The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 42: , To beer lids

   Gates quickly understood the whole thing.

   When receiving the express delivery this morning, as the nanny for 80% of the company's employees, and the "mother" of more than fifty programmers, Lubao routinely took care of all the trivial matters, including unpacking the express.

   It’s just that the express delivery is slightly different this time. It’s not a breakfast milk ordered on schedule, nor a bundle of toilet paper or office supplies, but a cassette.

  Anyone who knows computers knows that computer data is stored on magnetic tapes. Although as early as four years ago, two former IBM employees founded a company called Seagate, and developed a 5.25-inch 5MB hard drive, which made this kind of guy who was two refrigerators big at the beginning practical. But up to now, magnetic tape is still the mainstream storage product.

   Therefore, after Lobo realized that it was just a cassette tape, although it was surprised that it had only one cassette and was not used as a bulk purchase of office supplies, it still routinely put it together with other tapes.

It stands to reason that things shouldn’t happen too fast. After all, although this tape is now "arrived", since it is treated as an office item—someone won’t buy such items until they run out—it’s natural. Will not be used immediately.

   But it's a coincidence that it was Paul Allen himself. The computer tape he was using had a problem. In order to save time, he slipped that tape into the computer.

   Then, as one of the top programmers in the world, he was completely shocked.

   The contents of the tape were obviously encrypted, only showing Alan an executable program, and after opening it, he discovered that it was actually an operating system installation program!

   "Yes, an operating system, Bill, look at it for yourself."

  On Allen’s computer screen, the familiar, dark, white English DOS interface is not there. What you can see is an extremely beautiful colorful pattern interface. With the intuitive feeling brought by the pattern, Gates instantly understood the functions of several of the icons at a glance.

"Program Manager, Calendar, Business Card, Notepad, Terminal, Calculator, Clock, Control Panel, PIF Editor, Print Spooler, Clipboard, RAM Drive, WordPad, Drawing, Um...There are also Reversi games !?"

   is not just a novel interface, while using it, Gates has noticed that this "operating system" obviously requires the use of a mouse. It’s also because Apple’s "Lisa" launched last year is equipped with a new mouse as standard, and Microsoft, as a research on competitors' products, of course bought some, otherwise, now, I am afraid that this "operating system" will not be used!

   "This is an operating system, yes Paul, it is indeed an operating system!"

   is only an instant use, Gates immediately realized the power of this product. Just like the windows 1.0 they are working on, using GUI technology, that is, the interface of a graphical interface system, ordinary users can work part-time on the computer to a level of literal meaning.

   An icon is a function, the function name is displayed below the icon, and the icon itself can indicate its function more intuitively. It can be said that unless the user is a mentally disabled child with low IQ, anyone can use and master them as quickly as possible!

Fortunately, Gates is still a sane guy. After a moment of surprise, he immediately came back to his senses: "You just said that others have developed...windows? Isn't that our own product name? What do you mean by that? ?"

   Alan didn't speak, and first looked at his colleagues around him with a weird expression. Gates noticed everyone's strange expressions and seemed to realize something. He immediately operated the mouse unskillfully and opened the system page.

  Microsoft-Windows1.0-by-Alice-Wong

   The snow-white characters were displayed on the blue background screen. Gates blinked fiercely, his face twitching. Around him, everyone in the audience remained silent, watching the company CEO's response.

   Gates helped his glasses: "Who is this Alice-Wang? Who has heard of her?"

   "I haven't heard of it, but the other party left a letter to you in the system information... Boss. Yes, Bill, signed it specifically for you."

   It's okay, Gates quickly found the so-called letter in the computer. At this moment, this new operating system once again demonstrated its superiority. Gates just opened the notepad tentatively, and sure enough, a letter-like icon appeared in the dialog box.

   ""A Letter to Bill Gates"?"

   Seeing the file name, Gates was quite dumbfounded, which reminded him of the funny stories of his middle school years.

