Chapter 1465 Disappointed Ballmer

Microsoft wants to "force" consumers to choose whether it is VISTA or XOS. This matter has attracted too many people's attention, especially those netizens. .Access for the fastest update:щщщ..сОΜ.

They are accustomed to the Internet, and naturally they cannot do without the computer, and of course, the 'operating system' of the computer.

Many people still believe in Microsoft, or they are used to Microsoft's system. When Microsoft launches a new system, some people can't wait to buy and install it immediately, and some people give up the pre-installation when choosing a new computer. XOS, but chose the pre-installed VISTA.

In less than a month, Microsoft has reversed the trend, and in the sales of 'operating system' operating system CDs, it has come from behind, surpassing XOS, showing the strength 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.

They just announced that Microsoft would stop updating the XP system, which immediately made the sales of VISTA soar and suppressed XOS.

Although VISTA is still not as good as XOS in terms of total sales at this time, but this month, VISTA has come from behind, it will take less than a year, maybe half a year is enough, VISTA will have the overall upper hand.

Maybe XOS can't disappear, but XOS can only appear on that kind of low-end netbooks in the future. Any computer with good configuration will choose their VISTA!

If you fight with us Microsoft, you are doomed to fail!

Bill Gates took a sip of red wine and nodded with satisfaction to Paul Allen: "This wine is really good, which winery is it from, my wife may like it too."

"I have a lot more. You like it. I'll send it to you tomorrow. Take out your treasured cigar, and we should 'smoke' a winning cigar." Paul Allen laughed.

Bill Gates also found the cigar with a smile on his face, and the two sat there puffing with smoke.

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 to expand their market share and improve their reputation, it will be enough to completely suppress XOS. computer use.

Even if Lianxiangyinshan is eventually divided into some markets, Microsoft is still the overlord of the 'operating system' and still has the final say!

After winning on the 'operating' operating system, the office software has to suppress this Lianxiang Yinshan again and regain their market. The profits in this area are very high.

Ballmer knocked on the door and came in. Paul Allen asked him to taste this red wine in a good mood, but Ballmer refused directly.

"Bill, Paul, I think you're celebrating too early. Didn't you read the comments about our system on the Internet?" Ballmer looked at the two people who were celebrating and sighed, this hasn't been completed. It's too early to celebrate, isn't it?

"Comment? I read it. Don't you just say that you are not used to it, what's the point? Of course, it is to let users get used to it slowly, get used to it, and it will not take long for them to like it. Isn't that how our system was popularized at the beginning? Is it?" Paul Allen said easily.

He took the initiative to invite Ballmer to drink today, but he didn't give him face, bah, next time you want to drink, I won't give it!

"It's not the same. At that time, our system brought users surprises and simplicity. But our new system has a lot of functions. The home version is much more than the XOS of Yinshan, let alone XOS. Speaking of our upcoming Pro and Enterprise editions."

"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 and worse!"

"And you pay attention that there is no XOS comment, the user is a lot of praise. For the time being, we have surpassed the sales volume,

That's because we're Microsoft, and those PC makers come out with new computers with our system pre-installed, and there's a lot of users who want to believe us. "

"But if these users are disappointed with us, what do we do? How do we respond?"

Bill Gates frowned and reprimanded: "Steve, you are too alarmist. How can users be disappointed with us, Microsoft, we have always been the best. What's more, don't you use that VISTA system, don't you? Do you know how innovative and epoch-making it is?"

Ballmer is tempted to say that a piece of software looks very different to a programmer than to a consumer. We think it is easy to use, that is because we know IT very well, and the software aspect is the 'elite' of the 'elite'.

But what about ordinary users. They may be construction workers, teachers, students, or even farmers. Do they understand that? All they want is simplicity!

At the beginning, Microsoft's system focused on the word simplicity, but now, it has completely changed.

Innovation, innovation, innovation.

Yes, innovation may make us go further, but it may also fail, and let us throw away what we have won!

According to Ballmer's vision, Microsoft should follow the rules of development, enough to keep them in the lead. Even if the innovation is successful, how much market share can it increase? And if it fails, the loss is huge.

He believes that Microsoft does not need to gamble at all, but should focus its 'energy' on developing smaller systems. Since netbooks are so popular, the Tab touch screen laptop that Microsoft originally promoted should be Restart.

Although the combination of those hardware manufacturers made their product fail because of its extremely poor price-performance ratio, the design concept is very advanced.

This tablet was originally proposed by Bill Gates, and it was also Bill Gates' dream. But just in the middle of promotion, Feng Yu withdrew, causing Microsoft's stock price to fall. Then came the birth of the dotcom bubble, which made Microsoft's market value evaporate.

In order to promote this Tab tablet, Microsoft spent a lot of money, but it turned out to be a failure and lost.

Ballmer felt that the reason why this tablet failed was not because of design problems, nor because it was not easy to use, but because the price was too high and the 'value for money' was too poor.

Of course, these are the reasons why the hardware manufacturers are united. They don't want Microsoft to enter the PC market, even this tablet.

However, this solution can completely cooperate with IBM or Intel. As long as we make 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 that it needs to be re-announced that it will continue to update the XP system for many years, so that someone can buy it. Now Microsoft's VISTA system, the Tab tablet may not be able to move. If production can be driven, then the price will increase again, or it will fall into the dilemma of high and low.

It is a pity that although Ballmer is the company's third largest shareholder, or the company's president and CEO, he seems to have unlimited trust from Bill Gates, but only Ballmer himself knows the real situation. He is like a puppet.

Ballmer suddenly felt tired, and he was a little tired of life at Microsoft.
