Chapter 254, Cameron worries about Microsoft

"I've been thinking about why you want to embed your computer monitor in the screen. After all, for the current 13 viewers, this should definitely not be what the computer should look like."

Cameron looked at the computer screen. In fact, according to the plot development, the startup program should be automatically displayed on the computer before the hibernation cabin is started. According to Cameron's idea, it is undoubtedly a very advanced approach to be able to use the hibernation cabin in a spacecraft and then automatically control the opening time with the computer program.

But Alice rejected it and instead moved the computer installed in the "iron cabinet" to the wall. Although Cameron did not care about this kind of trivial matter, he was also thinking about the reasons for this change.

Alice smiled softly: "Then you are asking me about this now, are you thinking of the reason?"

Cameron nodded, although the amplitude was very small, he undoubtedly pointed it up and down: "Classic movies should be able to transcend the times. As a science fiction movie, no matter what story it tells, if the details are really in line with the future, it will become a classic among classics. This screen..."

He pondered for a moment: "The future TV and computer monitors will definitely become thinner, right?"

Alice really started to laugh now, of course, not a laugh of ridicule at all, but an admirational smile.

As early as when she corrected Cameron's original idea, she didn't spend so much effort to explain the reason. She just simply said that it would be cooler to embed the monitor in the wall. There was no problem with this reason, so Cameron did not raise any reason to object at that time. Alice thought that this matter would just pass, but he had been thinking about it and figured out some reasons?

"As early as the time when "Terminator" was released, the industry commented that James Cameron was very interested in advanced technology and scientific frontiers, and was a supporter of typical technology for the benefit of human beings. Now it seems that it is indeed worthy of its reputation. I just said one thing at that time, and you can make such advanced inferences, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t

"Nonsense, you have only seen a lot of my skills, what is this?"

After being praised, Cameron curled his lips disdainfully and proudly held up his arms: "The monitors in the future will become thinner and thinner, but the monitors are still very bulky. They are embedded in the walls just to hide their thickness. You are just for this."

As he said that, he gently tapped the screen of the monitor: "Panas's TV... Almost from the beginning, the American electrical appliance market was suppressed by Japan and had no ability to fight back. Alice, just watch it, TVs, refrigerators, cameras, and even Nissan and Toyota are still suppressing our General Motors! These damn guys have created a lot of unemployed people in the country!"

"That... James, you knocked on this HP computer monitor, not Panasonic's TV..."

"I just knocked on it and said it, do you care?"

Cameron glared at Alice, but then he turned his eyes and said, "By the way... Alice, when will Microsoft's Windows system enter the Japanese market? Damn, just looking at these little Japanese investing in the United States, we should also make their money!"

Alice nodded and said, "Gates told me about this in July. But James, although Microsoft is already a listed company now, its main market has always been in Europe and the United States. After all, the Japanese version of the system is not so easy to develop. Are you guessing in "Volkswagen Electronics"? What did it say?"

Cameron groaned: "It is considered to be qualified to say that 20 can maintain half of the sales of 10 systems, and then it's just nonsense. I'm very disappointed with Microsoft and Gates. Some people question why you weren't responsible for development early, my dear Microsoft technical consultant."

Wow, Cameron, he looks like a resentful woman.

Alice couldn't help but feel happy, but it wasn't for her resentment. Cameron is now Microsoft's largest retail shareholder.

I have been busy recently. Alice bought this issue of "Volkswagen Electronics" once when it was released in July in Windows 20. See how industry insiders view this "clear of wisdom of all Microsoft employees".

The result was not surprising. This product based on the 10 system improvement and upgrade has no essential change. The key is that since it is completely the struggle of Gates and his employees, without Alice's intervention, the system interface is just like the original historical development, which is too close to the Apple Macintosh computer system.

You know, although Alice is a shareholder of Microsoft, she has almost been staying in Los Angeles, but she has no energy to stare at Gates' every move. In short, Jobs was kicked out of Apple in 1985, and he handed Windows 10 to Microsoft long before that. It didn't cost much money to go to Apple for a while, Gates took the time to stroll around Apple and plagiarize the Macintosh system.

