Chapter 1917： Timeless classic

The latest chapter of the strongest rebirth in life

Bill Gates said that win86 actually had a more famous name in the previous life.

win95!

Yes.

It is the first-generation operating system of the first-generation computers that enter the homes of ordinary people in China.

In the minds of young people born in the 1970s and 1980s, win95 is an eternal classic, far exceeding the future win98, win2000, winnt and so on.

That is, only winxp can be compared with it.

Ordinary young people get computers, and usually the first thing is to play games.

Games running on win95, including sand dunes, red police, fairy swordsman ... and so on, are the memories of countless generations.

Until 40 years later, there are still people playing and pondering these games.

Of course, there is also the idea and impression of "the first one is always the best", but the simple operation and smooth various experiences of win95 make the young people and children in China seem to open The new window can be used to understand the wider world.

I am afraid that this experience is only 15 years later, and the feeling of using a smartphone for the first time can be compared.

Such a wonderful feeling is definitely not just for Chinese talents.

Those young people and children in foreign countries feel the same about win95.

This unprecedented first-generation operating system can be called a smart operating system, turning a computer that could only be used by experts or adults into a toy for children. Such an exciting experience really makes them ecstatic. .

Therefore, win95 became the beginning of Microsoft's true take-off.

It was also from that era that Apple ’s operating system, which was comparable to it before it was slammed along the way, quickly occupied almost all operating systems of commercial and civilian computers, and achieved the dream of Microsoft to dominate the computer industry!

From that time on, as long as there is still a day of computers, then Microsoft must be the overlord of this industry, and there is no one.

And Apple, which was already in the air, was beaten even more miserably and almost went bankrupt.

In the second year of win95 release, they couldn't support it anymore. They asked Joe to return, and then started Joe's second and greatest miracle career.

But the greatness of Joe ’s helper is not on the computer, but on the smartphone that he once denounced as "not doing business".

On the computer's operating system, even the ultimate Apple iOS system can't beat the Microsoft system. In fact, it has no ability to challenge Microsoft's Windows system.

Apple's iOS system is always used by a small number of people.

The most popular and civilian, and the most used, is Microsoft's Windows system.

Even if there are some young people who pursue fashion, in order to look good and dazzle, in order to install and buy Apple computers, there are at least one-third people, either to make a dual system of ios and windows system, or directly All brushed, brushed into a windows system, only retaining Apple's shell and hardware performance.

Those who use the Windows system can almost never think about switching to the IOS system.

Of course, they can't switch, because ios is totally closed, not sold at all, but only used in its own product users.

From this aspect, you can see the greatness of Microsoft's Windows system, especially the system after win95.

Microsoft's Windows operating system has an even better place.

It promotes the progress of human science and technology.

The advancement of intelligent technology started with Microsoft's Windows system.

Don't think this matter is exaggerated.

The Windows system still has great requirements for the hardware facilities, mainly referring to the computer chip cpu.

The application of the Windows system on the computer directly promotes the continuous improvement of Intel on the CPU chip.

It is precisely because of the continuous efforts of the two major chip companies, Intel and amd, that the computer chips are becoming more powerful and smarter, so that they can be used in mobile phones and make mobile phones become smart phones.

It can be said that if there is no Windows system and computer, forcing the chips of the two companies to continue to progress, progress and then progress to meet people's needs, then Joe Gang even if he wants to make a smartphone, he can only fail.

You can't make a smart chip, how to make a smartphone?

Yin Jun had long discussed with Bill Gates and Paul Allen.

At present, the biggest factor restricting the development of computers is various hardware deficiencies.

For example, the most important chip CPU.

One of Intel's founders, Gordon Moore once had a very famous statement. Under the condition of unchanged prices, the performance of electronic components will double after 18-24 months.

This is the famous Moore's Law.

In general, this is not something similar to axioms and theorems, but a summary of experience, and there is no absolute relationship.

This theory was stated in a paper he published in 1965, and three years later he founded Intel, the greatest CPU company, with others.

The computer chip directly controls the operation of various programs of the computer. Microsoft's operating system is very complicated. If there is not enough CPU chip support, it will be very difficult to run, resulting in a stagnation.

This point, young people born after 90 years may not know, but if you think about the smartphone in your hand, once the brush is not smooth enough, and the video starts to freeze, it is because the CPU is not powerful enough.

Don't say that the CPU is too busy due to too many programs.

