Chapter 640 Jiang's in Action
In order to crack down on Microsoft and promote their Apple, Jobs quickly summoned Apple executives to discuss the crackdown on Microsoft. An hour later, Apple completed the discussion. A few days later, two advertisements suddenly appeared on TV stations across the United States.
Apple continues to use the classic advertising comparison model of "I am an Apple machine, I am a PC machine".
This Apple machine refers to Apple, PC, and represents Microsoft.
Comedian "Justin" plays the clever and stylish Apple machine, while chubby actor "Hodgman" plays the clumsy PC machine. And, this advertisement is called "The Promise Not Consigned".
The ad is as follows.
The PC computer representing Microsoft said excitedly: "Don't you know this good news yet? Vista has been launched. There is no problem with my previous operating system, believe me!"
The Apple machine, which represents Apple, replied half-believably: "How come this sounds familiar?"
Then, the advertisement began to play back every promise made by Microsoft to launch the latest operating system. For example, XP will not have any problems. And there will not be any problems with Windows 98, etc. Every time, the PC computer swears: "This time it's really different, believe me!"
Then, the advertisement continues to play. Once Microsoft's operating system is upgraded, the actors representing PCs will change their clothes and comb different hairstyles, but they are always bloated and obese. As for the actors who play Apple, every time they upgrade or update, they always maintain a youthful and fashionable outfit.
The meaning of this advertisement is too obvious. On the one hand, Apple uses language to satirize Microsoft's operating system for changing the soup without changing the ingredients, and on the other hand, it also beats the Apple computer brand. It compares Apple to the embodiment of real technology.
Apple has always been happy to do this kind of advertising that hit Microsoft and also boosts Apple's popularity.
Moreover, Apple itself is an innovation and a collection of technology. Everyone's hobbies about Apple are much more friendly to Microsoft than Microsoft. Therefore, when this advertisement came out, it immediately caused a great response across the United States. Many computer researchers have claimed that Microsoft's vista is simply a disaster for operating systems, and they have never seen such an incomplete system.
Is this how Microsoft, which has always monopolized the world, treats global consumers?
In addition, Apple also used the second advertisement to satirize Microsoft's advertising strategy and the negative impact of vista on users' minds. In this advertisement called "", pcman dressed up as a financial staff member and allocated funds to "advertising" and "fixing vista vulnerabilities", but the "advertising" funds were far more than the funds to "fix vista vulnerabilities" an asked him if he thought that the amount of funds could really fix vista vulnerabilities. After thinking for a while, pcman divided all funds into "advertising".
This kind of advertising has further hit Microsoft's image into the abyss.
Affected by this, many IT companies, under the leadership of Apple, accused Microsoft Vista of various immaturity. Some software and hardware companies publicly stated that due to the incomplete vista operating system, they did not have a software plan to develop a vista version. It is recommended that everyone continue to use xp or replace other non-Microsoft operating systems.
"Oh my God, vista is such an operating system. Fortunately, I didn't buy it."
Seeing that IT companies represented by Apple criticized Vista, many users secretly thanked that they did not buy the Vista operating system. Otherwise, not only would they spend a lot of money, but you would also become a guinea pig of the Vista operating system.
"Microsoft, it's time to wake up. Your monopoly has long deteriorated your technology. It is recommended to retract the vista operating system."
Many people believe that Microsoft's monopoly has always hindered the development and innovation of the operating system. Without Apple, Linux, and global operating systems, it might have fallen into a technological regression. Look, Microsoft's technology regression in this vista under its own monopoly.
Not to mention that this operating system is extremely expensive, he can't even compare with XP. What's the point of launching an operating system like this? Is it just to cheat money?
Many investors strongly demand that Microsoft return to rework vista, so as to save the launch of money that is unknown.
"My mama, Microsoft is simply shameless. If your operating system hadn't monopolized the world, I really wanted to delete your operating system, and I wouldn't even use xp."