Therefore, although Apple has not taken litigation action immediately, Microsoft's weak sales have caused the stock price to fall temporarily. After all, compared to the 10-year-old pioneer, this one is too imitating Macintosh. Alice has obviously tried to avoid being similar to Apple in the former, but Gates and others have still rewind the old path.

"It's hard to count on opening up the Japanese market in 20."

Alice decisively judged: "The dos system is fine. It has been many years of history, but it is dependent on ibm after all. As for the 10 system when it was released, Microsoft was not even listed companies. It would be good to buy goods in Europe. 20 is so weak now. I really wait for those young men to develop the Japanese version..."

"Haha, then 30 should come out!"

Cameron laughed and took over the conversation, but then he frowned again: "However, I haven't used the 20 system yet, is it so trash?"

Alice pouted and looked around. At this moment, the crew members saw that the director and the company boss were having a lot of fun chatting, so they were so happy to take time to rest for a while.

"It can't be said to be garbage, of course there is no problem with performance. It's just that it imitates Macintosh too seriously. On the one hand, it causes customers to be dissatisfied and thinks that Gates is suspected of cheating consumers. In addition, the performance is not much improved, so many people don't need to buy new ones. In addition, many people already have Macintosh as a substitute, so the sales volume will naturally be low."

Cameron nodded and looked around. After a few moments, he slapped his head in annoyance: "Damn it, why did I forget to bring a copy of "Volkswagen Electronics". I said, "Girl, you are a shareholder and executive of Microsoft. Has that guy Gates thought about what to do next? I have a big share of your company at hand, don't let me lose money!"

"Don't worry, man, this is a blue chip stock. Just hold it and you can make a fortune in the future."

Alice held back her laughter and patted Cameron on the shoulder and said, "The next step of planning is nothing to consider. We are in the computer industry, and updates are vitality. The 20 system will only start to be released in July, so we can't take a little longer. No matter what its specific sales volume is, we will start the development of 30."

Cameron couldn't help but not nervous. No matter how much he is the new director Wang in the film art industry, or the creator of a box office film like Terminator, a stock that brings 40 million US dollars in net worth is not a trivial matter. Microsoft's business prospects cannot help but care about it.

"Then when the development is 30, they should let you take responsibility again, right?"

So, he said with doubts: "If Microsoft's two consecutive products are going downhill, unless that kid Gates completely becomes an idiot, he will definitely try his best to change the situation, right?"

"Actually, I'm not idle in Microsoft's business."

Alice said: "After the situation in ibm, the company is vigorously developing the NT system. HR has recruited hundreds of people, and I, a technical consultant, receives emails 24/7. The Internet operating system must focus on security, which will definitely be long-term. There will be no results in less than three or two years. If Gates handed over the 30 task to me..."

She couldn't help but think about it. After all, it was September now, and it was two months since the release of 20. It won't take long, and it was indeed time for the 30 R&D team to be established. It was time to consider related issues.

So, after the crew of "Alien II" was swaying, Alice dejectedly realized that it was necessary to greatly accelerate the development of the Internet.

Well, yes, it’s not that I’m complaining that I’m busy again, but that I’m just that the 21st century hasn’t arrived soon.

You know, for the era of the Global Village, it is really 100% globalization of offices. It is not too easy to lie on the sunny beach in Miami, and then use 100mb/s to transfer the data to the laboratory in Antarctica!

Oh, by the way, if it is really an Antarctic laboratory, considering the signal coverage time, the transmission rate must be GB level, and a mere 100-megabit broadband cannot be used.

However, even if the 21st century has not arrived yet, it is still 1980s now.

After returning to Eton's campus, Alice couldn't help but feel that the school's practice of equiping each student with a single dormitory is amazing. If it were just an ordinary four-person dormitory, it would be difficult for her to start her work.