If the cpu is powerful enough, add a hundred programs, it does not matter.

This point, you can see the law of the running speed and the number of software on the computer.

In a few years, even Android phones can be as fast as Apple phones, the reason is the improvement of the chip.

Because of the emphasis on chips from the beginning, Microsoft has been in constant contact with Intel, hoping that they can come up with better chips to help the progress of computers, the most important thing is the smooth operating system.

Historically, this year, Intel will launch 386 computer chips, the full name should be 80386 series chips.

The real chip that caused the chip change was 80586, which was released in 1993, that is, the chip in the computer that was first used by the Chinese people, referred to as 586.

This 586 chip has been used in some low-end computers in China until about 2000, showing how powerful its vitality is.

But this life is different.

The launch of Microsoft allows Intel to see the opportunity for the rapid development of computers, which is also a huge opportunity for them.

Because the more computers sold, the more chips they sold, and the more money they made.

Now their amd enemy, amd, is growing in a very fast mode, so in order to further monopolize the market, Intel will inevitably need better chips to supply the market.

There was a saying in the previous life that when win95, Microsoft's technical reserve has actually completed winxp, a full 8 series of leap! !

The stuff in these labs is definitely not that I completed win95 today before developing the next generation, which is too stupid and too unrealistic.

Usually, a system needs to be repeatedly tested and upgraded to fill vulnerabilities, and then it must cooperate with basic hardware to launch the computer they use in the laboratory. Compared with the computer that people are using at the same time, the hardware is not known. How many generations ahead.

There is another point.

Microsoft is a commercial company or a company that monopolizes computer operating systems.

They certainly hope that every product can be used to its full potential, and after squeezing out every drop of value, the next generation of products will be launched.

Therefore, without very urgent needs, Microsoft will never take the initiative to quickly launch the system.

The new system represents a huge new investment. We must constantly start to upgrade the system, continue to make up for patches, and continue to do some debugging and addition of functions.

These all represent a lot of money.

At the same time, you can't give up the old system, at least you can't stop maintaining it within three to five years. Isn't that a lot of money?

The same is true of Intel.

Do you think that when 386 came out, they really didn't develop 586?

too naive!

As the most outstanding semiconductor chip company that has networked countless elites in the world, Intel has a very strong technical reserve.

Yin Jun even heard a statement that as early as the 1980s, Intel had actually started the development of nano-scale chips.

When did the nanoscale chips come out?

In December 2000, Intel announced the launch of an epoch-making nanochip. This is the first time that nanotechnology has been used in computers.

Did they develop it in more than ten years?

of course not!

It ’s just that people ’s old technology is so refreshing, why do n’t he use it for a while?

The high output, stable technology, and stable raw materials have led to a continuous decline in prices, resulting in higher profits. This is the best harvest period!

After long sowing and cultivation, who doesn't want to continue the harvest period?

This is the same as the Microsoft Windows system.

Therefore, under the constant demands of Microsoft and the constant pressure of the market, in 1983, Intel took out the 386 chip two years in advance.

In January of this year, Intel has come up with 486 chips 4 years earlier than the previous life.

It is a pity that they have clearly stated that they will not release new chips in a short time, but will only upgrade and perfect the 486 chip.

However, according to laboratory data, the 486 chip has been able to fully support the operation of the win86 system, but only in terms of fluency and some flaws.

If there are one or two minor changes and upgrades in the next six months, it should be able to meet the demand.

After all, the current computer software does not have any games over 600m in the future, nor is it a big game of a few g, and the requirements for the chip are not so high.

Most of today's computer software is still dominated by office software ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and various 5m and 10m games, with a 486 processing system, it can still handle it.

As for other hard drives, motherboards, stereos, power supplies, etc., they are also able to meet the demand because they have to change with the continuous upgrading of computers.

In this way, win86, which is win95 of the previous life, also has the basis for sale and has the prerequisites for hot.

Because of this, after discussing with Yin Jun and Paul Allen, Bill Gates decided to release the operating system for the third consecutive year, and so far, the second super-epochal upgrade is the first. The graphic display operation is shown.

In just three years, there have been two such epoch-making upgrades. For Microsoft, it is also a very important decision.

One is not good, it is easy to affect the development of Microsoft in the next five years or even ten years!

Fortunately, it was supported by Yin Jun's philosophy and the continuous development and progress of the technical department, which finally made Microsoft finally make this operating system before it went public.
