After Bill Gates introduced the features of the new product, he started to answer questions from the IT industry representatives and reporters. But as Microsoft's Chief Engineer, Bill Gates does not feel troubled by these questions.
"Mr. Gates, your VISTA system's startup speed is very fast. How fast is it? Compared to other systems like XOS, which is faster? "
Bill Gates frowned. Why are they comparing it with XOS? Since when can XOS be compared to Microsoft?
But Bill Gates did not get angry. He replied calmly: "Our system is faster than XP. As for XOS, I have never used it before. I don't know."
The representative continued to ask, "Then, will there be the same problem as XP, where after booting, the hard disk light will still flash frequently? Or will it be like XP, where on the surface, the boot is completed, but after booting, it will play dead?"
XP has too many services and components that need to be booted up, and that's why the boot time is very slow. The so-called optimization is not to turn off those services. It is to slow down the boot time. That means after the user logs into the system, the hard disk lights will still be flashing after boot.
"We did not discover this. XP's fake death is also rare. Also, when I was introducing it just now, I mentioned a new function called hibernation. It allows the computer to enter into a low-power standby state, thus avoiding the constant switching of the computer on and off. It can also save the user time. "
Microsoft knows about XP's problems, and their hibernation feature is designed for this. The PC does not need to be shut down, and it saves time to boot up. This speed is faster than XOS.
"Is your hibernation feature imitating XOS?" The representative continued to ask.
Bill Gates wanted to spit in his face. What do you mean we are imitating XOS? We came up with this feature ourselves. When we designed this feature, XOS did not exist yet!
But at the same time, he does not know how to explain. After all, XOS was introduced to the market first, and VISTA was introduced later. If they were the ones who created this feature first, then they will think Lenovo Kingsoft's system is an imitator.
"No. This is something we had thought of and developed a long time ago. It has nothing to do with XOS. Sir, you have already asked so many questions. Please ask someone else to ask some. "Bill Gates stopped the man from asking any more questions.
Kirilenko felt that this person was here to cause trouble for Microsoft. This person is targeting Microsoft's new operating system. Then when XOS was announced, there were no problems?
The representative sat down gloomily. Another white man with a flowery tie stood up. "Mr. Gates, the minimum recommended RAM for Vista is 1GB, but the mainstream laptops now only have 512MB of RAM. In other words, you've abandoned some computers with lower specifications, right?"
In fact, this representative had not actually used it before. If he had used it, he would have realized that if he wanted to smoothly use the VISTA system, he would need 2GB of RAM. This was because VISTA allocated RAM more rationally. Even if you had 2GB of RAM, you would still feel like you had used up all of it.
However, Vista had high requirements for internal memory. A small amount of internal memory was not enough.
Bill Gates replied. "Everyone should know that the development of RAM is very fast. Last year, 512MB was the mainstream. But this year, everyone will realize that 1GB is the mainstream. Some high-end PCs might have installed 2GB or even 4GB of RAM."
"Mr. Gates, let's not talk about the fact that the price of a larger RAM will increase several times, and not many consumers can afford it. Also, you didn't answer my question directly," Floral Tie said relentlessly.
"Then I can answer you. A computer with 512MB of RAM can also use our VISTA. But many of the functions require complicated calculations, and it will slow down the system. That's why we recommend computers with 1GB of RAM and above. As for those computers with 128MB or 256MB of RAM, they will not be able to use our VISTA system. "
"With the development of PC, I think those low-end specifications should be obsolete. How many people can endure the slow speed brought about by a low RAM? "
When Bill Gates replied to this question, he had mocked Lenovo Group's netbook as obsolete. Although he was unwilling to admit it, when the second order for the netbook was accepted, it reached a terrifying number of one million units worldwide!
This was something the other PC manufacturers did not expect, and they were tempted.
Now, Bill Gates wants to say that Lenovo's netbook is obsolete. This will prevent other PC manufacturers from taking the "wrong path." This will also affect Microsoft's XOS sales.
"You all have added a new user account control function. You say it will increase the security of the system. Will our daily operations be disrupted by this function? "The flowery tie continued to ask.
Bill Gates frowned. What's going on today? Why are all the questions asked accurately on VISTA's weak points?
These were all changes between the new and traditional operating systems. Whether these changes are allowed or not, it will be up to the user. If it is controlled by a Trojan, the user can choose to reject it to prevent the system from being hacked.
Of course, there would definitely be interruptions, but all he had to do was click the mouse to confirm. What was so troublesome about that? Bill Gates and the rest had forgotten that Microsoft's operating system was popular because of its simplicity.
This new function had increased the security of the operating system, but it made the operations more complicated. As for the security of the operating system, they can leave it to the anti-virus software. All the anti-virus software now has protection functions.
"This function will be interrupted, but it is not troublesome. All you need to do is to click on the mouse to allow it. Ok. That bespectacled friend, please ask your question. "
Bill Gates changed to another questioner. He hopes this person's question will be easy to answer.
"Mr. Gates, is your new operating system compatible with other software? Based on what you said, your operating system had undergone many changes and has stricter requirements. Until now, none of the software suppliers had announced that their products will support your VISTA operating system. "
"They will support us because we are Microsoft." Bill Gates replied confidently.
Lenovo Kingsoft had given those software companies a lot of benefits in exchange for them to release compatibility patches or new software that supports XOS. Some software companies even announced that they will release XOS versions of their software and will not support XP or Microsoft's new operating system.
Hmph! Those software companies' bosses will regret this. More users will choose to use Microsoft's new operating system. This is without a doubt!
