Chapter 615 Hit the South Wall

For how to deal with opponents, Microsoft has already formed a complete set of routines. When facing companies that are far inferior to Microsoft, such as Netscape, Microsoft will strike hard and beat the opponent to death without any skills.

As for Sun, which is so difficult to deal with, and Java is a method that can threaten Microsoft, then Microsoft will boil the frog in warm water, first slowly dismantle Java, and then deal with Sun.

Listening to what Bill Gates said, Myhrvold knew that Bill Gates had made up his mind, but he still couldn't help but said, "If Microsoft messes with Java, then McNeely will definitely be dissatisfied and initiate a lawsuit against Microsoft." litigation……"

Microsoft has already suffered a loss. The lawsuit against Netscape is not over yet. Many states in America still want to dismantle Microsoft. At this time, it is inevitable to fight with McNealy again. Another lawsuit , Even if he is in charge of technology, Myhrvold can't help but sweat.

"SUN is different from Netscape," Bill Gates said calmly, "The war with Netscape is for Microsoft to get the ticket to enter the Internet industry, and SUN, with Java, can threaten Microsoft's system." , Microsoft must do it!"

Before Microsoft obtained the Java license from McNealy, it originally wanted to reconcile with McNealy and prevent SUN from forming an alliance with Netscape to jointly deal with Microsoft.

Judging from the current situation, Microsoft's move is based on retreat, and the effect is achieved. Netscape has been wiped out by Microsoft, but who knows, Java has swept the entire software industry like a spark.

Now countless software engineers all over the world are using Java to develop software, which makes Bill Gates start to worry. If this continues, will Microsoft be controlled by that old boy McNeely using Java!

Act first, Bill Gates will not allow McNeely and SUN to do it first, but let Microsoft do it first, remove Java from the Microsoft system bit by bit, and then launch a new programming language , to replace Java, there will be plenty of opportunities to clean up that guy McNeely.

It is true that Microsoft is a bit bloated now, with more than [-] employees, and internal factions and the like. The friction between local American companies and overseas companies has also become fierce, but the symbol of Microsoft, the founder Bill Gates He is still in office, he has not stepped back, and the entire Microsoft can carry out his orders without compromise.

After Bill Gates retires, there may be a lot of moths in Microsoft, and internal executives will start to show their means, but now, these problems will not appear.

After Microsoft was ready to start, it immediately updated a lot of software. Although the system was not updated, a batch of software was quietly updated. These software are all written in Java, and Microsoft added some materials to them. Use, but on Apple, SUN system, Linux, UNIX and other systems, there are crashes, exits, crashes and other situations.

These methods are quietly forcing users to use software on the Microsoft platform to prevent users from losing, and also give those developers a warning to let them know how to choose!

When the time is right, Microsoft will update the system once, completely kick out Sun, and not install Java software on the system, and everything will be a matter of course...

In San Francisco, McNealy, who didn't feel that he had become a prey, just finished a speech with great interest. In front of such engineers from all over the world, he made a big splash, as if he was a leader in the American software industry. style.

The father of Java is Gosling, but it was McNealy who promoted Java to the world. He made Netscape, Microsoft, Oracle, Yahoo, Symbian, etc. all use this language.

"System engineers from Microsoft, Apple, Linux, UNIX, and Symbian, chip engineers from Intel, Texas Instruments, and PA Semiconductor, and PC engineers from HP, Dell, and DEC are all working for us!"

McNealy, who came down from the stage, pointed to the crowd of people in the audience, and proudly turned to a group of senior executives of SUN, including Chief Technology Officer Bill Joy, Vice President Eric Schmidt, Chief Operating Officer of SUN Josenna Schwart and others said inside.

At this Java Worldwide Developers Conference, McNeely was sought after by the crowd, and SUN Corporation was about to reach its peak. The popularity of the Internet made SUN workstations and servers explode, and its revenue exceeded 70 billion dollars in just half a year this year. Annual revenue is expected to exceed $160 billion.

Java is sought after by engineers all over the world, SUN workstations are sold by Internet manufacturers all over the world, and McNeely has also become a leader in the technology industry. At this moment, he is already at the pinnacle of his life!

