Paul Allen thought he had a good idea. He wants to use Microsoft's technologies and brand to suppress Lenovo Kingsoft. But he does not know this is what Feng Yu wants.
The earlier VISTA is released, the better it is for Lenovo Kingsoft. If Microsoft stops the maintenance and upgrades of XP like in Feng Yu's previous life, it will be perfect.
If not, Lenovo Kingsoft might not be able to get a lot of market share and might not even win against Microsoft in Hua Xia and Eastern Europe.
But if Microsoft introduces VISTA, everything will be different.
Lenovo Kingsoft is also thinking of ways to improve the compatibility of the operating system. One is to work with their partners to develop products that are compatible with Lenovo Kingsoft's operating system. For example, some popular applications, games, etc. will increase the interest of the users.
Fruit Company had used this method to groom their loyal users and position themselves as a high-end product. In terms of systems and software, they pursued speed and user experience, and highlighted their own characteristics.
Of course, Fruit Company had developed a lot of their own software for entertainment and office use, and these software are the most advanced in the world.
No IT company can maintain the lead in all aspects. Lenovo Kingsoft's partners in other countries also have their own trump cards.
If these products do not support Microsoft's operating system and only support Lenovo Kingsoft's XOS, more users will choose to install it.
Especially XOS, which is cheap and is the same as a normal game software. Wasn't it possible to install two systems on a computer? In the early years, many computers were like this.
This way, more users will try to use Lenovo Kingsoft's operating system, and Lenovo Kingsoft will have the opportunity to increase its market share.
Especially now, Feng Yu owns the world's biggest game development company, Wind and Rain Games. Not only online games, but standalone PC games, etc., are also the world's number one.
If Lenovo Kingsoft's new games only support XOS, the loyal fans of the company will choose to install XOS.
There are many ways to do this, but it is to use other products to drive XOS. Even in terms of hardware, it had to support XOS.
… …
Blizzard announced that their new game, < World of Warcraft >, will be the first to release a limited beta version of XOS for the users to experience.
Many gaming fans were in an uproar after the news was released. What is XOS? They understood that OS was the meaning of the system, but what did this X mean? Unknown?
Soon, the news spread on the internet. This XOS is a PC Windows operating system developed by Hua Xia's Lenovo Kingsoft. Compared to Microsoft's XP or 2000, it is a huge improvement.
Therefore, the fans began to ask when XOS would be released. If XOS wasn't released, how could they play World of Warcraft?
Wind and Rain Korean Game Development Company announced that their newly developed game, < Kartrider >, will be launching its Open Beta for the XOS. However, they did not release the Open Beta for the Microsoft operating system.
After that, Wind and Rain Games and their partners announced that their new games will be XOS Public Beta or Limited Beta. Microsoft is not involved in any of these.
Some older games, such as Legend of Mir, had been developed to the third generation. Now, they are announcing that the new map will only support XOS and not Microsoft.
The internet cafe owners were going crazy. What was wrong with these game companies? All their new games are supporting XOS. What are they going to do?
The mainstream operating system is still XP. Are these companies going to boycott XP and Microsoft?
What should they do? Install two operating systems? But they are internet cafes. How can they let the users choose between two operating systems? This is too troublesome.
But they also have to install the two operating systems. If they don't install the two operating systems, they will lose the customers who come to play games. Without these customers, the internet cafes' income will drop by 80%!
The internet cafes are helpless. This is the so-called 'When the gods fight, the soldiers will suffer'.
Even if this is the case, they can only accept it. But when will XOS be launched?
Can't they just buy it?
Of course, if they can install it without spending money, it will be better.
If this operating system is the same as the original Microsoft operating system, they will not be able to afford to install it. A normal internet cafe will need at least a few dozen computers. The bigger internet cafes will have more than a hundred computers, and some internet cafes even have a few hundred computers. The amount of money he would have to pay this time was not a small amount.
With this amount of money, the internet cafes can upgrade their computers.

"Hmph! Feng Yu is starting to stir up trouble. They are using games to promote XOS. Do they think they can defeat us with this? At that time, more users will feel troubled, and they will force the game developers to introduce games that are more suitable for our Microsoft operating system. In the past, Apple's software did not support Microsoft, but they still compromised in the end. "
Paul Allen sat in Bill Gates' office, crossed his legs, and sipped on a fragrant coffee.
Bill Gates frowned. "Not only that. Lenovo Kingsoft's partners had also introduced XOS versions of their software. Their upcoming software will only support XOS for now. Many hardware manufacturers had also announced that they will support XOS. "
Unknowingly, Lenovo Kingsoft has become a powerful force. But these forces should be tied together by money.
Feng Yu wonders how much Lenovo Kingsoft had spent to promote XOS. They are still not listed, and where did they get so much money?
Lenovo Kingsoft does not have so much money, and they had used up all their loans. But they had borrowed a sum of money from Wind and Rain Holdings and promised to repay it within 3 years. If they cannot repay it, they will use their shares to repay it.
The rest of Lenovo Kingsoft's shareholders do not have any objections. They believe that Feng Yu is not trying to take over Lenovo Kingsoft. If Feng Yu wants to, he has many opportunities.
Furthermore, they trust Feng Yu's character and will not do such a thing.
1 billion USD is not a small amount, and Lenovo Kingsoft will not be able to get another loan. Even Minsheng Bank will not lend so much money to them. Even Feng Yu, Liu Chuanzhi, Zong Qingxian, etc. are Minsheng Bank's shareholders.
But Feng Yu believes that 1 billion USD will help Lenovo Kingsoft develop faster. In the future, Lenovo Kingsoft's returns will be more than 10 billion USD.
When Bill Gates and Paul Allen are discussing how to force those software manufacturers to introduce compatible versions of Microsoft operating system, Ballmer barged into the office.
"Bill Gates, Softbank seems to be siding with Lenovo Kingsoft!"
