Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 459: Backlash from Monopoly

After leaving Serbia, Meng Qian and his leaders did not return to China, and went to visit several surrounding European countries. Taking this opportunity, Meng Qian also made appointments with some entrepreneurs.

Recently, Dafeng Group's life in the United States has not been easy, especially Fengxin was recently brought to court by Microsoft, which made the American branch quite miserable.

So not doing something is really not in Meng Qian's character.

At the SAP headquarters in Germany, Meng Qian met Hanning Kong, the CEO of SAP at the time, and Jon, the CEO of Opera at the time. In addition, he also gathered eight business representatives, including the French Capgemini Management Consulting Company, the French Atos and other companies.

Today everyone is sitting together to talk about how to fight against the monopoly from Microsoft.

Something happened in the summer of 2006. The European Union imposed a huge fine of nearly 360 million yuan on Microsoft for violating the anti-monopoly law, and asked Microsoft to stop using monopoly to suppress opponents. It must provide complete and accurate technical information to its competitors so that Let the products of other software developers run smoothly under the Windows operating system.

Over the years, Microsoft has used monopoly to suppress opponents to the point of doing everything. It can be said that as long as it is not Microsoft's own product or the product of Microsoft's allies, you can wait for various restrictions.

And this kind of performance makes European companies very unhappy.

In addition, Microsoft has never solved the security problem that has become more and more serious, Vista has repeatedly bounced tickets, the function of the window system has been reduced, and Microsoft recently announced that it will stop supporting Windows 98 and Windows ME in Europe and force users to upgrade. It aroused strong resistance from users. In the user survey in 2006, more than 70% of European users expressed their high dissatisfaction with Microsoft.

For this reason, an anti-Microsoft wave has spread in Europe for many years. European countries including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Norway and other places have been promoting the development of Linux desktop systems in recent years. France even proposed to fully To promote the Linux desktop system, Congress must replace all Linux desktop systems in 2007 and blast out windows.

But everyone knows the future performance of the Linux desktop system. Europe really has no choice but to bow to Microsoft.

"Mr. Meng, why are Chinese users so tolerant of Microsoft?" After meeting and exchanging greetings, Jon questioned Meng Qian's soul, which made Meng Qian very embarrassed.

The Internet has indeed done various analyzes on why Huaxia has a particularly peaceful attitude in the anti-Microsoft wave that started from Europe and has extended to the world. One of the sayings with a high praise rate is: because Huaxia users are using pirated versions for free. I'm too embarrassed to say anything

So Meng Qian didn't know how to respond to Jon, so he went over vaguely and hurried to get down to business, "The things you asked me before, our company has already made an internal evaluation. Once the Kunlun system is completely open source, it will affect the stability of the system. sex and security, so we're not going to open source."

As soon as Meng Qian's voice fell, everyone's face was not good. The purpose of this meeting was for the system. In the first half of the year, the European side put forward a suggestion to let Meng Qian open source the Kunlun system, and said that once it is open source, it will definitely support Kunlun. The ecological construction of the system.

Meng Qian's response made them somewhat disappointed, but fortunately, Meng Qian immediately gave them good news, "Although our Kunlun system cannot be open-sourced, our Dafeng Group has used our Kunlun system in the past two years. Experience, has been actively participating in the Linux community to jointly create a better Linux open source desktop system, I called you here today because as far as I know this brand new Linux desktop system is coming soon.

Because of the large number of participants, this system is definitely different from the Kunlun system of our Dafeng Group, but I am still looking forward to it. "

When I first wrote the Kunlun system architecture, I almost turned Meng Qian's head into a gray hole. Meng Qian will definitely not open source the Kunlun system. The future of the Kunlun system is the best system in the world that Meng Qian wants to build.

But the Kunlun system is not aimed at the general public, so it can't really compete with Windows, so what Meng Qian has always prepared is that the Linux community can come up with a decent open source desktop system, and this system is the best to come out. The time of day is naturally the time to counter the tide.

