"Our Winter Alliance represents the direction of the entire IT technology!" Zhang Bixuan said to Grove!

Grove smiled and said, "You are right! Microsoft solved a bug, and updating a patch to the system is also a major advance in technology!"

The two laughed out loud.

At this time, with the help of Microsoft and Intel, Dell's 486 computer gradually changed to become the mainstream computer. After all, the 486 computer was only about US$200 more expensive than the 386 computer, but its performance has been significantly improved.

Microsoft's recent operating system Windows 87ps2 version has added the optimization function of 486 computer hardware, and users no longer question the promotion of 486 better than 386.

A few months ago, Intel 486 chip was just launched, and Compaq Computer Company arrogantly rejected the 486 chip. At this time, Compaq Computer Manager was very regretful. Compaq continued to increase the price of 386 computers and was completely abandoned by consumers. Compaq 386 computer sales have been declining, and it is no longer the domineering attitude that was when it was catching up with ibm-pc.

Although the "Longteng UFIDA Financial Software" has much more functions than the "Super Financial Software" of Super Soft Company, it has achieved good sales results in China.

In particular, many PC manufacturers are very interested in "Longteng UFIDA Financial Software".

Michael Dell, president of Dell, swore that since using "Longteng UFIDA Financial Software", it has saved the company a lot of human resources, thus making the entire Dell company in an orderly manner during its rapid expansion.

Last year, when Dell was listed on the Nasdaq, its market value was only US$30 million. At this time, after Dell's boss became Zhang Bixuan, its assets expanded to US$500 million in half a year. It expanded 15 times in half a year, which made people jealous of Dell's terrifying expansion speed.

Because Dell has done a live advertising, many small and medium-sized IT companies have begun to try to use "Longteng UFIDA Financial Software". Anyway, this set of financial software can be tried for 3 months, and you can return the product if you are not satisfied. These IT companies are frequently exposed to computers, and employees do not need training to be able to use computers proficiently, so they are easier to accept financial software.

"Longteng UFIDA Financial Software" is quietly circulating in Silicon Valley IT in the United States.

However, many large groups in the United States do not have many adoption of "Longteng UFIDA Financial Software". On the one hand, many companies that want to use financial software think that financial software is not necessary to be so complicated; on the other hand, most companies do not trust financial software, and they think that computers are prone to failures, and the possibility of human brain failure is much higher than that of computers.

Through market research, more than 70% of senior executives in the United States do not have a sense of trust in financial software, and some new business owners cannot afford financial software.

Among the more than one million companies in the United States, less than 5% of them use financial software. Zhang Bixuan told Balmer to develop the financial software market and strive to attract more customers in front of super soft.

Balmer had a sudden inspiration and actually started the ideology of an entrepreneur. He turned the sale method of "Longteng UFIDA Financial Software" into the same as real estate businessmen who sold houses, and could pay in installments. A small business version of "Longteng UFIDA Financial Software" of 10,000 US dollars can be purchased for 10 years, and it will pay 1,500 US dollars a year, equivalent to 15,000 US dollars a set of software.

All Microsoft products are embedded with anti-pirated programs compiled by Zhang Bixuan. This anti-pirated program is completely written in machine language and takes up almost no space.

When installing the software produced by Microsoft, a mini program will automatically mark the computer. In the future, the programs on the floppy disk cannot be installed in another computer without the corresponding mark, and the programs installed on the computer cannot be copied and copied.

Only intelligent life treasures can use machine language programming without any barriers. Even if the genius computer engineer of this era wants to crack this anti-pirated program, it will take at least three years to work. Even if some people have the will to spend several years specifically cracking this anti-pirated program, it doesn’t make any sense. Because in three years, Zhang Bixuan will naturally use the more difficult anti-pirated program.

Pirates hate Microsoft. Microsoft's systems are compatible with most computers, so Microsoft's products are always the hottest, and pirated programs of popular software are also the easiest to make money. Everyone in the world hates people who cut off their own financial resources.

The drizzle is like silk, continuous. Once it rains in spring, it will be endless. The land in the suburbs is muddy and water is flooded.

Such rainy weather does not have much impact on hackers who don’t like to go out and walk around.

The suburbs of Seattle, the green manor is full of the atmosphere of life growth. An underground pirated software factory is opened in a farm villa. An underground factory means a factory that is shameless and will not pay taxes, and it is not really opened underground.

"Microsoft is such a fucking bastard. Most of the software developed can't be cracked. If all software companies develop software that is so difficult to pirated, we will be done!" said Bill Gibson, a man with a messy head, "But, how did the pirated Windows 87 come from on the market? Could it be that Microsoft manufactures pirated versions to steal the profits of its own genuine software? Oh no, this is ridiculous! Well, it may be a perverted hacker to crack it! We, an ordinary hacker, probably not enough!"

His face was full of frustration and his confidence was completely blown.

In the 1970s, Bill Gibson was a telephone pilot who "loved to explore the secrets of telephone systems". Later, cracking telephone systems was no longer popular. Bill Gibson became a computer hacker with the trend. At the same time, he was also a pirated software maker. He sold at least 100,000 pirated software every year. With the price of 10 US dollars per pirated software, he easily earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual income.

