   Chapter 615 Hit the South Wall

   For how to deal with opponents, Microsoft has long formed a complete set of routines. In the face of companies that are far inferior to Microsoft, like Netscape, then Microsoft will strike hard, without any skills, directly beat the opponent to death.

   As for the troublesome Sun company, there is also the Java method, which can threaten Microsoft's company, then Microsoft will boil the frog with warm water, first slowly dismantle Java, and then deal with Sun company.

Myhrvold listened to Bill Gates' words and knew that Bill Gates had made up his mind, but he couldn't help but say, "If Microsoft manipulates Java, McNealy's side will definitely be dissatisfied and launch a campaign against Microsoft. litigation…"

Microsoft has already suffered a loss, and the Netscape lawsuit is still not over. Many states in America still want to tear down Microsoft. At this time, I am afraid that it will inevitably be another lawsuit with McNealy. , Even if it 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 Microsoft's ticket to enter the Internet industry, and Sun, with Java, can threaten Microsoft's system. , Microsoft must do it!"

   Previously, Microsoft obtained the Java license from McNealy, originally just wanting to reconcile with McNealy and prevent Sun from forming an alliance with Netscape to deal with Microsoft together.

  From the current point of view, Microsoft’s move is to retreat, and the effect is achieved. Netscape has been put down 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 goes on, Microsoft will be manipulated by the old boy McNealy for using Java!

Start first, Bill Gates will not allow McNealy and SUN to do it first, but let Microsoft do it first, tearing Java out of the Microsoft system bit by bit, and then launching a new programming language , to replace Java, and then there is a chance to clean up the McNealy guy.

Microsoft is a bit bloated now, it has more than 100,000 employees, and there are internal factions and the like. The friction between local companies in America and overseas companies has also become fierce, but Microsoft is a symbol, founder Bill Gates Still in place, he did not retreat, and the entire Microsoft could carry out his orders without compromise.

   After Bill Gates retires, there may be a lot of moths at Microsoft, and internal executives will start to show their means, but now, none of these problems will appear.

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

   These methods are quietly forcing users to use the software on the Microsoft platform to prevent users from losing, and by the way, 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 SUN away, and don’t install Java software on the system, everything will come naturally…

In San Francisco, McNealy, who did not feel that he had become a prey, just finished a speech with great interest. In front of this kind of engineers from all over the world, he showed a lot of limelight, and he was a leader in the American software industry. style.

  Gosling is the father of Java, 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, Symbian, chip engineers from Intel, Texas Instruments, PA Semiconductor, and PC engineers from HP, Dell, and DEC are all working for us!"

McNealy, who came off the stage, pointed to the crowded scene, and proudly greeted a group of SUN executives, including Chief Technology Officer Bill Joy, Vice President Eric Schmidt, SUN Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Schwart et al.

At this Java Global Developers Conference, McNealy was sought after by many people, and SUN company was about to reach its peak. The popularity of the Internet made SUN workstations and servers sell out. This year's revenue exceeded 7 billion US dollars in just half a year. Full-year revenue is expected to exceed $16 billion.

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

If before, let Bill Gates and Microsoft make peace, and let SUN's reputation reach the top of the industry, then Java is now the sword in McNealy's hands, allowing him to slay any opponent. This is Mike The most glorious moment of Neely's career, saying that his position in the industry temporarily overwhelmed Bill Gates, some people will believe it!

Bill Joy, Schmidt and others looked at McNealy with some worry on their faces, but they dared not say clearly that McNealy was domineering and aggressive, and he wanted to be the number one person in the technology industry. Clearly, it's hard to do now, and it's not easy for them to discourage McNealy.

   "Still be careful with Microsoft. I heard that Microsoft has not been very safe. Some software developers who cooperated with us said that Microsoft is debugging a new programming language..."

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

   For Schmidt's reminder, McNealy waved his hand indifferently. He didn't despise Microsoft, but felt that Microsoft shouldn't dare to find fault with such a blind eye.

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

McNealy pointed to a large group of people outside the venue, and laughed at Schmidt and the others. He didn't think Microsoft would dare to take the risk of the world, offend the entire software development industry, and dare to kick Java away, not to mention Microsoft's current Also mired in lawsuits.

Seeing McNealy's attitude, Schmidt, Bill Joy and others were a little silent, but they didn't dare to say anything. This is McNealy's character. Hewlett-Packard, etc. are all open.

   But sometimes, McNealy is very stubborn, knowing that now the personal computer has risen, and the user demand for things like 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, HP, including Apple, In his eyes, the personal computers sold were nothing more than "exquisite toys".

So seeing HP, IBM and other manufacturers selling PCs soaring, SUN is still indifferent, knowing that IBM is building an open source Linux system, installing it on PCs, and robbing SUN of the low-end workstation market, but McNealy is still Disdain, think that users will not use those things produced by IBM.

At this time, as long as SUN opens its own workstation system, there is nothing to do with the Linux system at all, but McNealy still does nothing. This is McNealy's character. He will not cry without seeing the coffin. As long as SUN has not gone bankrupt, he will not. change your mind...

  New York is much more lively than San Jose, and Jenny is following the "Matrix" crew to announce that the Matrix has become the box office champion of this summer's summer season. The box office in America has already exceeded 100 million US dollars.

   Now the outside world has raised the global box office estimate of The Matrix to US$600 million, and the praise of Song Yang and Western Pictures is also endless.

  The major theater chains have already begun to build momentum for "The Matrix 2" in advance. If it wasn't for the Matrix trilogy, they were filmed together. With the current popularity of The Matrix, all major Hollywood movie stars are willing to join the crew.

The box office was a big hit, making all the leading actors a complete explosion, and the Wachowski brothers also jumped into the ranks of Hollywood's big directors. As long as the second and third films also sell well, the entire Matrix crew will basically be sure. My status in Hollywood is now. As long as I don't commit suicide in the follow-up and the box office of my participation is not too bad, it will not be difficult to hang around in Hollywood.

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

And the director of Time Warner, who missed the "Matrix" script, was a bit sad at this time. The script was originally in their hands, but it was cut off by Western Pictures. The box office of The Matrix, every dollar extra, Times The more difficult it is for Warner.

  In New York, news from all walks of life will be gathered here. News from the Internet, telecommunications and other industries are emerging every day.

ICQ's roadshow also started in New York and is in full swing. Although the issue price is high, there are several major investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and Deutsche Bank. , are all snatching the 30 million shares issued by ICQ!

  Song Yang met a special person at the New York headquarters of America Telecom.
