any criticism. They do not yet have the confidence to shamelessly plagiarize completely.

Besides, Yin Jun is still the second largest shareholder of Microsoft, so they definitely can't do this.

Yin Jun did not agree to discuss with Bill Gates immediately, but he left the software and programs of the World Wide Web, which reassured Bill Gates.

Nowadays, WIN2.0 has many changes and progress compared to WIN1.0.

But just relying on WIN2.0 and Microsoft itself, Bill Gates still doesn't have that much confidence in defeating Apple's operating system and gaining more market share in the market.

But if we have the idea proposed by Yin Jun before, and let countless software companies and engineers use various software programs to help enrich the WIN2.0 operating system so that it has countless usable and interesting programs, then It can defeat Apple in one fell swoop with its practical content.

This is something Bill Gates strongly agrees with, and it is also one of the important reasons why he agreed to Yin Jun joining Microsoft.

With such a talented young man guiding by its side, Microsoft will definitely have a forward-looking advantage that others do not have, and thus achieve success.

Through the Electronics Expo, WIN2.0 stole the show, and Bill Gates became even more eager for Yin Jun to come over and discuss plans together.

However, Yin Jun delayed his flight from New York to Seattle for about two weeks after he separated from Sophie Marceau.

If it were Bill Gates 20 years later, he would have been able to stop calling Yin Jun and wait until Yin Jun came over.

However, today's Bill Gates is only in his twenties, and he is far from as calm as he will be in the future. Seeing the extremely huge market beckoning to him, and seeing countless software engineers willing to join the Microsoft Windows system camp, how can he Can you bear it?

Without three or five life-threatening phone calls every day, this is already his maximum.

When Yin Jun arrived at the Seattle airport, Bill Gates drove him to pick him up.

After picking up Yin Jun, he couldn't help but chatter in the car.

"Jun, you really missed the big event!" Bill Gates said with excitement, "Our booth has the most people in the entire Electronics Expo, and they almost crowded our booth! And after a few days, our orders It’s also the most! Now the factory is working hard to produce system installation floppy disks every day, and more computer manufacturers are contacting us! We are going to start making a lot of money!”

Don't doubt that Bill Gates does business just to make money. He doesn't have so many great feelings.

Maybe after Microsoft becomes famous, Bill Gates will choose to give people some chicken soup, but not now.

Remember the "Open Letter to Computer Enthusiasts" he wrote, right?

After hearing the name, many people thought it was a letter from him encouraging everyone to learn and understand computers, right?

Many people will quote this when writing novels, thinking it is such an inspirational thing.

It turned out that these people had never read the letter, and what the letter said had nothing to do with the above.

In fact, this letter is very simple and expresses only one meaning.

"I, Bill Gates and my colleagues have worked hard to develop the program, but you guys are using it in vain. Can you deserve me? Come on, here is my address and contact information. Please consciously pay the royalties Send it to me, thank you!”

Look, Bill Gates has been forced to do this. Do you think he doesn’t care about money?

Do not make jokes!

So now Bill Gates can make a lot of money. He feels that he can make tens of millions of profits a year. He simply feels like he is in heaven.

If Yin Jun tells him now that he can make more than 100 billion US dollars in wealth by relying on Microsoft in the future, I wonder if this guy will have a myocardial infarction and drive into the opposite road.

In fact, times make heroes.

If Bill Gates hadn't encountered Apple's complacency and IBM's need for a universal and simple operating system, Microsoft would have been like other ordinary software companies, disappearing from the crowd.

If Apple uses an open ecosystem from the beginning, Apple's system operation model will soon appear on other computers, and then the WINDOWS system will have no room to struggle.

If IBM didn't disdain to make operating systems and didn't just indulge in its own hardware development, but chose to make its own operating systems, with Big Blue's super strength, do you think they couldn't do it?

However, both Apple and IBM ignored this market, so Microsoft soared and achieved dominance in the computer software market for twenty years!