   When Gates was still at Lakeside Middle School, the school already had the opportunity to play computers for students. But at that time, this was definitely a niche entertainment activity, and the computer room's online fee page was not generally expensive. Even if Gates was in a good family situation, he didn't have that much money to spend on this.

   So, in order to play computer with Allen as much as possible, Gates had to do a hack personally and successfully intruded into the core part of the computer, stupefied that the user payment list was revised!

   Of course, when the school found out, he was naturally fined...

   Now that he sees the title of such a letter, he can't help but think of himself when he was young.

   Then, he started to read.

   "To the beer lid."

   Seeing the first line, Gates was a little dazed. His real name is William Henry Gates, Bill is a nickname, which many people know, so if someone calls himself by another nickname, he is not unacceptable.

   But he couldn't figure out why his name was changed to "Beer-Capsule" again. What basis did the nickname depend on?

  Let's keep watching.

   "When you read this letter, you must be shocked now. Shouldn't Microsoft-Windows 1.0 be by-Bill-Gates? Why has it become by-Alice-Wong?

Of course, it’s because the dozens of engineers at Microsoft are too stupid, too inefficient, and too low-capacity. It’s just that the group is leading the salary and not working, just waiting to go home at six o’clock to take the wife’s guard. Otaku. No, not many of you programmers have wives at all, so... ahem, okay, the topic is far off, let's get back to business. "

   In the first two natural paragraphs, Gates clearly found two vocabulary that he did not quite understand. One Otaku seems to be Japanese, and you can look it up later, but the other program-ape is really inexplicable.

   Ignore, continue to look down.

"In short, because you are too stupid, and I am too smart, so I made windows 1.0 for you. This is a trial version that you see now. It will be automatically uninstalled after 24 hours of installation. I'm sure it depends on you. At the level of these dozens of idiots, there is definitely no way to get much source code at this point.

   So, Mr. Capsule, please call my Royal-Hotline in Los Angeles. On behalf of all employees of Cisco Systems, I am willing to hold a global strategic alliance negotiation meeting with Microsoft Corporation that has a trans-epochal significance. Now pick up the phone and call the hotline to send us a beautiful gift worth 999 dollars. It’s so fast~"

   The content of the brief letter reached this position. Gates sat silly in front of the computer. For a long time, he couldn't say a word.

   "The other party shouldn't be joking."

   In the end, it was Paul Allen who broke the calm: "But the person who left the message should be of a small grade, otherwise this way of speaking should not be used. I guess it should be no more than twenty-five years old and very childish."

  A programmer said, "Paul, are you saying that there is a genius girl who is better than all of us, and one person invented an operating system, right?"

   "Yes, yeah, this is a computer operating system, and it has many functions attached to it. It is not just a single program. If there is a young man who is so good...are we really idiots?"

"No matter how genius is, there must be a limit? We Microsoft is also the top computer company in the industry. UU reading www.uukanshu.com has a problem that more than 50 engineers have not solved for several months, but it is solved by one person. Are you kidding!?"

   For a while, the whole company is boiling, how can everyone accept this situation? Moreover, the programmer didn't know what he was doing, and he actually named the system by the name of Microsoft. Is this an infringement at all?

   "Cisco Systems... a name I haven't heard of."

   Finally, Gates spoke. The moment he spoke, the audience was quiet: "Ballmer, you can check the situation of this company immediately, if you can. As for everyone's opinion..."

   A smile hung up on his lips, and Gates held down his glasses again.

"...Don’t forget, when I was thirteen years old, I was able to invade the main computer of the school with the completely self-taught Basic language. Computers have always been a field of geniuses. As long as IQ is sufficient, the science thinking is excellent, and the mathematical ability is superb. Don't say that compared to you, even if you are more powerful than me, what's wrong?"

   "I remember the call, I will call it, Alice-Wang, right? I really look forward to it."

   Looking at the white lettering on the blue screen, Gates smiled confidently, and a handsome evil seemed to emerge from him.

   In silence, Ballmer patted Alan on the shoulder.

   "Look at what he said just now, our boss is really narcissistic."

  Ellen slapped his lips.

   "Do you know?"
