Chapter 433, NT Project Inspection

It’s better to act than to be moved. Since Gates has already gone to Jiangnan seven times, he didn’t go south to California to chat with him, Alice was naturally happy to start her final inspection tour immediately. Of course, the first stop was to go north to the outer border. He didn’t fly directly to Seattle and then take a bus to Microsoft headquarters.

Except for the fact that he had been here when he went public, Alice hadn't been here for a long time. The small satellite city with a population of less than 50,000 is green, but both world-class companies have settled here. They have come and go many times but have never been to the Nintendo American branch, which is almost opposite. Alice is really an incompetent teenager in the 1980s.

After a period of development, the scale of Microsoft's headquarters building has naturally increased. Like most companies, especially companies in the IT industry, no one has the intention to build a skyscraper. Three or two three- and four-story buildings are nestled at the foot of the green mountains, and they are all in the shape of four-corner darts. Even the parking lot is layered along the hillside. Gates' ability to design his future luxury houses was initially highlighted at this time.

But thinking about his current research on design, I think it was because he wanted to build an excellent house that he was willing to put down his programming books and take a look at other things?

Alice laughed silently.

"Gentlemen!" Stepping into the office of the NT project R&D group that occupied a building, Gates shouted: "Let's see who is here?"

What a spacious office, with more than dozens of employees looking around. When they saw the girl appearing behind the big boss, many people immediately became happy.

"Hey look, isn't that Alice?"

"Who Alice? What Alice? Ah Le? The one who has been sending you emails to the team leader?"

"Oh Boss, why did you pull Alice to us now? Are you accepting the results?"

"Alice~ I've read the Los Angeles Daily. You want to build a skyscraper of 1,700 feet!?"

"Five 28 meters, but I'm planning to change it to 6 32 meters, thank you." There are also measurement standards with the United States as the main and metric system as the auxiliary. It is obvious that the British man doesn't use it themselves, but he still plays double standards here, and some people are drunk.

The next time is indeed a time for condolences and inspections. After all, many things cannot be solved by email. On weekdays, the project leader and Gates and others are responsible. Now most of the system is completed. She, the technical consultant, has the reason why she is not on the stage yet.

It is worth mentioning that unlike Pixar, Google and even Facebook, Microsoft's office environment is also like the Win series products, and is a relatively rigid form.

Looking at this office of hundreds of square meters, although the wallpaper decoration and lighting are excellent, as far as the work of the employees are concerned, they are just long tables arranged side by side. Especially now, the hardware dealers have not yet made LCD LED displays. Such a bunch of pure screens placing on the table is really a feeling of causing trouble.

"Very good, very good." On a computer specially provided for Alice, a diligent new employee loaded the beta nt system for her to experience.

"The operation of all systems is normal, with permissions, then account control, and of course the storage mode... Yes, yes, these are all good."

Then for half an hour, Alice checked the completeness of all related functions. During this period, Gates and the task manager supplemented her. A desk and a computer, two men and one woman gathered here, and she didn't move the place for a long time. The other employees saw it and remembered it deeply in their hearts.

"God, it turns out that's Alice King." Gary Aucma said excitedly: "I only saw her in the newspaper before. I heard that two days ago, she seemed to have been involved in a shooting in Los Angeles?"

"It should be said that it was an attempted X-X and a shooting case." Another colleague, Brown Delamo, said in admiration: "It's so amazing. She's just a girl and a programmer. She can actually chase the crazy man with a gun for a mile away! I think even if she doesn't want to develop in Silicon Valley one day, there will be gold medals at the Olympics."

"And have you noticed it?" At this time, one-third of the people still have the heart to work, it's not bad: "She has such a rich life on weekdays and can always reply to the group leaders with quality and quantity. God, it has troubled our seventh and nine people for three days. She actually solved it in just one night, and it still has the same number of four, twelve and eighth groups!"

"How come someone doesn't work every day and can still rely on technology to occupy more than 30% of our Microsoft shares." The team leader said, looking envious: "She spends a few hours in the evening to send three or four emails, which is equivalent to the workload of dozens of people in our teams for more than a day. If this big guy doesn't give 30% of the shares, would he have to wait for her to open a second Microsoft to kill us?"

