Coquettish Rebirth

()Microsoft and their Venus Project adjustments have basically been completed. After Jia Hongjian negotiated with Microsoft, Microsoft has been making detailed adjustments. Although they have created the windowsce1.0 system themselves, this system is temporarily No one has adopted it yet. After all, there are very few mobile devices in this era. The only one that can use the embedded system of windowsce is a handheld computer called "Newton", which is a kind of smart phone and ipad The predecessor of the PDA, but this Newton handheld computer is Apple's!Will Apple use Microsoft's system?Obviously impossible!

And another portable system that may use the windowsce system, that is, the so-called palm is also a pda.But this pda uses its own cao operating system, palmos, so they will definitely not use Microsoft's system, unless Microsoft buys their company.Ever since, it can be said that Microsoft's wince can be said to have only Huaxia Hi-Tech as a user in this era!Under such circumstances, can they not follow the requirements of their only and largest customer?You must know that if this change is successful, it will not be able to handle a market of hundreds of millions!For these markets, Microsoft must also have no airs! ..

Here Bill Gates personally instructs the following team to improve Wince, and their goal is also very clear, that is, to modify 100% of the hardware and software function assumptions set by Huaxia Hi-Tech.For example, Jia Hongjian said that there should be a "minimized" background operation function, which Wince had never considered before.That kind of watching a CD and seeing half of it.To switch to the Internet, or to go to the movies halfway through the Internet, you must use the background function of the computer, that is to say, to keep the program running in the background with a near minimum consumption even if it is suspended, that is the same. It works, because if it doesn't run, then this "feature" is turned off.

You must know that Microsoft's radio screen for this operating system will show various prices and so on.Such a small built-in cao operating system.It is naturally impossible to have any background function to keep the software running.So these ce systems must be changed!But fortunately.Microsoft didn't think that wince 1.0 would be a hit, so they themselves had already prepared various modifications.

After this kind of modification, this wince can be said to have become a completely different thing from the previous Microsoft design. The earliest wince1.0.In fact, the core is completely different.The wince kernel is actually a system redeveloped with a win95api.This system itself has been considered to be developed into several different versions, for example, if it is used in supermarkets.It is naturally impossible to say that it is the same as the system used on the pda?After all, for purely commercial stuff, the required functions are very simple and do not require too many functions.The memory and cpu are relatively low-end, so it is naturally required that the system cannot eat too much memory.But relatively speaking, pda is a bit higher, and can take up more memory and cpu computing resources, because this kind of pda is used as a "personal notebook" abroad, and it is required to input various data and query Category.

Even Bill Gates has great ambitions. He not only thought of this kind of mobile terminal, but also thought of the so-called autopc!What is autopc?That is the digitally controlled machine tools of the CNC machine tools that have appeared in Hong Kong in recent years. Before cutting things, they need to be programmed!So, can the bottom layer of this programming be made into a cao operating system?It can be said that the current ambition of Bill Gates is simply bursting!With the marketing of win95 in the world, he is not only thinking about letting Windows occupy the entire PC personal computer, nor just occupying some laptops, but he wants to enter all other industries and let his Microsoft be the bottom layer of all digital services supplier!Whether it is the commercial fast-moving consumer goods industry, personal portable digital recording equipment, or the underlying operating system of CNC machine tools in industrial and mining enterprises, they all have to enter Microsoft!

And here, they Microsoft is still working with Jia Hongjian's Huaxia Hi-Tech to jointly carry out the Venus Project. What they are doing is to invade the underlying operating system of entertainment products and invade the Chinese market through a so-called "cheap pc" project. market!Then take China as the center to invade and occupy the third world countries, and finally besiege the second and first world!Wait, why didn't Microsoft go to Japan instead of Europe, but why did it come to China?Why doesn't the US even go to their US own market?

This question is very simple, that is because the Chinese market is now the most advanced and digital player market in the world!You must know that although VCD was invented abroad in this era, considering that it is too easy to be pirated, Europe and the United States basically did not implement this model, and they basically still use video tapes in these three places!Historically, these three places have directly skipped the VCD era from the video tape era and entered the DVD era!

