However, Jiang Feng soon got the latest information, and it turned out that Bill Gates's complaint about piracy was related to the investigation results of the Microsoft monopoly case announced by California, the European Union, Japan and South Korea.

On August 27, 2oo4, the governments of several cities in California, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, jointly filed a lawsuit against Microsoft, accusing it of abusing its monopoly position in the field of personal computer operating systems and setting unreasonable prices for goods.

One of the plaintiffs' lawyers, Denis Erreira, said: "This is a predatory act that hinders normal competition and harms the legitimate interests of consumers and taxpayers. We must find a suitable solution through legal means. Microsoft spokeswoman Stacy Drack said the company has not conducted a thorough study of the case. But she also emphasized: "We cherish our relationships with cities and have always provided our customers with great software at very competitive prices." ”

On December 7, 2oo4, the South Korean government's antitrust investigation of Microsoft has finally settled, and the Korea Fair Trade Commission (FTC) announced the final results of the investigation today, judging that Microsoft's business practices in South Korea violated the Fair Trade Act and related regulations, and imposed a fine of $320,000 on it requiring Microsoft to launch two versions of Indos for the Korean market within 18O days, one of which must remove the first AP1AYER and live chat software, Another version of Indos can be bundled with the aforementioned software, but must provide a link to a web page to download the competitor's software. The FTC's judgment is valid for 1O years, and after the first 5 years, Microsoft can apply for an annual review of the judgment in response to changes in market conditions.

On December 22, 204, the European Court of Justice ordered Microsoft to immediately implement the antitrust penalties imposed by the European Commission in March and change its business model. Strip the media player software bundled in the Windows operating system and open up some of the software's source code to competitors.

Also on December 22, 2004, Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) investigators met with Microsoft lawyers on Monday to take the opportunity to further clarify the attitude towards Microsoft's licensing practices in Japan. In July 2oo4, Microsoft was accused of violating Japanese antitrust law by alleging that some of its licensing agreements with Japanese PC sellers violated Japanese antitrust laws, and Microsoft allegedly forced PC sellers to accept mandatory terms that required them to guarantee that they would not take Microsoft to court. In fact, Microsoft's technology is very similar to that developed by some Japanese companies.

At this time, Bill Gates's intention to make accusations against the Jiang Group is worth scrutinizing.

It should be said. Bill Gates may have the intention of solving the problem of piracy in the Chinese market, but at present, it is not realistic, and his more intention is to interfere with the vision and prove his non-monopoly position.

If someone else pirates your software and creates a monopoly in the market. So who should be held accountable?

If we must say that pirated users have their own substantive justice, it is legally blind thinking, because we know that Microsoft must have the right to legally describe pirated users as thieves, but if it must be said that pirated users should be fundamentally eradicated, it is not a rational attitude, because after all, it is this group that has helped Microsoft occupy the huge terminal market and squeeze out other operating systems. It has formed a dominant market position. Now that the conspiracy has been completed, it has openly demanded a price from the market and demanded that pirate users pay all the tuition fees, and Microsoft seems to be more like a robber with a legitimate program.

In principle. Jiang Feng is against piracy, because it not only harms the interests of countless original software creators, but also harms the entire computer industry.

Once everyone refuses to provide services because they don't get something in return, the entire software industry suffers a catastrophe. And the entire computer industry will collapse because of this, which will affect the entire social exhibition.

But Jiang Feng also disagrees with Microsoft's approach. Because if Microsoft's price strategy is implemented, the domestic computer industry will not have a day when it will not be developed at all.

For a long time, Microsoft has been implementing a global unified pricing strategy, the normal price of indosxp is about 199 US dollars, but the average monthly salary of Americans is 3,000 US dollars and the average monthly salary of Chinese is only more than 100 US dollars, ordinary Chinese users who are willing to buy a software with a month's salary?

In fact, the domestic price of INDOSXP is 1998 yuan, which is higher than the foreign price, which can be said to be a discriminatory price.

In other words, Microsoft thinks that not many Chinese users will buy the genuine version, so it simply formulates a high-price strategy. Or rather, the reason why Microsoft is doing this is to restrict the exhibition of China's computer industry.

For Chinese users, if there is a reasonable price relative to the income level, who wants to be the thief that Gates said? Microsoft is also very aware of and trying to address this conflict, such as giving away or promoting to schools and government agencies in some areas, which has already benefited some students and institutions.