If it is said that before Bill Gates and Microsoft sued for peace, SUN’s reputation reached the peak of the industry, and now Java is the sword in McNealy’s hands, allowing him to cut down any opponent. This is Mike The most glorious moment of Neely's career, if he said that his position in the industry temporarily overwhelmed Bill Gates, everyone would believe it!

Bill Joy, Schmidt and others looked at McNealy with concerns on their faces, but they dared not say it clearly. McNealy's personality is domineering and aggressive. He wants to become No. 1 in the technology industry. It is clear that it is hard to do it now, and it is not easy for them to spoil McNealy's interest.

"You still have to be careful with Microsoft. I heard that Microsoft has never been very peaceful. Some software developers who cooperate with us said that Microsoft is debugging a new programming language..."

Schmidt reminded his boss that Schmidt was promoted by McNealy, and all the way from the head of the department to the vice president of SUN was inseparable from McNealy's promotion.

For Schmidt's reminder, McNealy waved his hand indifferently. He didn't despise Microsoft, but felt that Microsoft would not dare to find fault in such an inconspicuous way.

"Without using Java, Microsoft wants the world to abandon it?!"

McNealy pointed to a large group of people outside the venue, and laughed at Schmidt and others. He said that he didn't think Microsoft would dare to offend the entire software development industry and kick Java away, not to mention that Microsoft is now Also involved in lawsuits.

Seeing McNealy's attitude, Schmidt, Bill Joy and others were a little silent, but they dared not say anything more. This is McNealy's character, which is extremely aggressive. He dares to talk to anyone, whether it is IBM, Microsoft or Hewlett-Packard, etc. are all open.

But sometimes, McNealy is extremely stubborn. He knows that with the rise of personal computers, the demand for workstation computers has begun to decrease, but McNealy looks down on personal computers.

McNealy firmly denied that the SUN workstation is a personal computer, because the SUN studio station is much more expensive than a personal computer, and its performance is much more powerful. One cost tens of thousands of dollars. IBM, Hewlett-Packard, including Apple, The personal computers he sells are nothing more than "exquisite toys" in his eyes.

So seeing HP, IBM and other manufacturers, PC sales soared, SUN was still indifferent. Knowing that IBM was building an open source system Linux, installed on PCs, and robbed SUN of the low-end workstation market, McNealy was still I dismissed it, thinking that users would never use those things produced by IBM.

At this time, as long as SUN opens its own workstation system, there is no such thing as a Linux system at all, but McNealy still does nothing. change your mind...

New York is much more lively than San Jose. Jenny is running around with the crew of "The Matrix" to announce that The Matrix has become the box office champion of this summer, and the box office in America has already exceeded [-] million US dollars.

Now the outside world has raised the global box office estimate of The Matrix to [-] million US dollars, and there are endless praises for Song Yang and Western Films.

The major theaters have already started to promote "The Matrix 2" in advance. If it wasn't for the Matrix trilogy, they would have been filmed together. With the current popularity of The Matrix, all major Hollywood movie stars are willing to join the crew.

The box office hits the box office, and the leading actors are completely popular, and the Wachowski brothers have also jumped into the ranks of Hollywood directors. As long as the second and third movies are also big sellers, the entire Matrix crew is basically sure. I have established myself in the arena of Hollywood, as long as I don't risk my life in the follow-up and the box office of participating in the show is not too bad, it is not difficult to hang out in Hollywood.

And Will Smith, who rejected The Matrix before, and others were in embarrassment at this time. The "bullet time" that Will Smith couldn't understand was blown away by fans around the world during this period, and hackers Various analyzes in the empire emerge in endlessly every day, and the word "classic" has begun to appear in the matrix.

And Time Warner executives who missed the "Matrix" script are a bit sad at this time. The script was originally in their hands, but it was cut off by Western Pictures. Warner's side is getting more and more uncomfortable.

In New York, news from all walks of life will gather here. News from the Internet, telecommunications, and other industries emerge in endlessly every day.

ICQ's road show also started in New York, and it was in full swing. Although the issue price was high, the hard publicity of Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and Deutsche Bank made the stocks issued by ICQ still in short supply. Major institutions, foundations, etc. , are snatching up the 3000 million shares issued by ICQ!
Song Yang met a special person at America Telecom's headquarters in New York.
