Chapter 80 Microsoft suddenly takes action
Ji Hong carefully inspected and learned about the company's recent progress. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and many tasks were even ahead of schedule.
Although Juaner Intelligent Technology never works overtime, the four R&D departments under the R&D center continue to use the AI capabilities provided by the company's [Artificial Intelligence Frontier Laboratory] to produce a lot of AI gadgets for the company, even if they work six or seven hours a day. , it can also far exceed the output of 996 from other companies.
This is something you can't even envy.
Ji Hong was very pleased when he looked at the energetic employees who, after work, were still concerned about the company's business and plans and were even constantly making suggestions for the company's future development.
As a result, the bonus plan in May was expanded from the game engine and development tool project team to the entire company.
……
Americen, Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
In stark contrast to the curling smart technology, there has been a bit of low pressure in the whole building for the past two days.
Satya Nadella was sitting in his office, tapping his fingers on the table, and the Chinese search engine Qianxun opened on his computer.
I also used screen translation to translate Chinese into English.
If not for anything else, it’s because he seems to be obsessed with Eastern culture recently - just like what he was searching on Baidu: What does the right eye keep twitching mean?
"The twitching of the left eye is wealth, and the twitching of the right eye is disaster." Looking at this translation, Nadella's heart twitched. Sure enough, disaster is coming!
So he quickly found a temple incense burning app recommended by NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun, and after going around a long way, he rushed in a sum of RMB and started praying...
This Chinese culture obviously has no scholars - if it were a Chinese, the painting style would look like this:
Money jumps from the left eye? Hehe, I'm going to get rich.
If the right eye jumps, bah bah bah, it’s all feudal superstition!
He and Huang Renxun are obviously not knowledgeable.
However, the disaster may be real.
Although Altmann was stimulated, the hospital's examination results showed that there was no major problem with him, and he quickly returned to work.
However, after I came back, my personality changed drastically and I stopped talking much. I just stared at development and data every day. I don’t even have to leave the office to eat, and my work efficiency has increased many times compared to before.
But Nadella always had an ominous premonition.
"Dong dong dong dong dong dong..."
Sure enough, the assistant sent over a report:
In May 2024 in China, the market share of Windows in the desktop market has dropped from 5% to .
This data looks very good. There was a whispering impact in May, so it hasn’t dropped much!
Nadella was just thinking about it when he saw the next line: Whisper system market share: .
"What's the situation? This adds up to 120%, and there are also a lot of shares of OSX and other Linux. How is this calculated?"
“Due to the emergence of the Whisper system, more and more users are installing operating systems on virtual machines, and more and more users are installing dual operating systems.
“In China, it has now become common for professionals to install two operating systems on one computer.
“Furthermore, our startup rate is not optimistic. Although the decline in installed capacity share is not obvious, that is because the whisper system has not yet exerted its power.
"That's it, there is still some moisture in the boot rate statistics, because most users still install the Whisper system on Windows using a virtual machine just like installing a software.
"Windows is turned on in their place, but the purpose of turning it on is to start the Whisper system.
"In addition, Moore Technology's graphics card shipments are also increasing month by month, and their personal work assistant...
“Not only that, although Whisper System and Moore Technology have not opened branches or sales operations outside the mainland, many speculative international businessmen are doing this.
"At present, just the products flowing into the United States and Europe through this channel have already reduced our Windows market share in the United States and Europe by 3%."
"Has even our base camp been affected?" Nadella looked very anxious and kept rubbing his eyes and forehead: "Something must be done, we can't just let them develop like this."
After thinking about it, including the suggestions given by the company's strategy, they all point to one thing: software ecology!
The Whisper system currently relies on the Linux software ecosystem, and the Linux software ecosystem itself is imperfect, so it uses Wine as a tool to install Windows software.
Windows software itself does not belong to Microsoft, but to software developers and game developers. However, to run Windows software, it is often inseparable from some necessary runtime library files.
"Update the Windows user agreement to prohibit the use of the Windows runtime library in a compatible manner, and reserve the right to pursue legal liability."
Nadella thought about it for a long time and finally made the decision. Originally, this policy was used as a trump card when a new version of Windows was released. However, the next version of Windows is still far away. If we wait any longer, our market share will be slowly eroded.
"Let's see what else they can do!" Nadella said confidently:
"The power of the Curling-Ear Intelligent Technology Whispering System is indeed unparalleled, but ecological problems cannot be solved in a day or two. Before that, if it is a dragon, I have to coil it up, and if it is a tiger, you have to lie down for me!"
