Microsoft's CEO, Steve Ballmer, announced that Windows 7's development was completed and will be releasing the image files for users to download. Of course, there is a time limit for this trial.
Microsoft is good at free first, then charging later. You could download it for free and try it out. After a certain period of time, the protection program inside would be triggered and the computer would automatically shut down every two hours.
Most people can't stand this. For example, if the computer shuts down while they are working, it will affect their work. If they are playing a game and obtained a top-grade equipment, and the computer shuts down suddenly, their character will be disconnected. They will not be able to pick up the equipment, and they might even be killed by the monsters.
In this way, many people would have no choice but to buy the original system software, which would increase the sales of their products. Of course, it is more important to cooperate with those PC manufacturers.
Pre-installed software will be the highest sales volume.
Moreover, the image file released this time was also available in five languages: English, Russian, German, French, and Chinese.
In Feng Yu's previous life, this software was released later, and there is no Chinese among the five language versions. At that time, it was Japanese. Although Japan has a population of slightly more than 100 million, they have the most electronic products in the world.
From this, Microsoft can tell that the Hua Xia market has become very important to Microsoft.
This is not considered the official launch of the product, but it had attracted the attention of many users. Microsoft used their Internet Explorer, MSN, etc., to advertise on Asian tiger, etc., to attract more users to download the software for free.
This is like the open beta of online games. Only after more people test the software, will the developers know if there are any bugs in the system. This will make the product better.
Feng Yu had returned to Beijing and was in Lei Dajun's office. He watched Lei Dajun download the image file and install it.
Lei Dajun wants to do a detailed test on the system's performance, but Feng Yu told him not to. This is because most of the users are not professionals, and they will only try to feel the system's performance.
For example, the time taken to switch on and off the computer, the time taken to open documents, will there be a lag when opening multiple tasks, and the options in the list of functions are clear and easy to understand.
Feng Yu gave it a try and found that the Win7 system was pretty good. It was comparable to the one he used in his previous life. But after so many system updates in his previous life, this was still a trial version.
This means Microsoft's Windows 7 in this life is much better than Windows 7 in Feng Yu's previous life. Seems like the introduction of XOS had increased Microsoft's focus on PC development, and Microsoft must have spent a lot on R&D.
Don't think that the development of a system is easy. As long as you have people and a computer, the cost is very low. Microsoft must have spent a lot of money to develop this system in such a short time. Also, there must be a lot of abandoned code in this system.
Low software costs referred to production costs.
However, although this was very good, it was not as outstanding as XOS 2.0. At least, Feng Yu did a simple operation and felt that XOS 2.0 was better.
Also, Lenovo Kingsoft had adopted Feng Yu's suggestion. All the programs are displayed as tiles on the system's interface. This is similar to HOS, and it is suitable for HOS smartphone and tablet users.
XOS and HOS cores are similar, but not exactly the same. There are significant changes in the second generation. Although this will increase the difficulty of R&D and cost, it will also lower the possibility of being hacked by others.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Microsoft's Windows 7 image files contained viruses. It was created by someone to cause trouble for Microsoft. At that time, there were rumors that Apple was the one behind this, but there was no evidence.
Why did Microsoft change their core? This is to prevent the viruses and Trojan horses from evolving. Of course, it is also because they were forced to release the source code of many of their products.
Trojan horses are a nuisance to software developers. For example, there are many Trojan horses targeting XOS and HOS. As long as you develop your operating system, someone will try to create a Trojan horse.
They might do this to prove their skills, or for fun, or for some profits.
For example, a company that made an anti-virus software could create a virus trojan horse and then spread it on the internet. After many computers were infected, they could announce that their anti-virus software could now safely check and kill this virus trojan horse. This would increase the sales of their products and make a good profit.
Lenovo Kingsoft is also researching Trojan horses, but it is to test the performance of their anti-virus software. Feng Yu does not know if his subordinates had spread their own viruses and trojans, and he had never asked them.
But Feng Yu felt it should not be. Kingsoft's anti-virus software is getting cheaper, and it might be free in the future. Since it is so cheap, there is no need to do this.
Feng Yu used the Windows 7 operating system for a while, and Lei Jun sat down to test the system. This was their company's biggest competitor, as well as their most important competitive product.
HOS is the leader in the smartphone operating system market. Symbian, which used to be the biggest, is not as many as HOS. Microsoft is not selling well, and Black Rose can only stay in North America. Apple's sales are also not doing well.
But Microsoft still has the most users in the PC operating system market. When XOS was introduced, many users were using XP, and XP had not stopped updating. Many people are still using it.
Microsoft is not bragging when they say they are still the leader in the operating system industry. But Microsoft had experienced the failure of VISTA, and then introduced a new generation of Win7. The number of users of Microsoft XP will decrease rapidly.
Most of the original XOS users would definitely choose XOS 2.0, or they would simply not upgrade at all. They would still be able to continue using it. But it is not the same for the original VISTA and XP users.
A failed product will not only affect the company's reputation, but it will also cause users to leave. Users will be disappointed with Microsoft's new product, and it will be better for them to replace it with a more stable product.
Lei Jun and many other engineers from Lenovo Kingsoft were conducting tests. They are conducting professional tests to find out the differences between this operating system and XOS 2.0. They want to know the advantages and disadvantages of both systems. This way, they can make up for their own shortcomings and amplify their own strengths.
After a long time, Lei Jun raised his head. "I think I know the weakness of this Win7!"
