Once people who don’t usually show up often, they will definitely not show their presence in vain. Alice fully proved this. After coming to Microsoft headquarters, she first inspected the entire project team and asked the person in charge Howard to strictly control the quality and conduct a complicated round of testing of the finished products of the system.

The project cycle lasted about 18 months, and was extended by at least one third by her mouth. It seemed very unkind, but after she easily identified several loopholes, she immediately became a member of the project team and shouted wise measures.

If you want to conquer an ordinary person and serve him, it is really easy to solve the problem of programmers. As long as you show your better technical level, you can do it. So after strolling around the project team, Alice came to other R&D teams without stopping and wandering around.

Today, when I learned that Allen had been taking a leave of absence for a long time because of illness, the departure of one of the heavyweight veterans naturally gave Alice more room to play. The office software team was scolded by her for a long time. The most direct reason was that the software was too large due to code redundancy, and the method of treating disobedience was simple. Alice was just a demonstration on the spot, and easily simplified the code of a certain function of the software by one third.

"Guys, please know our status." She said, although she was just directed at an office research and development team, but she knew that these words would definitely spread all over the company.

"The first computer was built in 1946. ib and Intel have only been in the history of hardware for more than ten to thirty years. Microsoft is the leader of the entire computer software industry."

"So, everyone, every product of our products is equivalent to creating history. Just like Watt's improved steam engine and Faraday invented generators, do you hope that when people evaluate Microsoft a hundred years later, they will give the conclusion that their systems always fall apart, their computers always love card machines, and their software is really bloated?"

"The level of programming is closely related to mathematical ability. Isn't it equivalent to doing various solutions such as factorization with a large number of instructions? As long as there are methods to follow, it is not a problem. No, my code will eliminate one-third of your original damn things. Print them out and study your ideas quickly!"

From arriving at the company in the morning to finally visiting all the project teams, when it is almost done, it will be dark. But the characteristic of IT company is that the commuting and getting off hours are very chaotic, and overtime is super normal, so although many people go to dinner, basically no one plans to go home immediately.

"With your reprimands today, it's probably enough for the guys to have three nights all night."

In the private conference room, Gates and Alice gathered here, and the sick Allen was not present, but the general leaders of the project team also gathered here. There are too many follow-ups to be carried out during the day, and now is the time.

"Even if they're all night, it's possible," said Howard, the head of nt. "You can find a lot of loopholes in your daily life. Haha, these are all semi-parasite boys. Don't you have to fill up enough coffee to get the problem?"

"Then let the logistics company buy more and get a few more coffee machines." Gates walked back from the window and sat on the sofa and said, "Then everyone, the theme of today's meeting, as the email on my way back, is to make some changes to the company's development policy. Because Paul is not present, I will just discuss it briefly tonight, Alice, let's talk about it."

This situation is actually equivalent to the convening of the board of directors. However, now it is only 1988. Gates’s table is not as good as a shareholder boss, but is still mainly based on company insiders. He himself, Alice and Paul Allen are equal to three mountains, firmly controlling the most core part of Microsoft.

"In fact, the truth is that it is to recognize the fundamental attributes of Microsoft." The high school girl sat imposingly, her legs wearing tight denim were also relaxedly spreading, while others had to calm down when they spoke to her.

"There are only so many computers in the world, and there are only a few operating systems. Dos is completely outdated; Unix's stability and multitasking capabilities determine that it will be mainly used in servers, databases, financial and telecommunications industries and other software development companies in the future. So what we will do the most in the future is our Windows and Apple's Macintosh."

The topic suddenly extended to this level, and everyone here couldn't help but feel nervous. It can be said that the exception is Alice, whose contribution to Microsoft is only at the level of sending emails, but when sitting in this group of employees who work from 9 to 5 every day, they have to face the entire industry day and night.

Jobs was indeed kicked out of Apple two years ago. Now Apple is indeed in a very sluggish performance. He even started to do side jobs by selling clothes, shoes, tennis rackets, and baseball caps. However, the meaning of the Macintosh computer itself is still worthy of the attention of this group of people.

