Soon, Microsoft followed Hulk's instructions and put the BAT version on their forum. At the same time, they released 1000 test codes for a small number of users to test.
A few days later, various user survey reports came out. When these reports were sent to Bill Gates, Bill Gates was grinning from ear to ear.
The reason was very simple. All the user reviews were very positive. Everyone was full of praise for the new MSN. They said that there was no other instant messaging software in the world that had a better experience than the new MSN. This was what a real instant messaging software should be like. QQ, that garbage, compared to MSN, can't even be considered dregs.
In the face of all these praises, Bill Gates felt like he was about to float. However, he was still cautious and went to the forum to take a look.
He even added some users as friends and chatted with them. In the end, he found that their reviews were very real. They really liked this pure MSN. Many people even directly praised it as a work of art. It was the most perfect instant messaging software!
Bill Gates couldn't even find a single negative review.
Therefore, Bill Gates was completely relieved. At the same time, in order to seize the time, MSN sent a large-scale update announcement to all users the next morning.
As a result, user feedback from all over the world came in three days later. The results were the same as in the forum. Almost all users praised the new version of MSN. They said that it was the best instant messaging software. It was many times better than the previous MSN. It was simply God's masterpiece.
These were all genuine user reviews. The forum that was originally full of criticism for MSN's plagiarism turned into MSN's stable in a short time. It was full of people who flattered MSN.
Most importantly, MSN's installed base had indeed started to increase, and it was increasing at 1.5 times the usual rate. This change had caused the entire MSN project team to become complacent. Even Bill Gates was about to become complacent.
Soon, Hulk's official appointment came down. He was responsible for the operation of the entire MSN.
The next day, Hulk made an even more radical suggestion, which was to force all MSN to update to the latest version.
After all, there were still many users who were too lazy to update the new version. Due to the huge gap between the new version and the old version, there would be many bugs when users communicated between the two versions. As a result, there were already some dissatisfaction with the bugs on the forum.
In times of crisis, the best solution was to completely eliminate the old version and let everyone use the new version.
"We saw in the forum that many people took the initiative to recommend their friends to use the new version of MSN. If we forcibly replace all the old versions with the new version, then more old users will experience the speed and convenience of the new version of MSN. This way, we can recommend more new users, especially QQ users, to join us!"
"Alright!" Bill Gates agreed without hesitation. He trusted Hulk very much and agreed with Hulk's opinion. After all, if MSN really wanted to beat QQ, it had to have more new users.
The next day, MSN's updates were changed from optional updates to mandatory updates. If they do not update, they will not be able to use MSN.
Although this made some old users very unhappy, they had to update it. Moreover, after experiencing the new version, many old users felt that the new version was better and more comfortable to use in a short period of time. It was a very good experience!
Therefore, MSN started to make headway on the internet and won the praises of many netizens. Many netizens even announced that they will be MSN's die-hard fans for the rest of their lives and that they love MSN to death.
On the other hand, the sensitive Las Vegas people started to challenge the odds between QQ and MSN. Originally, the odds between QQ and MSN were close to 1: 1. But with the revision of MSN and the positive comments from the netizens, the sensitive Las Vegas people started to lower the odds for MSN and raise the odds for QQ.
This made Microsoft feel that victory is in their hands. After all, if the Las Vegas people think they are going to win, then they are definitely going to win.
On the other hand, Ali is having a hard time.
Especially when Ma Yun received the latest user report. The speed of user growth has dropped significantly. This is the first time in history, and Ma Yun is sweating profusely. He immediately called for a meeting with the higher-ups to discuss countermeasures.
Ma Yun did not expect all the higher-ups to follow Microsoft's lead and introduce a pure version of QQ.
This shows that Ali's higher-ups also feel that the new version of MSN is better than the fancy QQ. They had lost their confidence and want to copy Microsoft's MSN.
Ma Yun sighed in his heart. Could it be that QQ had gone down the wrong path and is going to follow MSN's lead?
But if that's the case, QQ will become a copycat of MSN. Isn't this the biggest joke in the world? At the same time, all the new features added by MSN are failures.
Isn't this denying itself?
"Everyone, I think we should observe for a while longer!" Ma Yun felt he can hold on for a while longer, but the higher-ups immediately stood up and objected. "Chairman, we don't have much time left. If we continue to observe, MSN will become a superpower. I'm afraid we will be overtaken by MSN!"
"That's right. I suggest we give up on the new version and features that will be updated tomorrow and introduce a pure version within a week. We will compete with MSN for users!" The higher-ups expressed their opinions, and Ma Yun started to waver. After all, if everyone says this is a good idea, then this should be a good idea …
"Everyone, I have decided …" Ma Yun took a deep breath and said. "We must persevere. We must stick to our original path!"
In fact, Ma Yun originally wanted to announce the change, but for some reason, when he was about to say this, a stubbornness came out of nowhere and made him change his mind and stick to the original path.
"Chairman!" The higher-ups looked at Ma Yun in shock. They stood up and tried to persuade Ma Yun.
Unexpectedly, a person suddenly pushed open the door and entered. At the same time, he said loudly, "Our Senior Feng Qingyang said it well. We must stick to our original path and not waver!"
