This embarrassment faced by Wanhu is almost a fatal existence. However, such a fatal problem is not without solutions.

And this solution to the dilemma begins with the birth of a programmer.

The initial birth of the programmer profession was not actually oriented towards a commercial purpose. Except for computer science researchers in high-end laboratories, most of the remaining folk programmers are wild and grow wildly.

Writing a program to implement a function. Even if you just enter the aunt and write a "Hello, world". It is a very fulfilling thing.

Although the price of computers is not two, it is not expensive for most Americans.

Even compared to other entertainment activities, programming is even one of the things that costs the least and gets the most fulfilling.

Writing a program can bring about a sense of accomplishment. Many people use the written software after repeated copying and dissemination, which is even more exciting.

In the end, these programmers may have worked in large companies with their programming skills because of the development of the computer industry, but their code writing their own Xie Huan looks at the functions they like, and they like to see others using their own software.

With the gradual development of the Internet, these people have created open source communities.

In the open source community, not only are there free code and software, but also everyone can improve the functions of a software with more power. There are also various free learning materials.

Even open source tycoons think that with the existence of the open source community, anyone can become a programmer.

Anyone can become a programmer, so naturally the writing of software will be easier and the spread of software will be faster.

For example, large software business companies can no longer continue to charge free knowledge.

That's right, those large software business companies mainly refer to Microsoft.

Microsoft is born in capital.

Its initial technology may not be good. It is common for msdos, which is sold with ibm-compatible machines, to crash when used.

However, although Microsoft's system is not the best and most efficient, it has successfully become the largest operating system on the market with its built-in advantages.

And with such a large number of operating systems, they started selling their office suites, and even browsers.

If you can be forgiven for poor technology, but they charge a very expensive fee for every feature, it will be unbearable.

In the open source community, almost every open source developer regards Microsoft as an enemy.

They are very disgusted with Microsoft's behavior, and they believe that Microsoft is destroying the entire computer software industry.

Should electronic software be charged?

There shouldn't be a charge!

Based on the entire basic contradiction, Microsoft's entire company that pursues profits as its top priority can be said to be in the same situation as the open source community.

However, although Microsoft's programmers are not capable, Microsoft's sales are very strong.

Those paid software entered the government and enterprises.

Many people who have just come into contact with computers think that the office suite is a Microsoft suite, and think that the browser is an ie browser.

Microsoft's great commercial success naturally gives them the strength to deal with the open source community.

If Wanhu's mistaken system is used, if he wants to get rid of the embarrassing situation where there are too few software and no software available, it seems that as long as he cooperates with the open source community, he will turn his fate into victory.

Because what ten thousand households lack is software, while what the open source community lacks is platform.

However, there is a problem involved.

In this way, if ten thousand households charge the system, if ten thousand households charge the various software charge the same. What is the difference between ten thousand households and Microsoft?

Why do software developers in the open source community cooperate with Wanhu?

Therefore, if you want to cooperate with the open source community, you must be free of charge.

For Microsoft, it is Microsoft's top priority to build a system and its core business. Naturally, it is impossible to say that it is free.

However, the situation of tens of thousands of households is different, and the suggestion of free is not unacceptable.

After all, Wanhu’s core businesses are in game development, game distribution, and hardware manufacturing.

As long as these three pillars do not fall, the operating system business is actually not enough to lose money.

And what kind of benefits will occupying the market bring to tens of thousands of households?

After careful evaluation, Wanhu decided to "free" their system.

However, this "free" is not very similar to the real free one.

Wanhu's operating system can be downloaded for free on the Internet, but at the current download speed, downloading an operating system will have to wait until the year of the monkey and horse month.

Therefore, the main sales channel of the operating system must also be offline channels.

And as long as it is an offline channel, there will be costs.

The cost of floppy disks, CDs, transportation costs, warehouse management costs, production costs, sales costs, etc.

Therefore, tens of thousands of households finally decided to adjust the price of the operating system's actual version at a cost price, which is about 30 US dollars.

For users who have bought an operating system in the US dollar before, users can get a game that has 10,000 households compensation, or directly choose to go to the store to exchange for money with the operating system packaging shell.

At the same time, Wanhu also published a development letter in the open source community.

It means that all the benefits brought by the operating system will be invested into the education cause.

Cultivate computer technology talents related to education.

As for why we don’t talk about charity, because charity is not a good word in the open source circle.

You should know that people with a little bit of cultural knowledge know that the charity carried out by the rich is a false charity, a tax avoidance method, and a hypocrisy.

There is no need for Wanhu to maintain the purity of these two words, so Wanhu only says to exchange income for education.

After all, although I can learn by myself, the difficulty curve of learning is too high.

If you don’t have a high level of interest, if you don’t have true love for computers, it will be difficult to stick to it.

Teachers’ teaching is very important, but everyone is actually very clear about what the education fee in the United States looks like.

You may be able to pass the higher education exam, but you may not be able to pass the exam.

Therefore, Wanhu intends to open a welfare-based educational institution, and anyone who is interested in programming can come here to study.

And this can be regarded as a contribution of the open source community.

The quick actions and sincere emotions of thousands of households have gained the emotions of programmers in the open source community.

There are more and more application software on Wanhu operating system.

Although most of these software are free, some have donated versions.