"Jobs was an amazing genius. He saw the trend of personal computers becoming popular in thousands of households at the beginning, so when designing computers, he just integrated his highest pursuit of experience design. The sales of Macintosh computers are a direct proof that if that guy's perfectionism had not reached the level of obsessive-compulsive disorder, his performance at the beginning would have at least doubled."

Everyone laughed when they said this. They were all people in the circle. Moreover, Gates and Jobs had a lot of contact in private. They didn’t know the neuroticism of this big man?

For the sake of aesthetics, he planned to remove the cassette slot, and for the sake of quietness, he did not allow fans in the chassis. He even ignored the issue of cooling, and forced all modules to be arranged densely on the board like a classroom desk. It looks good enough, but it can really affect the performance and increase the price. Is there any reason?

So, let alone Gates and Alice, it’s not clear who is here, why did Jobs get kicked out of his company? With his neuroticism and awesome temper, the first thing he offended was the designer, which made everyone in the entire company unable to tolerate him. It was just a matter of time.

"Then everyone, this is directly involved in the issue of market positioning."

The familiar Apple is brought out to give them a comparison: "Dows10~30 and subsequent versions are developed for PC computers, while the NT project is for the server field. That is to say, as long as we make all these products and maintain a high market share, it is equivalent to leading the global software industry!"

"You think, no matter what software, it will be operated on the operating system platform. Now dos... well, that's ours, Unix has always focused on the niche group. Although Apple is particularly considering users, it is now in a sluggish moment. If we take advantage of the present moment to promote Microsoft's platform to the world, wouldn't the software vendors around the world have to develop products for us?"

"So further, what role will we play in the whole world after we have achieved this? In this world where computers have increasingly impacted productivity?"

A steady stream of new concepts are washing the opinions of everyone here. Of course, everyone has already had the concept of application software, but when it comes to the level of global software suppliers, how can they think so far now? You must know that the classic combination of the bundled version of the dws95 and IE browser only appeared in 1995?

"Microsoft provides the platform and some software, and then, with its market share, decides that software suppliers only provide products to Microsoft... and then the entire industry... and then the impact on the world..." So without surprise, facing this concept proposed by Alice too many years ago, Gates' eyes began to shine, and everyone around him immediately fell into an infinite world of brains.

Alice laughed silently, waiting for the group of otaku to come back to her senses.

Well, it's so normal, this kind of reflection.

After all, she has really accelerated the product release a lot, and the entire industry environment is still relatively lagging behind.

Look, although the release date of 10 has not changed much, it was still in 1985, just about twelve months in advance...

But is it that Bill and his own 20 system created just twelve months ahead of schedule?

In fact, 20 is really good. Microsoft is Microsoft after all. Word and Excel, the two important members of the office application, appeared in front of the world for the first time at this time. The historic control panel also took advantage of this to enter the historical stage, which was indeed an extraordinary achievement.

And no matter what, after the original history of the launch of it in December 1987, Microsoft also had subsequent versions of 21 and 211, which shows that everyone is really attentive. It is only because of Apple's related lawsuits and the lack of software compatibility that its sales are not ideal, but at least it has laid the foundation for the 30's debut.

But this time, it's a little bit subtle.

Because as early as 10 o'clock, Alice got out the office and control panel.

The restrictions of the times are here, what kind of flowers can Microsoft "crystals of wisdom for all employees" come from?

Therefore, the excessively poor sales have to be asked Gates to ask Alice to come out and develop 30.

Alice's efficiency is well known to the world, so 30, which should have been launched in May 1990, was directly advanced to early 1988.

Then, taking advantage of the hot sale, Gates now had the idea of ​​31 again.

Alice first threw out the things that were only available in 1990 in advance, and now she threw out the concepts that were only available in 1994 and after the great development of Silicon Valley, and also briefly described the situation after the Microsoft Empire was truly formed. This face-to-face impact cannot be blamed for everyone being trapped in the brain.

"Well, so," but we can't let the guys continue to make up for it. Alice spoke loudly and recalled their souls: "In order to occupy the market with the highest efficiency and convenience, we must ensure customer satisfaction. The program is highly redundant, the operation is too complicated, and even the blue screen is always on the fly, but it is very annoying."
