When Feng Yu was about to return to China, another incident happened in the US. This incident attracted the world's attention to the US again.
Microsoft's VISTA was proven to be a more secure system, but it was full of loopholes and could not withstand a single blow.
A few American high school students, learning how to hack, downloaded a Trojan horse that was used to attack Win2000's vulnerabilities. They made some changes to it and easily broke through Vista's firewall. They proudly posted this achievement on the internet, and it was quickly reposted and spread all over the internet.
Feng Yu asked Liu Chuanzhi if they were the ones who did this. Why did they frame those unlucky US students?
Liu Chuanzhi shook his head. Lenovo Kingsoft was indeed looking for vulnerabilities in Microsoft VISTA. But he did not expect them to solve the vulnerabilities so easily.
However, they also played a role in adding fuel to the fire. For example, they quickly announced many vulnerabilities in the VISTA system on the internet, not just in terms of security.
Once it was announced, it would let people know that the so-called new system, VISTA, had not been used much. It needed constant updates and patching of loopholes.
Everyone was used to this. They could understand the virus and system upgrades. However, Vista didn't even make any changes to a loophole that appeared in Win2000. How can you talk about revolutionary changes?
Many experts on the internet became interested. They all tried it out. Some Trojan horse programs that targeted XP's vulnerabilities easily broke through VISTA's firewall after making some slight changes. Many active defense software could not detect it because of these vulnerabilities.
Suddenly, Microsoft's reputation for VISTA plummeted.
Microsoft's reputation was already not as good as XP and XOS. Now, it got even worse. This was the worst system in Microsoft's history.
Although it was a brand new program, most of it was the same as XP. It was just that the interface looked completely different.
But it was this difference that many people could not understand and were not used to.
On the Internet, people began listing the various shortcomings of VISTA. There were dozens of them. There were more than a dozen of them, and there were still people adding more.
Slow computing speed and Microsoft's so-called optimizations could not be seen. In the past, Microsoft's operating systems had always been faster. But this time, Microsoft's operating system is slower than the previous XP.
Moreover, this system greatly increased energy consumption. The same laptop could last for one and a half hours with XP installed, but with VISTA installed, it could not even last for an hour.
Microsoft does not have time to care about these negative reviews. They are desperately ordering their people to fix the bugs. They must fix all the bugs as soon as possible, and they must find the bugs faster than anyone else. They must not let Microsoft off guard again!
Microsoft is indeed Microsoft. Within a week, Microsoft released some patches and fixed most of the vulnerabilities. Microsoft also promised that the rest of the vulnerabilities will be fixed within a month. Please believe in Microsoft.
Alright, everyone believed him. Then, those users who had installed VISTA started to install the patch.
At this time, they discovered another problem, and that was that these patches were very large. There were only a dozen or so patches, but it was already more than a gigabyte.
After installing the new patch, they found that the system's calculations were even slower, and the time it took to turn on and off the computer had also increased. The memory consumption had also increased.
They had not even fixed all the bugs. If they fix all the bugs, it will take up more space. Will the computing speed be slower?
So, there were more negative reviews of VISTA on the internet than before the bugs were fixed. Many users expressed their disappointment with VISTA and decided to buy an XOS to install it.
Feng Yu saw this and immediately ordered his men to promote XOS. He also targeted Microsoft's weaknesses. He also collated some of the comments about the shortcomings of the VISTA system on the internet and published them in the newspaper to expand its influence.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Microsoft's VISTA had received many negative reviews, and Fruit's PC company had gained a huge advantage. Fruit's market share had increased by a large margin, and they had made high profits.
This also allowed Fruit to invest more money into R&D of other products. This will ensure their technologies will improve rapidly, and Fruit will prosper in the future.
But in this life, it is different. Fruit is trying their best to step on Microsoft and attack Microsoft's operating system. At the same time, they are also promoting their PC products.
There was also XOS, a direct competitor on the system, and it was supported by almost all the PC manufacturers.
XOS's reputation is much better than Microsoft's.
Because the mainstream viruses and trojans were targeting Microsoft's operating system, XOS is better than VISTA in terms of system security.
Furthermore, XOS also includes Lenovo Kingsoft's anti-virus software. This will make the operating system more secure.
VISTA's reputation had fallen, and its sales had dropped. Even the PC with this operating system is not selling well, and those PC manufacturers are not happy.
I will support Microsoft. Microsoft must be as good as before. Now, no one likes to use your operating system. Many consumers had complained that even if they bought a PC with VISTA installed, they will regret it and buy an XOS CD to reinstall.
Instead of going through so much trouble and spending more money, they might as well buy a PC with XOS installed. This will save them time and money!
Feng Yu was looking at the comments about Microsoft's operating system on the internet, and the smile on his face never disappeared. Those netizens who attacked Microsoft's operating system were too cute. If Feng Yu meets them, he must shake their hands and thank them!
From the looks of it, even the heavens were helping him.
These are all talented people. If they can work for Lenovo Kingsoft to develop operating systems or do system security tests, they might be able to perform well.
"Kameda, get your men to look for those people who left comments on Microsoft's website. They are the people who found the vulnerabilities in VISTA. They are all talented people. See if you can recruit them. That's right. Let them know that we have more potential than Microsoft! "
The next day, an advertisement appeared on Microsoft's website. One of the people who found the vulnerabilities in VISTA had left a comment saying that he was recruited by Google to do security maintenance. Also, the company's HR staff said that they are looking for talents like him and will hire as many as they can!
Bill Gates and the rest almost vomited blood. What the hell is this? Posting a recruitment advertisement on our website? This is not an advertisement? You think we can't tell?!
This was intolerable! This was intolerable!
Fight back! We must fight back!
