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

On August 27, 2004, several cities in California, including San Francisco and Los Angeles jointly filed a lawsuit against Microsoft, accusing it of abuse of its monopoly position in the field of personal computer operating systems and setting unreasonable prices for goods.

Dennis Elrera, one of the plaintiff's lawyers, said: "This is a pillage that hinders normal competition and harms the legitimate interests of consumers and taxpayers. We must use legal means to find suitable solutions." Microsoft spokesman Stacey Drake said that the company has not conducted a thorough study on the case. But she also emphasized: "We cherish the relationship with cities and have always provided excellent software to customers at very competitive prices."

On December 7, 2004, the antitrust investigation of Microsoft by the highly-watched South Korean government finally settled. The South Korean Fair Trade Commission (FTC) announced the final investigation results today, judging that Microsoft's business behavior in South Korea violated the Fair Trade Law and related regulations, and fined it $32 million.

The FTC requires Microsoft to launch two versions of Windows for the Korean market within 180 days. One of them must exclude Windows MediaPlayer and live chat software. The other version of Windows can bundle the aforementioned software, but must provide web page links to download competitor-related software. The FTC's judgment is valid for 10 years. After the first 5 years, Microsoft can apply for a review of the judgment every year in response to changes in the market environment.

On December 22, 2004, the European Court of Justice ordered Microsoft to immediately implement the antitrust punishment issued by the European Commission in March, change its business operation mode, divest the media player software bundled in the windows operating system, and open the source code of some software to competitors.

Also on December 22, 2004, investigators from the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) met with Microsoft's lawyers on Monday. JFTC took the opportunity to further clarify its attitude towards Microsoft's licensing sales in Japan. In July 2004, JFTC accused Microsoft of some licensing agreements with Japanese PC sellers of violating Japanese antitrust laws, and Microsoft allegedly forced PC sellers to accept some mandatory clauses requiring them to guarantee that Microsoft would not be sued. In fact, Microsoft's technology is extremely similar to the technology developed by some Japanese companies.

At this time, Bill Gates filed accusations against Jiang's Group, and his intentions were worth pondering.

It should be said that Bill Gates may have the intention to solve the piracy problem in the Chinese market, but it is not realistic at the moment. His intention is to use this to interfere with his vision and prove his non-monopoly position.

If someone else pirated your software and caused a market monopoly, then who should I pursue this responsibility?

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

In principle, Jiang Feng opposed piracy, because it not only harmed the interests of countless software original authors, but also endangered the entire computer industry.

Once everyone refuses to provide services because they don’t get any rewards for their efforts, the entire software industry will suffer a catastrophe, and the entire computer industry will collapse, which will affect the development of the entire society.

However, Jiang Feng also disagrees with Microsoft's approach, because if Microsoft's price strategy is implemented, the domestic computer industry will not have developed at all.

For a long time, Microsoft has implemented a global unified pricing strategy. The normal quotation of Windows XP is about $199, but the average monthly salary of the United States is $3,000 while the average monthly salary of China is only $100. Who would be willing to buy a software with a monthly salary?

In fact, the domestic price of WindowsXP is RMB 1,998, which is higher than the foreign price. It can be said to be a discriminatory price.

In other words, Microsoft believes that not many Chinese users will buy genuine products, so it simply formulates a high-price strategy. Or in other words, the reason why Microsoft does this is to limit the development of China's computer industry.

For Chinese users, who would be willing to be the thief that Gates calls? Microsoft is also very familiar with and tries to resolve this contradiction, such as gifts or promotions to government agencies in schools and some regions, which has benefited some students and institutions.

Microsoft once had an open compromise on its pricing policy six years ago, which was to symbolically charge a dollar per unit for tens of thousands of pirated systems used by the Sanfoqi government. At the same time, the other party promised not to use pirated software in the future, so Microsoft regarded it as a legal user. Afterwards, the Sanfoqi Information Minister also said that Microsoft's move was realistic. Due to economic factors, they could not force us, developing countries, to only use genuine software.

