Chapter 915: The Richest Man and Friends (Part 2)

Paul is a shareholder of DreamWorks. If Spielberg wants to start the project, Paul will definitely be able to influence it. With Paul's guarantee, Chu Fei's audition opportunities are absolutely no problem.

Obviously, Paul and Bill have a good personal relationship, otherwise they wouldn't say so brazenly in front of Bill that they want to listen to Windows' complaints. Paul is also an interesting person, and he probably wants to see the ugly face of the richest friend.

Guo Tailai has a lot of research on windows. He studied it when he was in college, but it was just a superficial study. The real intensive study was after the last system upgrade to read and write various storage media. Of course, the core must be the file system. There is no way, it can’t be done without research, otherwise what will be read out is just a large series of continuous binary data streams, which is meaningless to Guo Tailai. Even if it is written, you have to know what format to write in so that others can recognize it?

"I won't talk about the difference between FAT and NTFS, let's talk about windows itself!" The actual use experience is absolutely clear and logical.

"Windows95 is a revolutionary development. I admit this. It is not bad that Windows98 has carried out a large-scale update of the 95 system. But, what is Windows ME?" He said politely: "Many drivers are actually incompatible with the previous 95/98! Please, is that a newer version? Are they not compatible with the previous version?"

"Also, when playing various games in 95/98, it was unstable, and it would cause a blue screen of death." Guo Tai mentioned these problems are recognized by everyone, and they have been updated now, so Guo Tailai is not afraid of being in Bill. I said this before to express my dissatisfaction as a user: "This is still in use, if you are doing development, ha, it is a miracle not to restart dozens of times a day."

"Fortunately, there is an NT version, which is very stable, especially NT4.0." Guo Tailai twisted the long needles of the two, and continued: "Forcing my developers to use NT during development, the debugging is stable. Then turn to 98 to re-adjust."

"The stability of NT has always been good." Bill proudly picked up his wine glass and toasted Paul from a distance, then took a sip.

"But that and 95/98 are two different systems! The system files are different!" Guo Tailai once again complained righteously: "It was okay during the development, but the most painful thing was when it was released. VB has its own You can choose to release files by yourself, but it can’t solve the problem of file overwriting failure and restart. VC is a pain, and there is no way to automatically select which dynamic link libraries are needed. It can only be determined by the developer according to the DLL call chain. Find files one by one, and finally remove the core system files, lest an installation program kill the entire system."

"Is this the end? No!" Guo Tailai looked at the speechless Bill and the more enthusiastic Paul, and continued: "When you choose the release file, you have to consider whether to install it on 95 or 98, and then choose again. Release files of different versions. After selecting these, start to ponder. The files under the NT system are different. If you develop a set of windows programs, you must support NT, right? Then you will be pleasantly surprised to find that the release files are in 98 and On NT, let alone the version is different, even the name is different! A slightly wrong file is selected, and 98 and NT are interchanged. When the installation is successful and you are prompted to restart, congratulations, reinstall the operating system!"

"You can try the new InstallShield we bought." Bill is technically savvy, and facing this question from Guo Tai, he has to admit that it is indeed the case.

"The problem is that InstallShield doesn't completely solve this problem!" Guo Tailai sighed, "The various dlls in the published files cannot be automatically captured, so we can only select them all and delete them one by one, and test them on a blank system. , can finally be settled.”

...

A series of complaints, Guo Tailai talked for more than an hour, and then changed the topic to Microsoft's certification.

"And the MCP and MCSE certifications that you have done, cost me thousands of dollars five years ago." Guo Tailai looked like a miser: "Do you know how much my annual living expenses were at that time? "

"Ha!" Bill became happy when Guo Tailai said this: "I will check your certification number when I get back, and then invalidate your certificate, hahahaha!"

"Then you will find that your nursing expenses will be calculated by double!" Guo Tailai immediately confronted without hesitation: "If the overcharged part has to be spent, Paul, what advice do you have? Buy a yacht? Or a private jet? "

"I think it's better to invite a bunch of playboy girls to his estate one day when Bill is at work, and then when he goes back, there are a hundred reporters waiting for him to explain what he is going to play. Games, that would be more fun." Paul almost laughed out loud: "Bill's expression will definitely be very interesting then."

"Insightful!" Guo Tailai immediately gave Paul a thumbs up: "Too creative! A tragedy caused by a certificate?"

Bill looked at the two of them silently, and directly extended a middle finger to Paul. Obviously this was a joke. Even if Bill was at work at the gate, it is impossible for anyone to enter his manor casually.

"Bill, don't you realize that your eyes are a little blurry now?" Guo Tailai reminded with a big smile, "Take off your glasses and try?"

Bill was taken aback, and took off his glasses with a little surprise. The world in front of him was no longer the blurry world without glasses that he had been familiar with for decades, but another kind of world that was even more beautiful than wearing glasses. clear world.

"Look around, near and far." Guo Tailai continued to remind: "There may be some blurring during the process. After decades, your ciliary muscle and lens need to re-adapt. It will take half an hour at most. . Paul, you too. After you get used to it, you won’t be blind when you go to the NBA to watch the cheerleaders.”

The two looked around in great surprise, and Guo Tailai didn't stop them.

Because of Paul, the nursing lasted twelve hours. Bill was done, but he waited patiently, chatting and joking as the old friend's care ended.

Could the richest man in the world and his friends be fools? Guo Tailai looked very relaxed chatting with them, but he almost kept eating butter crisps, sweating like rain, everything showed that it was not easy for Guo Tailai.

Bill took a sip of the buttery crisp and spit it out in one bite. It was almost pure butter. How could this thing be eaten? I can't eat it when I'm hungry! But Guo Tailai has been eating almost 100 kilograms non-stop.