In this era when video recorders continue to be used, video recorders competed in format in the 80s, and the development of video recorders that began to be sold in the 80s was earlier, and it is even more impossible to be a digital bottom-level control!Could it be that Microsoft built an operating system into a purely mechanically controlled video recorder?This is obviously impossible!So Microsoft searched and found the Chinese market.In the Chinese market, VCDs should have been popular in history, but in this era, due to the influence of Jia Hongjian, they have become cvds, that is, a kind of stuff transcribed on CD discs in the format of dvd, such video or audio The definition and capacity are better than vd, which is a digital bottom layer, with various decoding chips and even cpu and other things. It can even be said to be a little different. This cvd machine is an ultra-simple version dedicated to playing videos. computer!Such a simple version of the computer, of course, can be added to various low-level operating systems!In the Chinese market in this era, it can be said that it may be because of Jia Hongjian's deliberate indulgence of piracy, which led to the great popularity of cvd machines, and the result of the popularization made China the first market in the world to popularize digital entertainment systems.

So under such a situation, it is understandable for Microsoft to choose China as a breakthrough point.And at the same time, there is another reason, that is, there is a lack of giants in China's current market!Although Huaxia Hi-Tech seems to have the potential of a giant, Huaxia Hi-Tech obviously has no ambition to dominate the living room, nor does it have the ambition to rely on the cao operating system, so this is why Microsoft chose China and Huaxia Hi-Tech.

If digital broadcasting becomes popular in Japan, what will happen if Microsoft enters the Japanese market?Why Sony, Panasonic, and Sharp will watch Microsoft enter their territory?joke!Isn't Microsoft just a software cow?Their Sony Panasonic and the like are all hardware bullies. Although the software is not good, but finding someone to develop their own embedded cao operating system to compete with Microsoft, is there a problem?You must know that Japan has a closed tradition. They were originally unwilling to accept foreign gadgets. When PCs gradually became popular abroad in the 80s, Japan also specially made a PC format of its own, specially drawing A circle separates oneself from the outside world!If Microsoft wants to enter Japan, at least in this era, Sony and other manufacturers in Japan will definitely team up with Microsoft!

But it is different in China. In China, no one will team up with Microsoft, and everyone is even happy to cooperate with Microsoft. Moreover, there is no large-scale digital entertainment equipment that popularizes the ao operating system in this country. Isn't it crazy to sell entry-level PCs?It doesn't even need to be much, if you sell a few million copies, Microsoft will make a lot of money!After all, this is creating a market out of thin air!

Bill Gates and the entire Microsoft company attached great importance to this project, so after modifying the ce system in a few months, they led the team to take the newly completed internal test version of the system When they came to China, they wanted to bake the system software to the hardware to see how it works.To put it bluntly, this is coming to the closed beta!

Jia Hongjian greeted Bill Gates at the airport, and the two sides had a cordial and friendly conversation after the meeting.On the commercial vehicle driving to the city center, Jia and Bill had an in-depth conversation. After learning that Bill had completely modified the system for Huaxia Hi-Tech, they also learned that Microsoft itself had several After different versions of the ce system, Jia suddenly thought of something, "Have you considered modular design? That is to say, you have structured the entire system into the lowest mode, but you can add modules to it. Of course, you must reserve a good interface, and then prepare Good variety of software and functions with different extended functions. In this way, when different merchants in an industry approach you to buy CE, you can customize completely different and personalized CE systems for them. How good is that?”

What Jia Hongjian said was just casually, because the wince of the later generations seems to have this function. Jia Hongjian, regardless of whether the other party has thought of this in this age, directly said what the other party's later generations did. Brush favorability.But it really caught him, Bill Gates was stunned at this time, he suddenly felt as if he had never thought of this aspect!And according to what Jia Hongjian said, it seems that this aspect can indeed be done, and it is indeed very promising!

All of a sudden, this student Bill remembered that he once wanted to recruit Jia Hongjian to be a product manager of Microsoft, and now he wants to do it even more!Look at this Jia Hongjian, it's just a simple conversation, a chat, he can suddenly think of such an interesting and promising design, isn't this the world's number one product manager, or something?