Overall, Jiang Feng was still very unhappy about Jiang's electronics being involved in this kind of pirated software dispute. At least he believed that if Microsoft wanted to point fingers at its company, it would still need to come up with some real evidence. After all, the computers of its company are all using pre-installed genuine operating systems. As for end users, are they obliged to urge them to buy a software that is actually in a monopoly position in the industry?

Of course, Jiangshi Electronics tried to install less windows operating systems on the computers it sold, which was also related to Jiangshi Group's development of its own brand new operating system.

Although the operating system is a big system project, it is not difficult for Jiang Feng to do so, because among the many materials in Lingxijie, there are computer operating systems, and even operating systems that are completely encoded in Chinese characters. However, Jiang Feng did not intend to launch such an advanced system. First, because it is completely different from people's thinking habits now. Even if it is launched, it will be sold at most in China and basically has no market abroad. If you want to enter the global market, you still have to use English encoding.

The desktop operating system that Jiang Feng plans to launch at Jiangshi Group is not too much ahead of this era, so there is no need for it. The kernel program of the operating system he took out is roughly fifteen years ahead of the era and is based on the kernel of the Linux system.

The Linux kernel has been developed long ago, and linux is open source, and system enthusiasts around the world can study it at any time. Nowadays, different operating systems built with the Linux kernel as structure have appeared in countries around the world. Most of the supercomputers use the Linux kernel.

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

Even the Windows series that dominates the world, there is nothing we can do about it.

The so-called success is Xiao He and the failure is Xiao He. Although open source has made Linux spread all over the world, because of the open source of Linux, all countries want to build an operating system with the Linux kernel as the framework. However, not all countries have the ability to build a Linux operating system. In a series of Linux operating system versions in later generations, due to various problems, it is impossible to promote it. Even in China, they have been studying the Linux operating system.

Like the Kirin operating system in later generations, the Hongqi operating system in the past few years, the object developed by Hongqi is also a server system, and it has not been selected for individual users. Although Linux later launched the desktop version and has some entertainment xing, many entertainment functions are still unavailable and have not been spread. Therefore, desktop-level operating systems have always dominated Microsoft's Windows.

Facts have proved that those who serve large enterprises as the comprehensive purpose cannot compete with the billions of user groups around the world. Of course, those who serve large enterprises as the comprehensive purpose are relatively safe. At least some companies have bought the operating system I have developed, especially countries that have received government support. As for desktop operating systems that serve individual users, even if you develop an operating system, you still have a promotion problem. You can't force individuals to use your system.

What Jiang Group wants to build now is the Linux desktop operating system, which is mainly for individual users. It is not right to say that it is a Linux operating system. Although this operating system is based on Linux, after adding too many innovative ideas, it has completely lost its original Linux appearance and has become a brand new operating system.

However, the system is so big, naturally, it is not something that Jiang Feng can do alone. He just took out the core of the system, and the rest were handed over to the huge army of programmers of Jiang's Information Technology Company to complete.

Fortunately, after entering the new century, China's computer major has always been a popular major, and there are so many people applying for the exam, so it has also cultivated a large number of computer professional talents, which provides Jiang's Information Technology Company with a huge talent pool. Otherwise, even with the financial resources of Jiang's Group, it would be difficult to come up with such an operating system plan. After all, no matter how good your creativity or good plan you have, it would be in vain if no one can realize it.

However, even so, Jiang's Information Technology Company wants to launch its own operating system, which cannot be completed in one or two years. Before this, Jiang Feng did not announce to the outside world that he had plans to enter the field of personal computer desktop operating systems, because last year the subsidiary of Jiang's Group launched various new products. Now Jiang's Group is already a big hit. If you let everyone know that Jiang's Group has plans to enter the desktop operating system, it will easily lead to hatred. (To be continued.