Six years ago, Microsoft made an open compromise with the tens of thousands of pirated systems used by the Sriwijaya government, charging a symbolic fee of one dollar per pirated system, and at the same time promising that the other party would not use pirated software in the future, and Microsoft would treat them as legitimate users. Afterwards, Sriwijaya Information Minister also said that Microsoft's move was realistic, and due to economic factors, they could not force us countries in the exhibition to use only genuine software.

Overall, Jiang Feng is still very unhappy that Jiang's Electronics is involved in this kind of pirated software dispute, at least he thinks that if Microsoft wants to point fingers at his company, he still needs to come up with some real evidence, after all, his company's computers are all using pre-installed genuine operating systems, as for the end users, do they have the obligation to urge them to buy a software that is in fact in an industry monopoly position?

Of course, Jiang's Electronics tries its best to install the indos operating system on the computers it sells, which is also related to the fact that Jiang's Group is opening its own new operating system.

Although the operating system is a large system project, it is not difficult for Jiang Feng, because among the many materials in the Lingxi Ring, there is a computer operating system, and even. There are also operating systems that are encoded entirely in Chinese characters. However, Jiang Feng did not plan to launch such a system that was too advanced, firstly, because it is completely different from people's thinking habits now, and even if it is launched, it will be sold at most in China, and there is basically no market abroad. If you want to enter the global market, you still have to use English codes.

The desktop operating system that Jiangfeng plans to launch in the Jiang Group is not too much ahead of this era, which is completely unnecessary. He took out the kernel program of the operating system. Roughly fifteen years ahead of the times, it is based on the kernel of the Linux system.

The Lynux kernel has long been opened, and Lynux is open source, so system enthusiasts all over the world can study it at any time. Nowadays, different operating systems based on the structure of the LINUX core have emerged in countries around the world. Most of these computers use Lenux cores for their operating systems.

It is precisely because the Lenux kernel is an open source program that hackers and programmers from all over the world are full of infinite interest in the Lenux kernel. And because of this. Operating systems based on the Lenux kernel can be widely developed under pressure from Microsoft. These systems range from server systems to desktop systems. Until later generations, many mobile phones and tablets used the Linux operating system.

Even the INDOS series, which dominates the world, is helpless about it.

Although open source has spread to the world, it is also because of the open source that all countries want to build an operating system based on the kernel of Linux. However, not every country has the capability to build a Lenux operating system. Later generations in a series of Linux operating system versions. Because of such and such problems, it cannot be promoted. Even in China, the Linux operating system has been studied.

Like the Kirin operating system of later generations, the Hongqi operating system of previous years. Can be the object of the Red Flag Study. It is also a server system and is not levied on individual users. Although the desktop version was later launched by Lenux, which had some entertainment, many entertainment features were still not available. It hasn't been circulated. Therefore, the desktop-level operating system has always been dominated by Microsoft's indos.

It turns out that the purpose of service is to large enterprises. can't compete with hundreds of millions of users around the world. Of course, it is also safer to serve large enterprises, at least some companies will buy the operating system when I prescribe it, especially in countries that are supported by the government. And the desktop operating system that serves individual users, even if you open the operating system, you still have a promotion problem, you can't force individuals to use your system.

Now what Jiang's Group wants to create is the Lenux desktop operating system that is mainly for individual users. It's not right to say that it is the Linux operating system, although this operating system is based on Linux, but after adding too many innovative ideas, it has completely lost the original Linux and has become a new operating system.

However, the system is so big, naturally it is not Jiang Feng who can complete it alone, he just took out the kernel of the system, and the rest is handed over to the huge army of programmers of Jiang's Information Technology Company to complete.

Fortunately, since the beginning of the new century, China's computer major has always been a popular major, and a large number of applicants have applied for the examination, thus cultivating a large number of computer professionals, which has provided Jiang's information technology company with a huge talent pool. Otherwise, even with the financial resources of the Jiang Group, it would be difficult to come up with such a plan for an operating system. After all, no matter how good your idea is, no matter how good your plan is, if no one implements it, it will be in vain.

However, even so, Jiang's information technology company wants to launch its own operating system, and it will not be able to complete it in one or two years. Before this, Jiang Feng did not announce to the outside world that he had a plan to enter the field of personal computer desktop operating systems, because last year, the subsidiaries of the Jiang Group launched a variety of new products, and now the Jiang Group is already a big move, if you let everyone know that the Jiang Group has a plan to enter the desktop operating system, it is easy to attract hatred.