Thinking about it, the newbies couldn't help but tremble. The emails for a few hours were so efficient. If she was really sitting in front of the computer and typing codes for eight hours a day, whether she was starting a company herself or making products for Microsoft, at least hundreds of employees would be unemployed, right?

You know, even when she came to find a cooperation with the 10 system, many of the current employees have not joined Microsoft yet, but the working hours of a week have been reported by Times and other publications. Furthermore, when Alice handed over the finished product of win30 every minute and seconds...

No matter when she started to develop it on her own, the fact that Gates got the result in just two weeks after he finished speaking was also in front of everyone.

It was such a super genius who finally came to the NT R&D team to inspect the work. How could this group of elites who graduated from Caltech and MIT calm down? After all, few of them were newborn calfs who were not afraid of tigers.

So soon, Alice Wang, the second largest shareholder of the company and the general technical consultant, was ready to speak after experiencing the beta version.

The huge office, hundreds of employees in six or seven rows of office seats, and the same number of members on the second floor, the entire NT project team had 200 people, all of whom were crowded to the first floor.

"In terms of function, you have done a very good job." She said this. The boss always likes to play with the meaning of the words. There are so many listeners, and there are people who have to figure out their will word by word.

"All the functions I listed in the General Outline have been successfully realized after the unremitting efforts of all our personnel."

"User account settings, workgroup energy supply, rights and permissions, I believe that as ibm continues to work hard to popularize personal computers, our energy supply developed for the server field will also be transplanted to ordinary home computers. So, comrades, we must be clear about what this Windowsnt means to the company."

These are clichés, and those employees who are easy to understand the leader's will have noticed it. Although Alice has said a lot, it is basically the existing concepts that have gradually penetrated into the entire company during normal work. Can such a talented girl speak these boring things when she speaks?

"So, we Microsoft are also facing a challenge."

Sure enough, the boss's words were just connotation, and some employees couldn't help but smile proudly. As for Alice, she took a stack of documents from Gates.

What is that?

Many people can't help but look at it.

"Look," Alice said, relaxing her hands.

There was a clamor, and dozens of pieces of paper were scattered on the ground, and each page was densely filled with things.

Everyone felt that the atmosphere was not good and closed their mouths wisely.

"The above is the complaint records of users about our products after the 30 system was released."

She said calmly: "And what you should note is that these records have no complaints about system stability, and they are all complaining about the defects of their internal application software. For example, this one," she picked up the high heels and a piece of paper returned to her hand lightly: "It's just that I'm dissatisfied with the intermittent collapse of Word, Bill, which building is the Office group?"

Gates whispered to her, that was not something that everyone on the scene could hear.

"Then there are about twice as many stacks, forgive Bill for not bringing them." Alice continued: "It's a complaint about the 20 system, and half of the thickness in that stack is a complaint about the ease of use and stability of the system itself."

These words vaguely brought the entire company, and the old employees of the NT group present immediately noticed the smell.

The Windows 10 and 30 systems written by Alice themselves have no complaints about the system, but have been complaining about the application software portable by other employees. As for the 20 system, everyone knows that it is a "crystal of wisdom for all Microsoft employees" and is also the one that has been criticized the worst among the three current products.

Everyone wisely chose to remain silent and listen carefully to the boss's speech.

"The lessons from the past are here. The company's current products have a very big loophole, that is, there are too many loopholes." After a change of the topic, the following words were drawn from the previous text. Alice continued: "So, I don't want our products that work together with our No. 200 employees, and there will be the same problem."

As she said that, she patted the computer and said, "As early as the beginning of the project, the company positioned it as a long-term project. A year and a half are nothing. The beta version is right, then continue to test it. Beta20 and 30 are also created. The server-oriented platform needs the most is stability. Next, I will ask Howard to assign tasks to you. In the entire and half a year cycle, you will be responsible for reducing those damn redundant codes!"
