The version released by Microsoft at this time is Windows 3.1. The ugly user interface will make you wonder if this is an operating system?

Rather than saying it is a graphical interface operating system, it is better to say that it just adds a rough icon. It is still a big improvement from the real window operating system.

The macos system is completely different.

In this life, hesitant Jiang Feng acquired Apple. Under his guidance, the Macos system became more complete than in the original history. Both in terms of optimization and window operation interface, it completely surpassed Microsoft.

If we insist on comparing the interfaces, the current Macos system is just like the famous Windows It is a true operating system

“Do you plan to sell it with the computer, or do you plan to sell the operating system separately?”

After playing for a while, Jiang Feng turned to look at Jobs and asked.

Jobs said without hesitation:”Of course it is sold with a computer. All Apple computers are equipped with this new, epoch-making operating system.”

Jiang Feng was not surprised by Jobs’s answer.

In his last life, this was what Apple did.

In Jiang Feng’s view, Jobs was still lacking in structure. This person was perhaps the world’s top product designer. and developers who pursue the ultimate, but in terms of marketing, they are not as good as many marketers. The

Apple system is not sold to the outside world, it is only paired with Apple computers.

This ensures the uniqueness of Apple computers, but in Jiang Feng’s view, Completely handing over the operating system to Microsoft is equivalent to handing over the dominance of the PC Internet to Microsoft. I won’t say it until I have this opportunity, but now that I have this opportunity, Jiang Feng must not let Apple go the same way.

“Mr. Jobs, I admire your pursuit of the ultimate product, but in terms of marketing, my suggestion is to separate the MacOS operating system and establish Apple Computer Systems Company, which will become an independent subsidiary of Apple.”

“In addition, for this excellent operating system, my suggestion is to put it on public sale. Regardless of whether it is an Apple computer or not, as long as you purchase this operating system, you can enjoy this epoch-making, ultimate-experience graphical desktop operating system.”

“In this way, it can not only defeat its competitor Microsoft, but also gain extra huge income for the company by selling operating systems.”

“What do you think of my proposal?”

Jiang Feng took a sip of the boiled water brought by Jobs’s secretary, and then looked at Jobs with a smile.

At this time,

Jiang Feng believed that it was the best time, an opportunity to strangle Microsoft in its infancy.

Now, the world Computer users are budding, and the United States itself only has hundreds of thousands of users.

Let alone other places.

Taking advantage of the fact that the market is still small, follow his idea.

Separate the MacOS system and sell the operating system like Microsoft.

For example, genuine The launch price is set at US$29.9.

This price is not expensive, and places like Europe, the United States, island countries, Bangzi, and some economically better regions, such as Xiangjiang, Wanwan, and Lion City, can all afford genuine systems.

At a low price By selling MacOS at the price of a genuine Microsoft system, and relying on its excellent human-computer interaction experience, Jiang Feng is confident that he will bury Microsoft, the future enemy, in one fell swoop.

“this…”Jobs was a little worried,”If we separate it and sell it separately, and let other companies’ computers use this system, it will have a great impact on the sales of our Apple computers.”

From Jobs’ point of view, he was confident in setting the price at $7,000. The main reason for selling is relying on this system.

If we follow what Jiang Feng said, it is true that the Apple system can win the first place in the operating system market.

However, it will undoubtedly affect Apple computer sales.

Without the proudly unique system of Apple computers, who would be willing to spend $3,000 more than the market price to buy an Apple computer?

“It is indeed a problem.”

Jiang Feng nodded.

Jiang Feng understood Jobs’s inner worries.

Understanding it is one thing, but not implementing it is another thing.

In essence, Jobs’ worry is that he did not estimate the future trend of the Internet. , believes that making money from operating systems does not make money from computer hardware.

A computer can earn two to three thousand US dollars, but selling a system to make a profit requires selling hundreds of users. Moreover, the operating system is software, unlike hardware that can be damaged and has to release new updates frequently. version, fix bugs, etc.

It is far from making money by making hardware.

From a simple point of view, it is indeed the case.

But once the scale of Internet users reaches hundreds of millions, it will not be the case.

Simply put, selling software is a small profit but quick turnover.

Hardware is highly profitable. , but few can afford to buy at high prices.

Moreover, as a reborn person, Jiang Feng knew that Microsoft, which relied on selling software, later made a lot of money, but instead engaged in hardware. With the development of computers, more and more companies Joining in will eventually lead to mutual competition. If you lower the price, I will follow suit. In the end, the profit will become lower and lower.

On the contrary, Microsoft, which is engaged in software, has monopolized the entire operating system market by being the first to do so.

Even if there is a new operating system, unless it is revolutionary , otherwise, no matter how well optimized it is, it will not help.

After all, everyone is accustomed to using Microsoft operating systems.

There is also the software ecosystem.

Therefore, even if Apple computers cannot be sold, Jiang Feng will still push the MacOS system. Let it seize the operating system market share

“Mr. Jobs, I understand your concerns. Please trust my decision.”

Looking at Jobs, Jiang Feng said firmly.

“Well, you are the boss of the company and you have the final say.”

Jobs shrugged and chose to compromise.

As long as he is not allowed to lower the price of Apple computers to the same price as those junk computers from IBM, Compaq, and HP, everything is easy to say.

Jobs readily agreed, which surprised Jiang Feng. He was surprised. I was ready to persuade Steve Jobs, but I didn’t expect it….Didn’t come in handy.

However, Jiang Feng realized these two things.

Apple must have an executive who understands marketing and products and can convince Jobs.

Who is suitable?

Jiang Feng frowned and thought

“Hey, there it is.”

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Jiang Feng’s head, and he thought of a good candidate.

Ps: There are some bad words, which is very uncomfortable.
