"Of course it's a smaller MSN!!" Bill Gates couldn't help laughing.

After seeing this, some readers may be puzzled. Isn’t the larger the installation package, the better? Because this means more experience and functions of the program?

This may have been a normal idea in later generations, but in 1999, no one ever wanted the bigger the installation package, the better.

The reason is very simple, everyone's computer capacity is too small.

In 1999, the standard hard drive size of home computers was about 2GB. If anyone's computer has a hard drive of 5GB, it would be the top-end computer.

At the same time, because of the high price of computers, many people's computers were released in 1990s and left over from the 1980s. The capacity of these computers is even more pitiful, and they are all calculated in MB.

So now most computers and users hate large-scale installation packages.

Take QQ for example, an installation package is as high as nearly 50MB.

For a computer with a 2GB hard disk capacity, Windows 95 installation system requires 200MB of space. If you include various commonly used software, it would be very amazing to have 1GB left in 2GB of space.

But a computer is definitely not just about installing some common software, but most importantly, it is about installing games. A game is very large. Take the latest Red Alert 2 as an example, the capacity size reaches an astonishing 310MB.

Three red alerts 2 can occupy the entire hard drive.

Moreover, as the computer continues to run, various junk files will be born. There are no such things as computer cleaning assistants these days, so it is difficult to clean up automatically. As a result, more and more accumulated, the space is further compressed.

It is really hard for many users to squeeze out 50MB of space.

Of course, as long as you squeeze and delete some garbage, the 50MB space can still be squeezed out. However, anyone who looks at the vastness of his computer, and all the hard drives are in full red, will be in a very bad mood.

So when users of this era are installing software, they often check the size of the software as soon as possible. If it is too large, they will give up the installation.

On the contrary, if they are small and exquisite, they will make an instinctive choice.

This is exactly why Bill Gates laughed. As an elite in the computer industry, he certainly knew how fascinating it is for users to compress the installation package to less than 10MB.

"Chairman, if the installation package is smaller, the download speed will naturally be faster!" Hulk, who was standing beside him, continued, "Now our average download speed in the United States is about 26KB/second."

"We conducted a test and it would take at least half an hour to download QQ at this speed. At the same time, we also conducted a survey on many users. Because of the differences in each network, the stability is very easy to have problems. There are often cases where the connection is disconnected halfway through the download and need to be downloaded again. This has led to the torture of downloading QQ. Some people even downloaded for seven or eight hours, but they cannot download QQ in full!"

"But our MSN installation package is only 7.8MB, which is one-eighth of the QQ volume, so the download speed is 8 times faster. If you are lucky, you can complete the download in just a few minutes. At the same time, because the download time is short, the download is rarely disconnected, which further improves the stability of the download!" Hulk said proudly.

"For example, if you download QQ, it is equivalent to eating a cow for a meal. Even if you are overwhelmed, it is difficult to finish a meal. But if you download our MSN, it is just a roast chicken, and a meal may not be enough!"

"Okay!!" Bill Gates smiled very brightly on his face. Both improvements are very critical and users will definitely like it.

But Hulk continued, "Chairman, because the MSN is small enough, it will occupy very little memory and run faster. I have someone estimate that if it is streamlined, the fluency of the MSN will be more than doubled, and the probability of system lag, stalemate, or simply crash will also drop to an extremely low level. The user experience of our software is unparalleled!"

"Okay!" Bill Gates smiled even brighter.

Immediately afterwards, Hulk personally gave a demonstration for Bill Gates.

In addition, Hulk also designed a comparison group ingeniously. He first placed the MSN installation package on a public server, then blocked Bill Gates's face, and downloaded the two software QQ and MSN at the same time.

As a result, MSN was successfully downloaded in just five minutes, and at this time, the QQ download was only about 20%.

As a result, the two of them waited for 20 minutes before the QQ was downloaded.

The installation of two software was immediately followed, and it also began from then on.

I have to admit that the installation speed of MSN is also extremely fast, and it was completed in almost a blink of an eye. QQ was installed for about three minutes, and there was also an installation failure in the middle, and there was a problem of reinstalling it.

When I saw this, Bill Gates' smile was about to overflow.

Finally, it is the experience of the smooth operation of both computers. The two computers start to enter at the same time. 100 friends have been added to these two accounts in advance.

"Start sending messages!" With Hulk's order, these 100 friends sent messages to this account at the same time, and Hulk Brother was responsible for clicking on these pop-up windows.

As a result, after about ten pop-up windows were opened, the QQ was stuck and the computer could not control it. No matter how you click the mouse, the screen was still motionless.

And MSN persisted until the 40th pop-up window, which made the system crash.

"Okay! That's great!!!" Bill Gates' smile at this time could not be suppressed. He patted Hulk's shoulder hard, and then said directly, "Mr. Hulk is indeed a talented man. In front of the new version of MSN, QQ is no match at all. I announced that this upgraded version will be released immediately, and Mr. Hulk will fully implement the daily management and operation of MSN!!"

"No hurry!" Facing Bill Gates' appreciation and heavy responsibility, Hulk said calmly, "Even if we all think it's good, it doesn't necessarily mean what users mean. So, we might as well post the internal test BAT version released on the forum now, allowing a few users to test it, see their evaluation before making a decision!"

"After all, replacing a large version is a very big deal, and it will affect the experience of all existing users. If you don't get direct feedback from users, you can replace it directly, which still has a great hidden danger!" Hulk said.

"Okay! Excellent!" Bill Gates completely trusted and praised Hulk, and at the same time began to believe that it was Jobs who snatched Hulk's credit.

After all, it is really rare for Hulk to be so steady and meticulous. This is the talent Microsoft needs!