Although Microsoft is very powerful, it has attracted many enemies. Not only Apple, but also like Microsoft, such as ibm, sum, Oracle, etc., are also in the same way as Microsoft. These companies are all famous technology companies. The various statements issued by these technology companies have always accused vista of various disadvantages. For a time, the name of vista was really terrible.
"It's great, it's really great."
Jiang Feng laughed loudly when he saw the research reports of major IT companies around the world on Vista.
Apple is still very awesome, at least its leadership has always existed. Although it has not made much money, its technological innovation strength has always been popular with others. Apple has used it to mock Microsoft as a great solution. In fact, in the past life, Vista’s reputation was so bad that it was not unrelated to Apple.
When vista was launched, Apple mocked Microsoft in order to maintain its operating system's advantages. In the following years, the reputation of vista's operating system was extremely bad. In the end, even if vista had fixed countless bugs, it was difficult to achieve good sales results in the market. Because, at that time, people heard the name of vista and kept saying no. Therefore, Microsoft had to adopt a skin change action and replaced the name of vista with win7.
Of course, Microsoft will not admit that win7 is vista. In their dictionary, this win7 is a brand new operating system without the task problem of the previous operating system. Really, believe me.
"Okay, OK, OK..."
Seeing that Vista’s reputation had been completely damaged by Apple, Jiang Fengda was happy. He waved his hand and said to Lu Xuedie: "Okay, it's time for our Jiang family to take action."
Of course, Jiang's Group has already taken action and successfully made the vista operating system incompatible with major software. However, no one from Jiang Feng, including Jiang's company, would admit this. For Jiang Feng, this time it was their real move.
"Notify Jiangshi Software Group, Jiangshi Information Group, and various subsidiaries of Jiangshi Network Group to launch vista's evaluation report in all aspects."
To let users know the bad things about vista in detail, the best way is to have a comprehensive systematic review. Of course, this comprehensive is not all-round. Although we will introduce some of the advantages of vista, the focus is on their shortcomings. Could it be that Jiang Feng will also say good things to vista?
Not long after, the Internet sites of many large and small subsidiaries of Jiang's Consortium launched a detailed evaluation report on vista.
In addition to briefly introducing the small advantages of Vista, this report has all its shortcomings.
The first point is anti-virus.
I have always believed that the best anti-virus in the world should belong to Jiang's anti-virus or Jiang's defenders. Even if it is not them, it should be a global anti-virus company. It should not be Microsoft. Vista, which claims to not need anti-virus software, I don't know if there is anyone who doesn't use anti-virus software to try it?
The second point is drive.
Although the vista operating system is great, providing more than 20,000 drivers and more than 10,000 upgrades, this is far from enough today when hardware products are becoming increasingly rich. Moreover, most of these drivers come from Microsoft. However, to truly realize the potential of hardware, you have to rely on the drivers of third-party manufacturers. Unfortunately, third-party manufacturers are not ready yet.
The third point is compatibility.
In fact, the vista operating system has done some work in terms of compatibility. At least, most commonly used software can still be used, but there are some problems occasionally. Unfortunately, there are still many third-party software that are still not fully compatible. Of course, it is fine if this is not compatible, but the problem is that Microsoft has always emphasized that their vista operating system is compatible with 99% of the world's software.
The fourth point is memory.
When it comes to system resource consumption, memory is the first to be affected. If you want vista to run at the same speed as XP, 2g is a must-have, and 4g is the king. Of course, 4g is better than 4g. How much memory does your computer have? Don’t tell me that it is only 256m or 512m. If that’s the case, well, don’t make the idea of vista.
The fifth point, version.
Although there are relatively few versions of vista, there are still 5. With the difference between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and the simplified versions, the differences between them are simply dazzling. I can't understand them, I don't know everyone.
The sixth point is activation.
The activation mechanism introduced by xp has become more and more serious in Vista, and even enterprise software has to be reactivated every 180 days. However, history has proven...
The seventh point is space.
Microsoft claims that it only takes about 10g of space to install vista. And they also recommend that it is best to be 15g-20g when partitioning the system. I was thinking, didn’t they say that it only costs 10g? Why do they recommend so much space? To be continued)
