As for the 32-bit processor era, it is also the era of graphics operating systems. In fact, the graphics operating system macos appeared in the early 1980s, but the reason why macos was not popular was because macos was closely tied to Macintosh computers and was not compatible with other PC machines. Moreover, because Jobs' stubbornness believes that Apple does not need to follow the steps of ibm, Apple computers and popular PC machines are not compatible at all.

The graphics operating system of macos is bundled into Apple computers, which naturally means giving up the vast PC market. Apple computers are outrageous and incompatible with most software and hardware, but have not received a generous reward, but instead makes the user base of Apple computers increasingly rare.

Apple computers are different from PCs. After buying them, you cannot add any compatible hardware. The systems on Apple computers cannot run software under most other system platforms.

The competition for the kingly position of operating systems has nothing to do with Apple, because Apple computers were originally a bit off the door. Apple computers are gradually reducing production, but their prices are constantly increasing. After all, the average cost of sharing the small output on each computer is high. It is said that it is a high-end computer, but the performance is not sufficient, and it is a popular computer, ordinary people will not accept its expensive price at all.

os/2 has been running on ibm-pc since last year and www.piaotian.comdows87.

However, most compatible machine manufacturers did not follow ibm's footsteps, but became fence-between. Except for Dell, who firmly stood on Microsoft's side, the Compaq 386 computer produced by Compaq, which rebelled against ibm's side, had the Os/2 system pre-installed on the Compaq 386 computer. Other compatible computer operating systems are selected by users, and they like to use www.piaotian.comdowww.piaotian.coms-dos or ibm-dos. In fact, it is the same thing.

...

At this time, Zhang Bixuan didn't know that after ibm could not fight Windows 87 in Os/2, he had already used up his wits and wanted to stumbling to Microsoft.

For many years, Tim Patterson felt very uncomfortable watching Microsoft's stock rise every day. Because the Dos operating system software that laid the foundation for Microsoft was exactly what he used to make after four months.

"That Microsoft company is so shameful! I made a fortune with your product, but I only gave you a little pitiful fee and sent you away! I think you should go to court to sue Microsoft for fraud!" A senior ibm company executive said to Patterson.

Tim Patterson said distressedly: "But, the person who cheated nine years ago was Bill Gates! Now Microsoft's management has changed a lot! Forget it, I don't want to sue them anymore. The new Microsoft chairman, Mr. Zhang Bixuan, once compensated me last month, and he gave me a check of USD 10 million."

"Oh no! I think it's too unfair to you! You know, ms-dos is your hard work. This software alone brings more than billions of dollars in revenue to Microsoft. Besides, without that dos operating system, Microsoft will not have the opportunity to enter the operating system field! You should go to court to sue Microsoft. We can pay the lawyer fee, and you can ask Microsoft to compensate you at least $1 billion before you can calculate it!" The representative of ibm said excitedly to Patterson. His expression of resonating with Patterson, who was already aggrieved.

After thinking about it, Patterson finally couldn't stand the temptation of astronomy wealth of 1 billion US dollars, and said weakly: "Okay! I can sue Microsoft! However, the abominable Bill Gates who cheated me at that time was not the current Microsoft Chairman Mr. Zhang Bixuan!"

In fact, Patterson thinks that Zhang Bixuan is a good person, otherwise how could he give himself a compensation of US$10 million? The treacherous and cunning guy is Bill Gates, the former chairman of Microsoft.

"Hey, why do you care about so much? Let's take the lawsuit first. Anyway, our ibm company pays for you. If you win, you will get the benefits. If you lose, you will not lose any loss!"

A gate in Patterson's heart suddenly opened, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, okay..."

...

Zhang Bixuan looked at the companies he owned with passion, Microsoft, Dell, and Cisco! When these stock prices were at their peak, he could get trillions of dollars in assets by selling stocks. Dell, Cisco, a total of less than 300 million US dollars, which was a big profit.

Although only Microsoft has shown its domineeringness so far, Dell and Cisco are undoubtedly promising.

In 1989, compatible PCs already owned more than 80% of the entire personal computer market. Other models such as Apple machines are incompatible with other computers due to software and hardware, and the number of computers sold is not even as high as that of ordinary compatible PC machines. And ibm, which created the trend of PC machines, only accounts for less than 10% of the market share.

Originally, a year ago, Microsoft's operating system was mainly used on ibm's PC machines. Now, ibm has its own Os/2 system, which naturally makes all ibm computers unable to run www.piaotian.comdowww.piaotian.comdowww.piaotian.comdowww.piaotian.comdowww.piaotian.comdowww.piaotian.com dowww.piaotian.com dowww.piaotian.com dowww.piaotian.com. I found that preinstalled Os/2 can only run a small amount of software.

For example, those engineers who use www.piaotian.com, which are used to work, take it for granted that everyone uses computers to do serious things, and never thought that 80% of people use computers for entertainment.

"Boss, "Age of Empires" has been completed, you can try it out! Test our results!" said an employee who participated in game design and completed certain program writing tasks.

"Oh, me?" Zhang Bixuan walked to a machine and opened the game program. Zhang Bixuan was not good at playing stand-alone games. He chose Chinese civilization, and the opponent he chose was Little Japan. Zhang Bixuan was immediately happy and used cheating to make gold, wood, stone, food and other materials extremely rich. Marx said that once the material is abundant, the society will develop faster. Sure enough, Chinese civilization soon improved from the Stone Age, creating a group of archers, and cavalry abused Japan. What we in China is more resources, the more army, and the right population is.

After the abuse, Zhang Bixuan said, "Look, there are bugs in the game! Make it up immediately. If you are playing computers and a computer character in Japan, you can cheat if you are allowed! If players compete, you cannot cheat!"

Employees: “…”

With Microsoft's position in the software industry, Longteng Games Company invited many reporters to participate in the product launch conference of "Age of Empires".

Suddenly, many reporters became interested.

"What will Microsoft do to do? It's not fighting with Super Soft on financial software, nor does it launch a better operating system, but instead starts to make games?" A "Popular Electronics" magazine sent an IT news reporter to a magazine that was strange.

"You'll know just look!" Another economic news reporter said with anticipation. This reporter is actually a game enthusiast, and he has dabbled in everything from arcade games, TV games to recent computer games.

"Oh, look! Is that a computer game? The scenery is the same as it is! The mountain village, the villagers, and a running pig! No, I'm going to play, I want to experience it right away!" The Economic News reporter, the Economic News reporter, shouted and ran towards an airplane.

...

Recently, the newly established Longteng Game Company launched a computer game called "Age of Empires", which made the live game fans excited. Longteng Game Company was formed based on the full-effect studio originally affiliated to Microsoft.

"An unprecedented computer game, this is a game revolution!" An economic newspaper actually published a praise and evaluation of "Age of Empires".

Players who have played "Age of Empires" desperately boasted to other players as the capital to experience one more game than others.

Originally, the Imperial Age would not be launched until 1997, and that Imperial Age had very high requirements for computer configuration, and at least Intel Pentium 90mhz CPU, 16mb memory, and 80mb hard disk space were required to run.