A few months ago, his colleagues in the pirated software industry told him that since Microsoft's original Bill was driven away, most of Microsoft's software products have been difficult to copy.

Bill Gibson believed in his computer technology too much. Before he cracked Microsoft's products, he boasted to people: "Wait for the cracked version of Windows 87 marked with Bill Gibson to appear. Come to me to order it at that time, and the wholesale price is $10 per serving, haha!"

After several months, he was highly focused. From the moment he was working, his eyes were almost entirely focused on the computer screen, and his body was tense and stiff. However, he worked for two consecutive months without any gains. The copied files were still a bunch of meaningless garbled codes, not operating system programs.

After losing confidence in cracking Windows 87, Bill Gibson turned to cracking other Microsoft software to win back some self-esteem. Unexpectedly, he was hit hard by "Longteng UFIDA Financial Software" these days. This time, he could not crack the content of the software without using any means, and even copied it and could not copy it.

"No! It seems that I have to change careers. Sooner or later, other software companies will learn from Microsoft's unethical behavior and cut off our pirated merchants' life. Well, I will change careers tomorrow, and I will apply for a job at Microsoft!" Bill Gibson was completely convinced by Microsoft's anti-pirated program.

In operating system software, the market is full of www.piaotian.comdowww.piaotian.comux, unix operating systems, as well as PC machine manufacturers such as Siemens, Apple, Compaq and other computers have also developed some operating systems with little influence.

The purpose of manufacturing a large number of cheap "pirated software" is to take advantage of the price advantages of pirated software to seize the market. Wait until a wider group of users who are accustomed to using the www.piaotian.comdows system.

Although open source software can be praised by fanatical computer fans and real hackers who advocate freedom, it has to be admitted that these software usually do not have enough funds for subsequent development. It is impossible to achieve commercial results with programs developed by fanatical enthusiasts. Naturally, there is no hope to become a rival to seize the Microsoft operating system market. Open source operating systems such as linux and unix are destined to not become commercial rivals of Microsoft. Most importantly, these operating systems are not supported by most software manufacturers, and several more commonly used programs cannot be run on a system, and the number of users can be imagined. Moreover, who will pay attention to systems that cannot even play most computer games?

If the writers of these two operating systems were humbly running to Zhang Bixuan for advice, he would definitely say that he would make the system a little naughty, don’t be so stubborn, why would he do it so hard to make the operating system so difficult? This world has been a novice who has won the world from ancient times to the present.

It’s not that the technology of Linux and Unix operating systems is not good. On the contrary, these two operating systems have much less bugs than Microsoft’s operating systems, and they don’t need a patch on the left and a patch on the right, or patch on the patch. However, it’s difficult to get started. Zhang Bixuan specially built a computer with a Linux operating system installed. Without the guidance of his baby, he followed the instructions to explore the method in the instructions for a week but didn’t understand how to operate the operating system.

Therefore, Microsoft's patches and new bugs represent the emergence of "new technologies". Linux, which has not had new bugs for a long time, was unable to even get QQ after the Unix operating system. How can people support it? Because those two complex systems are not for novice. In all industries around the world, the population of novice has an overwhelming advantage. 99% of people are novices, how can you fight 1% of your non-novice?

At this time, with the increase of personal computers, the importance of microcomputer operating systems has long been realized, and many people are scrambling to enter this market.

Just like many new industries, people initially did not realize that this was a promising industry. The first generation of microcomputers did not have the requirements or ability to install operating systems, like large computers or small computers; they only needed the most basic operating system, which is usually read from rom, and this kind of program is called a monitoring program.

In the 1980s, ibm kicked off the PC era, and home computers began to become popular. However, the initial PC computer only had a pitiful 8-bit processor, *kb memory, screen, keyboard and low-quality speaker. The most famous set of computers in the early 1980s was Commodorec*, which uses the 6510 (6502 Special Edition) microprocessor produced by Motorola. This computer has no operating system, but initializes color screens, keyboards, floppy drives and printers with an 8kb read-only memory bios. It can directly operate bios with 8kb read-only memory basic language. The biggest use of this computer is to play some simple games. The interpreter of this basic language can barely be regarded as the operating system of this computer, and of course there is no kernel or hardware protection mechanism. Most games on this computer skip the bios level and directly control the hardware.

After Intel's 16-bit register processor 8088 appeared, the disk operating system appeared. The most famous disk-booted operating system in the early days was CP/M, which supported many early microcomputers and was plagiarized by ms-dos. The earliest ibmpc had a architecture similar to c*. Of course, they also used bios to initialize and abstract hardware operations, and even attached a basic interpreter! But the reason why its basic is better than other company products is that it is portable and compatible with any machine that conforms to the ibmpc architecture. Such a pc can use Intel

-8088 processor addressing and can have up to 1mb of memory, but initially only 640kb. The soft disk machine replaced the past tape drives and became a new generation of storage devices, and can read and write on its 512kb space. In order to support a further concept of file reading and writing, the disk operating system (dos) was born. This operating system can merge any number of magnetic areas, so it can place any number and size of files on a disk. The files are different by file names. ibm does not care much about the dos on it, so it obtains the pc-dos operating system by purchasing from an external company.
