Rebirth 98, the rise starts from ripping off Microsoft

Ginny clicked on the boss's mailbox while imagining the wonderful life after catching a rich husband.

Her immediate boss, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, is currently at the height of his power, so he receives a large number of emails every day.

In these emails, some people want to teach Bill Gates, the world's richest man, how to make money step by step.

Some life experiences are more tortuous than Tang Monk's Journey to the West, with all kinds of misfortunes, and it is obvious that he wants to beg to join Microsoft.

Some people have astonishing academic qualifications and even founded an Internet company. Unfortunately, their funds have been cut short and they are half-dead, so they come to ask Microsoft's father to invest money to survive.

Some are purely advertising and selling some random stuff.

All in all, out of a thousand emails, not many are really useful.

And Ginny's job is to sort out the really useful emails from the garbage mountain and send them to Bill Gates.

Ginny held her pointed chin, dragged the mouse with her white palms, stared at the screen listlessly, and continued her boring work.

After reading one letter, I confirmed it was junk and discarded it.

After reading another one, it’s still junk, so I continue to delete it.

The monotonous work wore away her little patience and made her feel boring.

Suddenly, she saw an email, and the expression on her face changed slightly.

The title of the email showed that it was sent from a faraway eastern country, a land known as the Internet Desert!

Is Xia Guo connected to the Internet?

In Ginny's perception, the Xia Kingdom is still a barbaric land, and the people living in the Xia Kingdom, even if they are not in a primitive society where they eat hair and drink blood, are definitely far away from modern civilized life.

Now there is actually a person from Xia who wants to talk to his boss via email?

This is really a scorpion pulling daddy, a rare and strange thing!

Ginny couldn't help but cheer up, and she opened this "unusual" email with great interest.

The content of the email is very short, only one sentence.

"There is a fatal vulnerability in Windows 98. I have now helped to fix it. Please pay the service fee as soon as possible."

After reading it, Ginny couldn't help but laugh out loud, and sneered at the above words, full of disdain in her heart: Today's liars are really whimsical.

She admitted that she did not expect that Xia Country actually had access to the Internet, but she doubted that with Xia Country's economic level, could the people living there afford computers?

As for Xia Guoren, can he understand the system code and help patch Windows 98?

How can this be!

Whoever dares to say such words will probably make God laugh!

Ginny directly regarded this as a scam email and planned to delete it.

However, when she put the mouse on the upper right corner of the web page, she was surprised to find that the web page could not be closed!

"What's going on? Is the computer stuck?"

Ginny didn't panic at first, but whispered something under her breath.

Windows98 is the first operating system that breaks through the DOS concept and enters a 32-bit environment. It is understandable that it occasionally freezes.

After waiting for a while, Ginny tried it again, but found that it still didn't work!

"What's going on? Has the computer crashed?"

Ginny pressed the shutdown button.

However, the computer screen does not move at all!

Unable to shut down!?

Ginny panicked a little.

"Is the computer infected?"

Ginny looked at the power strip, wondering whether to unplug it directly.

These days, the integration of computer software and hardware is not very good, especially the memory function of the hard disk. Direct hot-swapping may cause irreversible damage to the computer.

However, Ginny pressed the shutdown button several times in succession, but the computer did not respond at all!

The only way is probably to unplug the power supply.

However, after Ginny unplugged the computer and restarted it, she was horrified to find that the screen was still filled with pop-up email webpages and was still inoperable!

What kind of virus can’t be solved even by turning the computer on and off?

There was no other way, so Ginny had to call the technical department for help.

the other side.

In the CEO's office, Bill Gates looked serious, and sitting opposite him was his old partner Allen, the second in charge of Microsoft.

Both of them were in a bad mood, and they talked solemnly about the antitrust lawsuit caused by the ban on Netscape.

The U.S. Department of Justice has always wanted to break up Microsoft. In addition to the high-sounding reason of "antitrust," there is also the reason why its old employer IBM is secretly trying to break up Microsoft.

Speaking of the grievances and grievances between IBM and Microsoft, it is really endless to talk about for three days and three nights. From falling in love to killing each other, the two sides have almost gone through most of the history of computer development.

Allen, whose hairline has been rising due to worrying about the company's affairs, is looking worried at the moment: "I think we should give up the ban on Netscape now, otherwise the situation will be very detrimental to us."

Bill Gates remained silent about his friend's words.

"Bill, you know, whether it's the Department of Justice, IBM, or some traditional financial capital forces, they are full of hostility and covetousness towards us. They are all waiting for us to make mistakes. As long as we make a wrong decision, they will be brutal.

Like sharks, they swarm in on the smell of blood, eat our flesh and drink our blood.”

However, Gates, who looks quiet and elegant on the outside, like an older homebody, is actually an extremely powerful person on the inside.

After listening to Allen's words, Bill Gates' eyes were contemptuous and his tone was cold: "You want to destroy Microsoft? Don't even think about it! There is no need to pay attention to the Department of Justice, they are just a bunch of clowns. As for Netscape, it must continue to be blocked. There is no way.

After discussion, this matter is related to Microsoft's future strategic layout in the Internet, and we must not give in even half a step."

Bill Gates insists on blocking Netscape. On the one hand, he cannot tolerate Netscape's growth through browsers, which will affect the promotion of Internet Explorer and make profits that should belong to Microsoft.

On the other hand, this is also to scare the monkeys.

After all, Netscape is actually trying to get involved in the field of operating software. This is Gates's opposite. Whoever touches it will die.

At this moment, Ginny walked in with her waist twisting and her butt rising and falling.

Bill Gates doesn't like to be interrupted by another person when he is talking to someone. Even with a straight face, his tone is even more unkind: "What's the matter?"

Ginny gasped and replied timidly: "Boss, my computer has a virus."

Such a reason made Bill Gates very dissatisfied: "Just such a trivial matter? Wouldn't you go to the technology department?"

Seeing Bill Gates getting angry, Ginny felt extremely aggrieved: "Boss, I looked for it, but the technical department said they couldn't handle it."

"What? Even the technical department can't handle it?"

It was only then that Bill Gates's expression changed.

The entire Windows system is written by the technical department, and they know every line of code in it.

There is actually a computer virus that the technical department cannot handle?

Bill Gates thinks it's ridiculous.

This is like a carpenter who came to Lu Ban with an ax to show off his skills and tortured Lu Ban into a dog. This is simply outrageous!

After getting angry, Bill Gates became interested in the identity of the initiator.

He is a technology geek himself, and he typed out Microsoft's initial code letter by letter in his garage.

Therefore, Bill Gates has always believed that he is the person who knows the computer operating system best in the world.

Now someone actually downloaded an unsolvable virus into his system!

It has to be said that the other party is quite capable and more courageous.

"How did your computer get infected?"

Bill Gates asked about the details with great interest.
