Although it has been expected for a long time, the carbon crystal hard disk can definitely be used in the deeply optimized windows98 system.
But after completing this series of tests, Microsoft's technical department was extremely shocked.
The members of Microsoft's technical department are definitely the world's top software engineers.
The tens of millions of lines of code in Windows 98 were typed out one by one by these technical engineers.
Including the windowsxp system that is currently being developed is also a masterpiece of these outstanding engineers.
They absolutely couldn't believe that Xia Guo's pirate manufacturers were able to modify the underlying code of the system.
This technique is extremely difficult and time-consuming.
It is absolutely impossible for the Xia people, who are extremely backward in computer technology, to be able to make it.
Microsoft engineers firmly believe that unless Microsoft voluntarily discloses the underlying code of windows98, no one in the world can do such a thing.
This matter is no small matter. If the underlying code of windows98 can be modified deeply, it will almost expose windows98 to others without any defense. This situation is quite dangerous.
For a system, this is absolutely fatal.
Fortunately, this company called Deep Optimization System only allows the system to support carbon crystal hard drives.
If this company has more ideas, such as using this technology to penetrate deep into the system, steal user information, or do more extreme things, it will be of great importance to the hundreds of millions of Windows 98 PCs in the world. crisis.
This kind of thing is very serious!
The technical department did not dare to hide it, and immediately reported the cause and effect of the matter to the top management of Microsoft.
Most of Microsoft's energy is now devoted to the development of windows xp system.
It is expected that next year, Microsoft's latest system windowsxp will be able to meet with users.
In fact, most of the underlying code of windows xp is the same as that of windows 98, and xp is the in-depth optimization and improvement of the 98 system.
If the underlying code of win98 has been leaked, then the windows xp system developed by Microsoft may also have corresponding security problems.
The situation report on the extremely optimized system was placed on the desk of Microsoft CEO Gai Chi.
Gates' first reaction was that the underlying code of the Windows 98 system must have been leaked by relevant technical personnel.
This matter is no small matter!
Gaichi immediately held a high-level meeting of the committee members, and seriously notified that a company in Xiaguo had the ability to modify the underlying code of windows98.
At the high-level meeting, Gates said: "We admit that Xia Guo is indeed an emerging market. They have a population of 1.2 billion, and there is definite news that Xia will join the WTO at the end of this year."
"However, many of us have been to Xiaguo for business or travel, and many technical leaders have communicated with Xiaguo's counterparts. Our Xiaguo head office was also established in 1995, so we have a good understanding of Xiaguo. The country's computer level is very familiar."
"We believe that so far, even Xia Guo's country and computer research laboratory have no way to obtain the underlying code of our windows98 system."
"Most likely, it leaked from our interior."
When Gates said this, his expression was quite serious.
There is no need to find any evidence. Microsoft people are very clear about their own technology, and they are also very clear about the difficulty of the underlying code of the windows98 system.
It is absolutely impossible for any company or individual in the world to obtain tens of millions of lines of Windows98 system code.
Whether it is Gates or other senior executives of Microsoft, they are very sure that there must be an insider in the company. This is the behavior of the company's insiders, which led to the leakage of the underlying code of Microsoft's windows98 system.
There are only two things in this high-level meeting: The first thing is to conduct a thorough inspection of Microsoft's key departments. The second thing is to let the technical department take measures as soon as possible to weaken the impact of the deep optimization system on the genuine system.
A vigorous plan to find traitors is unfolding inside Microsoft.
The effect of this action is very obvious.
Everyone did not find out the insider who had something to do with the pirated system. On the contrary, many commercial spies lurking inside Microsoft were discovered earlier.
These people have very close ties to Nokia's Symbian system department, Apple, and South Korea's Samsung.
Even sold a lot of Microsoft's trade secrets.
This result surprised Microsoft's top management.
However, in this storm of incidents, the Chinese engineers of Microsoft were the most victims.
It is not a matter of a day or two for Chinese people to be discriminated against in the United States, but it has been since the end of the 19th century.
Especially after the founding of New China, the Chinese from the mainland have become the lowest class citizens of the United States. Their status is not only lower than that of whites and blacks in the United States, but also lower than that of Latin Americans, Southeast Asians, Orientals and South Koreans. The status is only higher than that of the Chinese from the Wanwan area, and they are at the lowest end of the entire discrimination chain.
However, the Chinese in mainland China are talented and hardworking, so they are quickly gaining a foothold in various industries in the United States.
Especially in Silicon Valley in the United States, there are a large number of Chinese engineers.
On the other hand, if there are no Chinese engineers, there will be no glory of Silicon Valley in the United States.
Similarly, at Microsoft, there are also a large number of Chinese engineers.
However, after this incident, Chinese engineers were ostracized and discriminated against by their colleagues intentionally or unintentionally.
The executives of the technology department directly transferred several Chinese from the core technology department, terminated their participation in the research and development of the windows xp system, and even reduced their salaries.
Ma Tao, who graduated from Yenching University and went to the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study as a graduate student and doctoral student at public expense, is one of them.
This is Ma Tao's fifth year at Microsoft. He has less qualifications than many engineers, but because of his strong technical ability and excellent talent, he quickly became a core figure in the technical department and has become a leader in the development of Windows XP. The core tasks of the project team.
But today, as soon as Ma Tao entered the workplace, he was called to the office by the supervisor.
The director Wells said to Ma Tao very apologetically: "Ma, I am very sorry, you have been transferred out of the project team, and now you are in charge of system maintenance and updates. In your new job, I hope you can work with your colleagues as soon as possible Familiar with it, get used to it as soon as possible."
Wells said it very euphemistically, but Ma Tao is very clear about various positions at Microsoft.
After being transferred from the current development position, his salary level will be reduced by at least three levels, which is actually a disguised way to keep him away from the core department and demote him.
Ma Tao became puzzled and even a little angry, but he didn't dare to speak harshly to the supervisor, so he could only suppress his inner grief and indignation and asked, "Mr. Wells, did I make any mistakes in my work? ?
