368: Let Weiruan vomit blood with black technology!

Thinking about the situation he was about to face, President Bill Gates of Microsoft Company furrowed his brows, feeling a considerable headache.

However, President Bill Gates of Microsoft Company only had a headache for a moment before his brows relaxed, because he discovered a fatal flaw in the Dawn Computer Operating System.

As for what this fatal flaw was?

This fatal flaw was that the Dawn Computer Operating System could not play games and run software from the Microsoft Operating System!

After all, why could the Microsoft Operating System monopolize the Global operating system market, with its market share consistently above 90%?

The fundamental reason was its decades-long accumulation of a software and game ecosystem, and the rich, irresistible number of games and software!

"CS1.6," "Half-Life 2," "The Sims," "StarCraft," "Resident Evil Series," "Red Alert Series," "Warcraft Series," "Civilization Series," "Assassin's Creed Series," "Spore," "SimCity Series"...

"The Legend of Mir," "World of Warcraft," "Lineage II," "adventure island," "Fantasy Westward Journey," "JX Online," "Magic Baby," "A Chinese Odyssey"...

"WPS Office Suite," "Office Suite," "Foobar2000," "Storm Codec," "FlashGet," "Thunder," "Sogou Input Method"...

There were too many games and software on the Microsoft Operating System. Whether it was single-player games, online games, or software, each one was a profound accumulation of the Microsoft Operating System!

After decades of accumulation, the number of software and games on the Microsoft Operating System was simply countless.

Under such circumstances, how could the Dawn Computer Operating System compare? So Bill Gates only had a headache for a moment before his brows relaxed again.

This software and game ecosystem accumulated over decades gave Bill Gates profound confidence!

However, was Microsoft Company's monopoly on the game software ecosystem truly unbreakable? Lin Chen indicated that Bill Gates was about to spit blood in anger.

Lin Chen, on the stage, after introducing the computer advertisements, quickly announced the next core selling point of the Dawn Computer Operating System:

"Alright, the five advertising slots for the Dawn Computer Operating System have been introduced. I believe everyone has a certain understanding of these five advertising slots.

Next, let me introduce the second core selling point of our Dawn Computer Operating System."

Upon hearing this, the people present looked at Lin Chen with curiosity, wondering what this second core selling point was.

"Our second core selling point is a program, and we call this program the Dawn Universal Interface Program!"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, the people present were bewildered, not knowing what this so-called Dawn Universal Interface Program actually was.

However, at this moment, Bill Gates, who was in the VIP section, instantly changed his expression, revealing deep unease in his eyes.

Because as a programmer, and a genius programmer at that, he had a bad premonition when he heard the term "shuguang universal interface."

In response, Lin Chen's lips curved into a faint smile.

In his previous life, the Linux Operating System had a software called Wine. From its name, one naturally couldn't tell what this software was.

But in reality, this was a software program that Microsoft Company greatly disliked, even wishing they could eliminate the team that developed it.

Why did this software called Wine make Microsoft Company so disgusted? The reason was that it could translate Windows API calls into dynamic POSIX calls.

This meant that with it, one could directly open games and software from the Microsoft Operating System, instead of imitating internal Windows logic through virtual machines or emulators as before, and then running games and software from the Microsoft Operating System.

On the surface, the results of these three methods were the same; they could all allow the Linux Operating System to open games and software from the Microsoft Operating System. But why did this Wine software make Microsoft Company so disgusted?

The reason was that previous virtual machines or emulators imitated internal Windows logic.

It was equivalent to first building a simulated Microsoft System, and then running games and software within the simulated Microsoft System. Under such circumstances, there would naturally be unavoidable and significant performance waste.

Moreover, this form also led to extremely severe memory consumption, as building and continuously running a simulated Microsoft System would certainly require vast hardware resources.

Furthermore, using an emulator or virtual machine was simply too troublesome, not to mention that each restart required starting over. In such a situation, it was better to simply use the Microsoft Operating System honestly.

Therefore, virtual machines and emulators running Microsoft games and software could not pose any threat to Microsoft System's monopolistic position.

Because of this, although Microsoft Company was wary of the Linux Operating System, it did not consider it a mortal enemy.

But everything changed after the Wine software was released. Since the Wine software directly called and interfaced with the API of software and games, there was no trouble of using an emulator or virtual machine.

And the best part was that because it wasn't in the form of a virtual machine or emulator, but directly translated Windows API calls into dynamic POSIX calls, the performance loss was not significant and completely acceptable.

Because of this, Microsoft Company was quite disgusted with this Wine software, and consequently, their level of attention to the Linux Operating System also increased by several orders of magnitude.

The Dawn Universal Interface Program developed by Shuguang Technology at this time was also a similar program, but this program was different from the previous life.

Firstly, the structural principle was different. In the previous life, Wine software was an API interface translation software.

However, Shuguang Technology's Dawn Universal Interface Program was a program software used in conjunction with the Dawn Compiler, adding support for a multi-system Dawn Compiler.

In addition, there was a difference in the development degree. In the previous life, because Wine software was open-source software and developers could not profit from it, there were not many developers, and the effort and completeness were naturally not high.

This ultimately led to the software being quite cumbersome to operate and not very user-friendly, somewhat leaning towards being suitable for experienced users or programmers who understood a bit about computer operations.

Therefore, this software was not really suitable for ordinary computer novices. For computer novices, they would only click icons on the desktop and then open programs.

If you asked them to first run the Wine software, and then open numerous folders from within the Wine software to find the executable program, this cumbersome operation would naturally leave them bewildered.

So, the Wine software in the previous life was quite user-unfriendly, cumbersome to operate, and its development progress was also quite slow.

After all, there was no money, and it relied entirely on passion and hobbies. How many enthusiasts were there, and how could the development progress be fast?

Under such circumstances, although the Wine software in the previous life could open many games and software from Microsoft Company, it could not maintain full compatibility with all Microsoft games and software.

Especially for newly released games and software, compatibility was quite poor. Even if they could be opened and played smoothly, they would occasionally quit the game or software for no reason.

Under such circumstances, many people naturally found it quite a headache, and eventually gave up on the Wine software, treating it only as a toy and not truly considering it an important tool.

However, this life was naturally different. Shuguang Technology placed a high degree of importance on this Dawn Universal Interface Program.

The daily development and testing personnel for this Dawn Universal Interface Program alone exceeded 1,000 people!
