Although Wanhu's visual operating system appeared earlier, it is not that easy to go public outside of China.

Although Microsoft's graphics operating system is still open, they have registered a lot of related patents.

If Wanhu's graphics operating system is sold in North America's major countries and regions, those areas that can afford computers, you must apply to Microsoft for their patent authorization.

However, as a company that mainly focuses on software business and a company that lives on operating systems and office suits, even if they allow tens of thousands of households to enter their core fields, tens of thousands of households will basically not accept the conditions they will offer.

Of course, if you don’t get a patent license, there is still a way to publish your own operating system.

The easiest and easiest way is of course to bypass their patent barriers and start from places they have not blocked.

In the end, we have completely obtained the independent issuance of the graphics operating system, and no one's patent rights infringement, and it is the patent that has been issued to Microsoft that prevents them from publishing their operating system, so we choose cross-authorization. It is a solution.

Of course, you can also directly seize their patent loopholes and go to court to sue, with the claim to invalidate their patents.

However, this method not only costs money to find those hateful lawyers, but also wastes time.

The key is that even if Microsoft's patent is indeed problematic, Microsoft can spend money and spend money on it until its opponent goes bankrupt or its own product is released.

At present, Wanhu is trying both methods.

However, no one is easy to get through. After all, Wanhu is a new player in this game, and Microsoft has already played this game very well.

Even, the promotion of legislation made Congress discuss and modify the content on patent rights. Things that were previously considered non-entity could not be patented. Things like software codes, but after the promotion of legislation, the core codes of Microsoft's operating systems and office suites were already protected by patents.

In terms of patent protection, their operating system appearance design also has many patents.

These principles are like the "right-angle rectangular" appearance patents that Apple later made, and are very annoying.

Wanhu can only try to modify its operating system without annoying Microsoft and avoid all pitfalls.

However, no one expected the opportunity to appear so quickly.

Not long after 1993, American companies sued Microsoft, saying that Microsoft's operating system and office software violated antitrust laws.

If the court ruled that Microsoft violated antitrust laws, Microsoft would be forcibly split. Like Rockefeller's oil company and AT&T.

The easiest way to avoid violating the Anti-Monopoly Law is to support an opponent.

This is like why Intel even chose to lend a helping hand to AMD when it was the most difficult time, providing low-interest loans to AMD and financing to help them overcome the difficulties.

Because AMD fell, Intel will suffer a bigger blow due to antitrust laws.

Intel helps AMD is helping itself.

Even if AMD loses hope and wants to die, Intel will bring it back and tell him to live strong.

Compared with Apple, its old rival, Wanhu, a third-world national enterprise, looks less aggressive.

So, the various barriers that thousands of households have worked hard to bypass can easily bypass.

However, Microsoft also has conditions for giving ladders.

The condition is that Microsoft did not sell three operating systems, so that only tens of thousands of households could sell one.

After a long discussion, the decision-making level of Wanhu believed that although this regulation was very strict, it would be better to enter the US market now.

So, Wanhu sent someone to sign the agreement, and Wanhu's graphics operating system finally entered the United States.

Selling operating systems and any software is actually similar to that of electronic games.

Development costs are relatively small, and the costs of advertising and storage media are the big ones.

Microsoft's operating system is basically priced at around 300 US dollars. Of course, some branded computers have built-in operating systems when they are sold.

While Wanhu was discussing built-in matters with manufacturers, he tried to enter the consumer's vision at a low price of 66.6 US dollars.

You know, 66.6 dollars is actually the price of the most expensive video game cartridge of this era.

There are not many games that can be sold at this price. They are basically the latest masterpieces of the "Super Mario Bros." series, and the masters of various manufacturers have high cost productions to sell this amount of money.

You know, this purchasing power of nearly 67 US dollars was not comparable to that of the time and in the future.

Just like buying a top-end computer in the 1990s and buying a top-end computer in thirty years later, it also costs tens of thousands of yuan and tens of thousands of yuan.

But in that era, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands could buy a house in the core urban area of ​​Beijing.

The computer I bought later may even be the same as the size of the place occupied by the computer desk.

As for why Microsoft's operating system can sell for $300, Microsoft's office suite can sell for $99.99.

It is because people have different attitudes towards entertainment products and things that can make money.

How much money has been spent on Microsoft, whether it is a business or an individual, I feel that I can make it back.

After buying electronic games and playing them, unless you sell them to a second-hand store to get some blood, you will basically not see the possibility of making a profit.

What?

You said that if you buy a game and practice hard, you can earn a prize if you win the competition championship?

First of all, not every video game will hold a competition. And there may not be any competition.

It is not appropriate to compare things with things with very small probability to a high probability.

Could it be that if a homeless man picked up 100 million US dollars in a trash can and became a billionaire, he could become a beggar and become a billionaire?

Of course it's not the same thing.

The visual operating system that Wanhu is released for $66.6, and also gives Wanhu's office kit. This price may be the most expensive than the game.

But compared with Microsoft's software, it's so cheap that I have no friends.

However, even if the price is so low, there are still not many people who choose to buy 10,000 operating systems and office suites.

Because Wanhu's software format and program format are completely incompatible with Microsoft's system. Even some of the games released by Wanhu themselves cannot run on Wanhu's visual operating system, which is embarrassing.
