At the end of May, Microsoft launched its first graphical interface system - windows 1.0 as scheduled.
To be honest, it is not a real operating system, but an application software running on the ms-dos system.
It includes file manager, calendar, notepad, business card, calculator, drawing, tabulation and other functions, which are powerful.
The price of 99 US dollars is low enough, which immediately became very popular after it was launched. On the day of its release, tens of thousands of sets were sold, becoming the most popular graphical interface system.
The cus computer company also took the opportunity to launch a thor3 computer equipped with window 1.0. In addition to being paired with a graphical interface system, this computer is also equipped with a 286 processor newly launched by Intel last year.
Like the 68000 microprocessor of Lisa computer, this processor is a sixteen-bit processor, and supports multitasking processes. Its computing rate reaches 10 megabytes, which is nearly twice as fast as the Lisa computer.
Its price is only 3,000 US dollars, and its hardware, software, and price all over the board. As a result, it was immediately popular with consumers as soon as it was launched. Five thousand units were sold in the first week of its release, buying all the inventory of cus company.
In comparison, Apple's Lisa computers have only sold less than 5,000 units so far because of their high price. Such dismal sales have also caused Apple's stock price to plummet, and Chairman Stephen Jobs has been criticized by shareholders.
The reason is that Lisa computer was developed under his willful intentions.
The project was launched in seven or eight years. At that time, both hardware and software technology were very backward, but Jobs put forward a lot of demanding requirements, resulting in unprecedentedly high R&D costs of Lisa computers.
Although some people in the company had already suggested that Jobs lower his requirements at that time, Jobs was stubborn and did not listen to advice at all.
Now that Lisa computers have been on sale for nearly half a year, they have sold only 5,000 units. Although tens of millions of dollars have been recovered, the money is still just a drop in the bucket compared to the high R&D and production costs.
What's more, there are still tens of thousands of lisa computers in the warehouse. These unsold computers have also brought huge losses to Apple. It is estimated that Apple's losses will be about 200 million US dollars in the first half of 1983.
In comparison, the sales of the cus computer thor3 model, which is equipped with the latest Windows 1.0 system, has rapidly increased. It is expected that the cus computer's profit will be around US$1.2 billion in the first half of the year, and with the hot sales of the thor3 model in the second half of the year, the company's profits are likely to continue to expand.
One makes money, the other loses money. Compared with the two, Apple shareholders are naturally unhappy with Jobs, which also puts him under a lot of pressure on the board of directors.

In early June, after Ye Jin's unremitting efforts, Lin Qingxia finally successfully conceived her second child.
After confirmation, Ye Jin immediately arranged for Lin Qingxia to enter the fetal care mode.
For example, she usually likes to do shopping, fitness, mahjong, etc., and changes it to safer and more meaningful activities, such as walking, reading, listening to music, etc. Ye Jin also put down most of his work, and his main task every day is to stay at home with her so that she won't be bored.
"Hey, it's still so boring. I want to go shopping, I want to play basketball, I want to invite friends to play mahjong!" In Warner Manor, Lin Qingxia was lying beside the swimming pool, basking in the sun, and acting coquettishly to Ye Jin.
"Of course I can't go shopping, what if I am recognized? You are a big star now. The risk factor of playing basketball is too high. What if I accidentally bump into it?" Ye Jin waved his hand and said, "It's not suitable to play mahjong. The child is still so young, so let him learn gambling?! Are you afraid that after you grow up, you will lose your entire family?"
"This is not possible, that is not possible. I am so annoying." Lin Qingxia couldn't help but lose her temper.
Somehow, since she became pregnant, her temper has grown day by day. According to the doctor, it is caused by uneven hormone secretion in the body.
"Let's do this, I'll tell someone to take the Macy's. In the evening, how about you just need to fight alone?" Ye Jin saw this and quickly suggested with a smile.
It wouldn't cost much money to book Macy's, at most one or two million US dollars. As long as Lin Qingxia is happy, Ye Jin felt that the money was worth it.
"Well, what's the point of walking around by myself? Unless you let your friends come with me." Lin Qingxia thought for a while.
"Okay, but at most three friends, it will be too messy when there are too many people." Ye Jin thought for a while and said.
Lin Qingxia was only happy.
...
That night, after Macy's closed, Ye Jin booked it for Lin Qingxia to have fun with her friends.
Macy's Department Store gave Ye Jin a good face and did not charge a contract fee. However, that night, Lin Qingxia spent two or three million dollars on her life, which was worthy of it.
In addition to clothes, shoes, hats, leather bags, jewelry, and jewelry, we also bought a lot of flashy things, such as gilded sculptures inlaid with gems, handicrafts designed by avant-garde artists, and no one can understand them. It is said to be ebony ornaments from Africa, etc.
These things are expensive and useless. I don’t know where to place them when I buy them. They are just a waste of money. However, because Lin Qingxia likes them, Ye Jin is willing to pay.
A crazy buying and buying made Lin Qingxia vent her heart's content and feel very happy. In order to make her happy, Ye Jin would book Messi to make Lin Qingxia happy every one or two weeks.
But this kind of thing cannot be concealed. After a few times, the media received the news and reported it.
After seeing this news, women in the United States were so envious that they cried.
Their boyfriend and husband rarely buy gifts for them, and they are not even willing to give them home. However, in order to make Lin Qingxia happy, Ye Jin booked Macy's Department Store every one or two weeks to let Lin Qingxia go for a happy trip. Not to mention how much money it costs for her once, this kind of pampering attitude alone is enviable.
"He is really the best husband in the world. Compared to him, my husband is simply a nightmare."
"It's so romantic to have Messi buy Messi and let his wife fight. In comparison, I ran away after my boyfriend got together. May he suffer in hell."
"Why can't I find such a good husband? God is really unfair."
The women talked about it, envious of Lin Qingxia and disliked their lovers.
Ye Jin's reputation and popularity soared with this report. Before, most of the people who liked him were young people, and almost all the fans of the movies were from the source.
But now he is not just young people, but also men and women, old and young, and many places are there. Especially for female fans, who can go from ninety-nine to just leave, almost killing them.
