"Secondly, we have introduced a new sleep mode for Vista. In the new sleep mode, our system can never be turned off. It can standby with very low battery. And we can start it again very quickly. It only takes a few seconds, or even one second. It is more than three times more efficient than our Windows 2003 hibernation system. "
This function was somewhat similar to the one-button start/stop function in cars.
When your car stopped, the engine would be in standby mode. It would save fuel if you did not start it.
But it was proven.
All car owners with this function turned off the one-button start/stop function as soon as they got in the car.
It was the same in the operating system.
In fact, most users didn't like the so-called computer hibernation function, and they never used it.
Some consumers had even never used the sleep mode in their lives.
Chen Yu did not know why Microsoft insisted on introducing this function. Was it to show off their technology?
"Thirdly, we have introduced Super in memory management and file system.
Fetch technology can pre-store frequently used programs into the memory to improve performance. In addition, your background programs will not run at a higher level. You don't have to worry about a background program suddenly running and freezing you. Because the hardware driver operates in user mode, the system is fine even if the driver is broken. There is no need to restart the driver. "
Steve demonstrated as he spoke.
He installed the driver for the latest operating system.
Under normal circumstances, a restart was required after the driver was installed.
But with the new Vista operating system, there was no need to restart.
This function was liked by all the users present.
Although this function was only slightly changed, it was greatly convenient for users to install the driver.
After all, sometimes the installation of the driver required a restart. Wasn't it too annoying?
As for the memory management that Steve mentioned, some users did not understand it for the time being.
But Zhou Hongyi said with a serious expression, "Chen Yu, this function should be very powerful. It can increase the operating speed of the computer very quickly."
"Seems like it."
Chen Yu nodded. However, while this function might seem advanced, it might not necessarily be useful in practice. "I'm wondering if such a function will take up an unlimited amount of memory. When the time comes, this function will not only not increase the operating speed of the system, but it will also slow down the operating speed of the system. "
"Your idea is very novel, but Microsoft should have considered it."
"That might not be the case. Don't think too highly of Microsoft. Even the strongest competitor will make mistakes. "
Based on the current situation, Vista was still the same as in his previous life.
In his previous life, he had slowed down the speed of the system by god knows how much.
This was also the reason why many people in his previous life would use the word 'slow' instead of 'amazing' when talking about Vista.
"Fourthly, we have made a lot of optimizations and updates in the integrated application, such as our built-in calendar module, new photo collection program, new Media Play … and so on. If the user needs it, we can create any application program needed in the system. "
Steve's fourth point about integrated applications confirmed Li Kaifu's guess.
In the future, Microsoft might change its sales method from one-time payment to annual payment.
But Microsoft should not be so fast now. They still need to see how the market responds.
This new model would not only bring huge profits to Microsoft, but it would also pose a huge challenge to other application manufacturers.
Think about it.
Vista had already done all kinds of applications. Why would he need another company?
I wonder how Google will react after seeing this?
I wonder how other anti-virus software manufacturers will react after seeing this?
There's also IBM, Oracle, etc …
With this thought, Chen Yu was thinking about when to discuss with other major companies to give Microsoft a beating.
"Fifthly, compared to XP or Windows, Vista is a completely remade system. Our code has increased from the original 30 million lines of Windows to the current 50 million lines. At the same time, Vista also brings a strong experience. For gamers, we have specially provided 3D window display technology for gamers. In the future, when we play large-scale 3D online games, we only need to open a small window … "
As for the fifth point, although it seemed powerful, the premise was that your computer must be powerful enough.
In other words …
Your hardware must meet Vista's requirements.
If not, sorry, you won't be able to experience this feature.
Not only will you not experience it, but there will also be all kinds of unexpected consequences.
"OK, it's over."
After two hours, Microsoft's press conference ended.
Steve said that in a week's time, Vista Enterprise and Home versions would be released worldwide.
Chen Yu stretched.
After two hours of press conference, Chen Yu was a little tired.
From Steve's introduction, Vista was indeed an excellent operating system.
It might change people's impression of Windows.
But this was only from the introduction.
Whether the public would accept it or not was still unknown.
However, the public's expectations of Vista were different from Chen Yu's.
After Bill and Steve's introduction, Vista was considered to be the most perfect operating system.
Many experts even commented that Vista had successfully changed Microsoft's impression of Windows. In the past, Windows was unsafe and inefficient. It had no advantages other than monopolizing the market. But with the introduction of Vista, it would let people know a different Microsoft. Not only did it greatly improve the user's operation, but it also improved the performance of the entire system.
It was also because of all these positive comments that Vista received unprecedented feedback from consumers.
On the first day of the press conference, Microsoft received 700,000 orders.
On the official release day, Microsoft Vista received 3 million orders.
Moreover, corporate users accounted for more than 40% of all orders.
"Steve, well done."
"Bill, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, our pre-sales volume would have dropped by half."
"No, no, no, this is the result of the hard work of you and all the Microsoft employees."
Bill and Steve were very satisfied with such beautiful pre-sales figures.
After all, they had already made preparations for the early sales of Vista.
As for the reason …
That was because the XP system was too deeply rooted in people's minds. Although Vista was good, it was difficult for people to switch operating systems at once.
But unexpectedly, Vista's outstanding performance made consumers buy it and try it out.
"But Bill, after the official release, our sales figures might drop slightly."
"That's normal. If we want the public to install Vista, we need the feedback from the first batch of Vista users. But Steve, for our XP system, you have to make a timetable for the shutdown of the service so that consumers can be prepared. "
"Of course."
Steve nodded.
With the launch of the new Vista system, the old operating system would naturally be eliminated.
However, as the global monopoly of operating systems, Microsoft could not eliminate the other Windows products immediately.
Although they could not eliminate the old Windows products, the old Windows products would affect the sales of the new system.
Therefore, at this time, Microsoft would take a more powerful measure, and that was to suspend the service of the old operating system.
Once suspended, you would have to change the operating system even if you didn't want to.
