2534【INTERPLAY】
The new version of the genius operating system has improved a lot compared to before in terms of hardware support.
Hardware drivers were originally the weakness of the genius operating system. Because among the global computer chip manufacturers, Intel and Microsoft are strategic alliances, called in-tel.
Intel's chips are affordable to be the number one in the world, and arm's chips are half a generation different than Intel. Therefore, in the high-end market, Intel's chips have the highest market share, reaching more than 80%. In comparison, arm's chips are mainly based on their price advantages and are more popular in the mid- and low-end markets.
Because Intel is almost invincible in chips, nearly 70% of the global computer hardware manufacturers are following Intel. Their motherboards, chips, sound cards, network cards, external devices and other drivers naturally prefer Intel.
This makes Microsoft's indos much better in hardware support than the genius operating system.
Of course, the genius operating system has the highest support for Bainaohui computer launched by Tianxia Technology, and even indos can't catch up.
The reason why the driver support of the new version of genius operating system has improved is mainly because the genius operating system has launched the multimedia programming interface of unit.
Before this, there was a lack of communication platform between major software manufacturers and major hardware manufacturers. After a certain software was installed, different drivers were installed according to the different hardware to achieve perfect operation.
Of course, because Bainaohui's computer configuration is fixed, the programs developed for it will not have such problems. However, for the assembly machine, this problem is difficult to avoid.
Assembly machines are the strategic location for operating systems to seize. Because from the prospects of computer development, the assembly machine market will become increasingly larger in the future.
In the 1990s, when people were still lacking in computer knowledge and computers were more prone to failure, purchasing branded machines was the choice of most users. Although branded machines were more expensive, they were more popular with users because they were introduced before buying and after-sales guaranteed.
With the continuous popularity of computers, people's understanding of computers is getting deeper and deeper, and the quality of computers is gradually improving. In this case, purchasing assembled machines has become the choice of more and more people.
In fact, as far as Xia Tian knows, in the past life, except for institutions, most people purchased computers by purchasing assembly machines.
It can be said that the future assembly machine market will be the blue ocean of competition for operating systems.
...
The most troublesome thing about assembling the machine is installing the driver.
Because each hardware is assembled by itself and there is no driver CD provided by the brand, users need to find the driver one by one, which is naturally extremely troublesome.
With the unit multimedia programming interface, hardware providers can produce hardware based on the unit interface, and software providers can also develop software based on the unit interface.
In this way, software vendors no longer have to deliberately develop drivers based on different hardware brands, saving them time, energy and money.
The hardware launched by hardware vendors, because it adopts the unit programming interface, no longer makes users look for drivers, and naturally sales are also increased.
The unit multimedia programming interface is convenient for hardware providers and software providers, and more convenient for users, so it is naturally very popular. The new version of the genius operating system that integrates the unit multimedia programming interface naturally increases the market share.
...
It is worth mentioning that the unit multimedia programming interface is not the first programming interface in the world. In September last year, the indos system launched its own programming interface - directx. However, the first version of directx is not recognized by software manufacturers and hardware manufacturers, so it is not successful.
But unit is different. Once it was launched, it was immediately welcomed.
Yize Tianxia Technology itself produces hardware and has excellent hardware development experience, so it supports the unit interface very well.
Microsoft itself is just a software company, and its influence on hardware vendors is not as great as Tianxia Technology. Therefore, it is not as labor-saving as Tianxia Technology's promotion unit.
Erzetianxia Technology itself is also a very outstanding software vendor. In addition to the system software developed by Genius Laboratory, well-known game manufacturers such as ea, Ximu, and Square are all controlled by Tianxia Group.
The games they developed are also preferred to be released on the genius operating system. Because of these games, many players are willing to use the genius operating system.
Under such a virtuous cycle, there are naturally more and more users who install the genius operating system.
...
After seeing this situation, Microsoft also seized the time to promote directx to win the support of hardware manufacturers.
At the same time, Microsoft also noticed that games are attractive to ordinary computer users, so it began to seek support from game manufacturers like summer.
Faced with this situation, Xia Tian immediately joined the battle for game manufacturers.
He knew that for ordinary users, the biggest use of buying computers is not learning, not office, but for entertainment. Especially games, it is the greatest motivation for people to buy.
When I was in school in summer, everyone in the same dormitory called home and asked for money to buy a computer, and they all swear that they bought it to study. But after I bought it, all of them installed games without exception.
A good game can sell millions or tens of millions of dollars, such as Blizzard's "Starcraft", "Warcraft", EA's "The Sims", R-Star's "Grand Theft Speed", etc.
In order to play games smoothly, many people are willing to spend money to upgrade their computers, or install dual systems on their computers to be more compatible with old games from more than ten years ago.
Therefore, games can promote computer sales, and games are also very helpful for promotion systems. Especially the platform-exclusive games will make players reinstall the system on their own computers without hesitation.
It is worth mentioning that the genius operating system can be ported to Intel's x86 platform. Because the genius operating system was originally written for the x86 platform, it was later ported to the arm platform.
However, the indos system does not support the arm platform. Therefore, it was later that a large number of x86 machines were installed with dual systems. However, it was difficult to see indos on the arm platform.
In the battle between game manufacturers, Microsoft took the lead and took down Bullfrog Studio.
In the 1990s, Bullfrog Studio's status in the computer game industry was no less than that of Blizzard. Its production of "Theme Hospital", "God is Crazy", "Dungeon Guardian", etc. are all amazing, and both sales and reputation are very good.
Summer bought the Interplay Game Company. The most famous games in this company are the "Bad Gate" series, the "Fallout" series, etc., which can be regarded as the pinnacle of American RPG games.