Nadella was full of confidence. He had no idea what preparations Ji Hong had made, nor did he know that Juaner Intelligent Technology had not used any Windows runtime libraries from the beginning and had rewritten them all by himself.
This may not be realistic for others, but for Juaner Intelligent Technology, the system plug-in that integrates code AI, when solving the problem, it is found that there is no library file, and writing it on the spot gives the user a feeling of nothing more than a lag. It takes no effort at all.
……
"Dear user, you must agree to the new user agreement to continue."
It’s a new day. Domestic users wake up energetically and prepare for a new day’s work. When they turn on their phones, the first thing that catches their eyes is this sentence.
Most users may not care about this, let alone click on the redundant and long so-called user agreement to read word by word, and just click agree and continue.
But some people are free and read the new user agreement in full as soon as possible.
If you want to know what the differences are with the previous version, Microsoft is also very considerate and specially marks the new content in bold. The core is one sentence: "It is prohibited to use the Windows runtime library in a compatible manner and third-party systems to call Windows." Runtime library to be compatible with Windows software ecosystem."
One stone stirs up a thousand ripples, and one sentence causes a huge wave of publicity.
"Ah? Isn't the Whisper system going to be finished?" Someone knowledgeable immediately saw what Microsoft was going to do.
"What does this have to do with the Whisper system?" Not everyone understands the mechanism of Wine, let alone what compatible operation means.
As a result, the popular science party immediately mobilized: In theory, Wine does not need to use anything from Microsoft. However, Wine is not perfect when it is opened. The mainstream libraries may have been developed, but some are not commonly used, especially The libraries of professional software may not be complete. At this time, you need to use Microsoft's library.
"Isn't it clear that banning third parties from calling the Windows runtime library is targeting Whisper? Linux's Wine has been used for so many years and there has been no response from Microsoft."
"Wouldn't the Whisper system no longer work? Especially corporate users are at risk of being sued. Especially companies that deal with foreign companies a lot, the risk is greater, and they are likely to be excluded from partners. "
"Not even for individual users. How can we use infringing materials? We must be aware of copyright protection. If you rubbish your ears, you will plagiarize! Call for a boycott!"
"What the hell, you act like the Windows you are using is genuine, why are you pretending to be a gentleman here?"
"Hey, you Chinese are good at copying and even curling your ears. Our ancestors will be very angry when they know that the Book of Songs they wrote is being used like this by you!"
……
In the Science and Technology Innovation Park, at Juan'er Intelligent Technology, Ji Hongzheng accompanied Hezhou Yi - Xu Jun - to inspect the company.
"Mr. Ji, we are busy with things. I should have come here long ago." Xu Jun said:
"But it's not too late now. If you need anything from Juaner Intelligence, you can tell me directly. We exist to serve everyone.
“To be honest, I have visited quite a few companies, including those in local areas, coastal areas, and the capital area, and none of them have employees as energetic as Juer Intelligent.
"Although I don't know much about technology, I also know that only such a group of high-spirited young people can achieve results like yours..."
Xu Junzheng was praising him, but the secretary behind him gave him a look, as if something had happened. He also looked for a chance to escape for a while and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There may be trouble regarding Juan'er Intelligent Technology." The secretary whispered, "Should we leave first and let Mr. Ji handle the matter first?"
"It's very troublesome? Is there anything we can do to help?" Xu Jun asked.
"Microsoft suddenly takes action. We probably won't be able to help much. It just depends on whether Juan Er Intelligent Technology is prepared." The secretary said.
Microsoft suddenly takes action, which sounds like a big deal. Is the Big Mac crushing the smaller ones? Even though Juan'er Intelligent Technology is already very powerful, in Xu Jun's eyes, such an established technology giant is not something that Juan'er Intelligent Technology can easily handle.
When Xu Jun heard that it was a big deal, he didn't dare to waste Ji Hong's time anymore. If something went wrong because of receiving him, it would be a big problem.
"Mr. Ji, what's the problem? Why don't you go deal with it first? I just have a meeting over there. Let's make an appointment." Xu Jun came out and told Ji Hong.
When Ji Hong heard this, he knew that Xu Jun was fine. He must have known about the trouble on his side, and he smiled and said:
"It's no big deal, it's just a small problem. It may even have been dealt with now. It just so happens that we take this opportunity to take a look at our automated public opinion processing AI."
A chapter of 3K will be released first, and there will be another chapter of 3K before ten o'clock.