As for why you want to promote such an open source system instead of selling the system yourself like Microsoft, as I said before, if you use the Linux architecture to make a semi-open source and semi-closed system, you can’t sell it for money. Once you sell money, the Linux community can sue you. , Meng Qian was reborn late, there was very little room for Dafeng Group to develop computer system architecture from scratch, and Microsoft's patent barriers and standard barriers were there.

Unlike chip architecture, which can break the deadlock through mobile phones, a new-age product, and later play patent crossover, there are no products in computer systems that can drive an epoch-making significance.

However, investing a lot of energy and financial resources to assist the Linux community to build a Linux desktop system is also a path that can be taken. The Kunlun system is semi-closed and stable, and this Linux desktop system is used to beat Microsoft.

What is the difference between the previous Linux desktop system? I have also said it before, so the large amount of economic and human investment of the Dafeng Group will definitely change the situation of the Linux desktop system in this life. Although there is definitely a gap compared with the Windows system, as long as The open source system is not very bad, and the ecological construction advantages of the open source system will be brought into play.

So, even if you can't defeat Microsoft, at least you can rely on this Linux system to disgust Microsoft.

From the point of view of users and enterprises, everyone is annoying Microsoft. From the point of view of the will of the upper echelon, the EU is still fantasizing about the United States, at least becoming another superpower in the world independent of the United States. This system is given to the European Union and even the whole of Europe by Meng Qian. one's gift.

At the scene, Meng Qian took out a test video about the Linux desktop system. Everyone responded well after watching it. We just waited for the Linux community to experience it after the official launch.

After talking about the system, Meng Qian has another thing to talk to them about, and that is Windows Live.

"Has everyone studied Microsoft's new strategic architecture Windows Live?"

The fastest responder was Jon, "Did Mr. Meng also find the problem?"

Meng Qian nodded, "There is no way to register a Windows Live account normally with Kunpeng browser or Opera browser."

"Not only that, but a link to download the IE browser will automatically pop up when registering for a Windows Live account."

Meng Qian nodded again, "There is also the code that Microsoft gave you in August, everyone must have found the problem, right?"

"Mr. Meng has seen it?"

"Of course, we Gale Group and so many European companies provide software services."

Jon continued to answer, "Microsoft is coping, in order to suppress things first."

"Since everyone has a consensus on this issue, then I will say it bluntly. Everyone here is a company affected by Microsoft's monopoly. In fact, many of our Chinese companies have to face all kinds of problems brought about by Microsoft's monopoly. trouble.

So I am here today not only to represent Dafeng Group, but also to represent the attitude of Huaxia enterprises. We hope to stand with European enterprises and oppose Microsoft's monopoly.

Since Microsoft still refuses to make corrections after losing the lawsuit, we will continue to sue. Microsoft wants to give itself room to adjust, so why should we really give him a chance to breathe? "

Meng Qian really spoke very bluntly. The reason why he dared to speak so bluntly is because everyone here today is Microsoft's deadly enemy, and they are all companies that have been bullied by Microsoft. Everyone is a community of interests.

And on the issue of the system, even if Microsoft is really brought down, there is no need to worry about the monopoly from the Dafeng Group, because Linux is open source, and the Dafeng Group cannot monopolize it, especially now that there is a Linux desktop system worth looking forward to. What kind of threat exists is nothing more than that the Kunlun system can drive the sales of computers, but today most of you present here are software vendors. If your computer sells well, you can sell it.

The European Union has just finished suing Microsoft. Although Microsoft is perfunctory now, it will take some time for them to sue immediately. Therefore, if Huaxia enterprises stand up and sue Microsoft at this time, they can help Europe to give Microsoft Press, everyone is naturally very happy.

And this matter is really not Meng Qian cheating Microsoft, who let you bully people everywhere with a monopoly.

Meng Qian just wanted to use his method to let Microsoft slowly feel the backlash from the monopoly.
