Feng Yu found the flaws so quickly? Everyone was excited.
If Feng Yu can exploit the other party's flaws and amplify them, he will be able to suppress Microsoft and let XOS 2.0 take the lead in the PC operating system sales.
"Hardware compatibility. This is their biggest flaw." Lei Dajun said seriously.
Hardware compatibility? Zhong Qingxian was confused. He could not even be considered a dabbler in this field. He was a complete layman.
Wu Chih-gang explained to Feng Yu. It is the support for different chip architectures, and the main focus is to optimize the performance.
XOS 2.0 optimizes AMD's chip architecture, and HOS optimizes ARM architecture. If Feng Yu's guesses are right, Microsoft should be optimizing Intel's chip architecture.
Everyone's architecture is different, and the performance will be different. The system is very important to optimize the hardware, and it will affect the user's experience.
Feng Yu raised his brows. "You are saying Windows 7 did not optimize AMD's chips?"
"I should say they only optimized Intel's chips."
AMD's dual-core processors are selling better than Intel's, and they have agreements with many PC manufacturers. Many PC manufacturers will use AMD chips in their new PCs.
If Microsoft's Windows 7 did not optimize AMD's chips, then the PCs using AMD's processors will not be pre-installed with Windows 7. Is Microsoft crazy?
The reason why XOS 2.0 didn't optimize Intel's chips was to help AMD sell their products and take the initiative to create factions.
It was just like the Fruit company's operating system. It only optimized their chip architecture and performed poorly on other processors.
But Microsoft does not need to do this. Although Intel is still the market leader in the processor industry, their position is challenged by AMD.
Microsoft should not get involved in the processor competition. By right, no matter which processor has the most market share, the other party will still be Microsoft's customer.
Microsoft and Intel are close, but it should not be to this extent. This will affect Microsoft's profits.
Feng Yu remembered Windows 7 can also be used on tablets in his previous life. This means that at that time, the ARM architecture was supported, and it would definitely support AMD's architecture.
Microsoft had been working hard to develop a smartphone operating system, and this operating system should be the same as Windows 7. That means it should support ARM architecture. After all, most smartphones are starting to use ARM architecture, and there is also the new rising star in the market – Tablet PC.
When everyone was excited, Feng Yu poured cold water on them. "Don't get too excited. This is not Microsoft's final version, right? It's just a mirror image. The official version will definitely be different from this, and I think there will be a big difference on the point that you're talking about. "
Lei Jun was still staring at the computer screen. He suddenly looked up. "General Manager Feng means that this is a trap or a smokescreen for us?"
If it was a trap, then he would have to take it seriously. If they thought Microsoft and Intel are working together and let their guard down, they will be at a disadvantage when Microsoft's Windows 7 is launched.
Lenovo Kingsoft and Lenovo Group are also discussing if this XOS 2.0 should support AMD's chip architecture and reject Intel's chip architecture.
If Lenovo Kingsoft wants to work with AMD and follow the same path as a fruit company, then they will be greatly restricted.
Although HOS, smartphones, tablets, etc., this method is too extreme. If Lenovo Kingsoft wins, it might be a big win. If they lose, it might be a huge loss.
Even if they lose, Lenovo Kingsoft will not be removed from the PC operating system. But if they lose, they will have to go with the cheaper route.
When Microsoft introduced its operating systems, they were all very expensive. A home version of Vista costs 300 to 400 USD. How much is a PC? Microsoft's profits at that time were much higher than those PC manufacturers.
Feng Yu does not want Lenovo Kingsoft to continue selling their products cheaply. With Lenovo Kingsoft's reputation now, why can't they sell their products at the same price as Microsoft?
If Lenovo Kingsoft keeps going with the cheaper route, it will drag down the profits of the rest of the industry and affect their own profits.
Furthermore, based on Feng Yu's previous life, Windows 7's retail prices will be lowered. The normal version will only be sold at around 60 USD. This was not only to change the reputation of Vista, but also because of the global economic crisis.
If Lenovo Kingsoft continues to sell their products at such high prices, it will be hard to sell them. Microsoft must find a way to change their image of Microsoft. Furthermore, Lenovo Kingsoft is their direct competitor now, and they dare not to insist on selling their products at high prices.
"Microsoft will surely support AMD's chip architecture and ARM's chip architecture. Their Win 7 combines the advantages of XP and Vista, and they will surely have a simplified version for tablets and smartphones."
"We must not let our guards down. This time, it might decide our status. Also, this time, our products' retail prices will not be lower than theirs. But it will not be higher than theirs. It's best to maintain the same price. "
"Also, how is our XOS 2.0 optimizing Intel's chip architecture? Is it better than Windows 7?"
Although Feng Yu had asked his men to tell the other PC manufacturers that XOS 2.0 will not optimize Intel's core, those PC manufacturers were against this.
To those PC manufacturers, it is their right to choose their core, and they should not be tied down by the operating system.
When Microsoft was the dominant PC manufacturer, they were not even willing to tie down their operating system. Now, both PC manufacturers have their own choices.
Also, the PC manufacturers can influence the operating system's sales to a certain extent. If it weren't for Lenovo Group, Lenovo Kingsoft's authority would be much lower.
Those PC manufacturers can work together to force Lenovo Kingsoft to provide a cheaper operating system. This way, they can threaten Microsoft to lower their prices. This will ensure the PC manufacturers' profits will not be overtaken by the operating system manufacturers.
A PC's hardware or software is more important. This has been debated for many years, and there is no answer. But from the perspective of profits, software is more profitable than hardware, and the industry threshold is lower.
Since those PC manufacturers are against this, then Lenovo Kingsoft must be prepared. If Microsoft wants to form a faction, then Lenovo Kingsoft will join them. If Microsoft does not, then Lenovo Kingsoft does not need to fight with them. This is the safest way.
"General Manager Feng, don't worry. We are also doing a good job on this. Since Microsoft's 7th generation PC operating system is being tested, should we start testing our XOS 2.0? "Qiu Bojun asked.
Feng Yu nodded. "Let's start."
