Chapter 1538 Complete ban

Once Microsoft's decision was announced, the whole world was in an uproar. It was definitely the first time in history that it blatantly banned a software like this. How far did Microsoft get into QQ that it would issue such an unprecedented ban order.

Microsoft's action was also very fast. Under the direct command of Bill Gates, in a week, all Microsoft's genuine systems that were connected to the Internet received a message from the system, allowing all users to download the latest system patches on the official website.

But what is surprising is that this system message was not kicked from beginning to end. This time the patch was to completely ban QQ, and even the name of QQ was not mentioned, just to further optimize the security of the system.

Boss Jia naturally received the news as soon as possible, and the subordinate technical department also unpacked the new patch. After just 10 minutes, the relevant conclusions were placed in front of Boss Jia.

"Oh, Microsoft has done a lot this time. This patch directly modified the core file of the system, and specifically directly identified the registration information of QQ in the registry, and then blocked it. This trick is so cruel. Your small software is probably useless!" Boss Jia glanced at the report, and then smiled at Ma Yun beside him.

"Microsoft has completely tore off all the masks this time. If we don't act, our things will of course be useless!" Ma Yun said with a wry smile. Microsoft's patch this time was too ruthless, and it directly cut off the small tricks used by QQ before.

If QQ wants to avoid this Microsoft patch update, it has to write the program from scratch and change its name... Of course, this is actually useless. Microsoft will definitely stare at QQ. Whether it is a name or a program, QQ will probably be added to the banned list as soon as possible.

In short, this move is really too ruthless, and he directly beheaded the QQ software.

"Actually, there are not so many worries. No matter how harsh the patch is this time, as long as the users don't update it, it will be useless!" Boss Jia said with a smile.

Internet companies in the past are not as domineering as many Internet companies in later generations. Some important updates will force users to update, and users will not be able to use the software if they do not update.

There are some operations that are even more sensible. The user does not notify the updates, and they will automatically update them secretly, which is hard to guard against.

At this age, no matter how awesome Microsoft patches are, they have to download them themselves and update them actively, otherwise they will be useless.

There are three reasons for this. First, automatic updates will infringe on some users’ rights and pose certain legal risks.

Second, automatic updates require a lot of bandwidth and complex programs, and automatic updates are very easy to cause problems. If the user closes the program or directly cuts off the computer when it is updated secretly, the program will be done and the update will become fatal.

Finally, it is the arrogance of network manufacturers, who are too lazy to provide users with a more convenient user experience... Although automatic updates do violate users' rights, it is much more convenient than users who download patches on the website and update them themselves.

In short, it is not that simple for Microsoft to ban QQ, otherwise Boss Jia would not be ignorant and make such a big fuss with Microsoft, because it is simply unrealistic for Microsoft to completely ban QQ.

"But, how do we prevent users from downloading patches?" Ma Yun asked in confusion. "Even if most users will not actively download patches, even if only 10% of users download it, it will be a huge loss for millions of users for QQ!"

"Of course we can't stop users, but we can cut off the road!" Boss Jia smiled and made a phone call at the same time. Dozens of computers and hackers in the United States started working immediately.

A few minutes later, those users who followed Microsoft's prompts to download patches found that the download page card could not be proactive. After waiting for a few more minutes, it simply turned into 404.

But this is normal. After all, the network services are very bad these days. Once a large amount of traffic is introduced, it is very normal for the download server to crash.

Haven’t you seen that even after more than 10 years, 12306 shouldn’t collapse just to collapse?

Monster updates at the level of Windows system are very terrifying to the traffic impact of the server. Anyway, every time the Windows system releases an update, the related websites will crash. This is normal and users are used to it.

Either keep brushing, wait for a lucky chance to enter the server, and then complete the download.

Either turn it off and wait a few days before talking about it. After a few days, the downloaded traffic will be reduced and the server will naturally become normal.

Microsoft engineers also think so, so after the server crashes, they simply maintain the server, then reopen it, and wait for a few minutes, and the server crashes again... Basically, this is the routine, and engineers are already very accustomed to it, which is normal.

Three days later, it's still the case, which is a little abnormal. After all, the previous update will basically collapse in the first two days, and then it will gradually become loose.

However, this made Microsoft's senior executives very happy. Server crash means that a large number of users downloaded, a large number of systems completed updates, and a large number of QQs were blocked. They wished that the server would crash for a month!

Of course, this is a lie, because after the server continued to crash for half a month, the senior management felt something was wrong. Even if hundreds of millions of users (authentic versions) around the world came to update the system, it should have been updated!

The senior executives who found out that something was wrong began to investigate the traffic this time, and then found that these traffic seemed normal, and they were download applications from all regions around the world.

Just after careful study, you will find that these addresses and applications are sent almost 24 hours a day, which means that these computer owners sit in front of the computer 24 hours a day and apply for downloading patches. Is this possible?

Also, after investigation, they found that the system has actually been updated with very few users. Most of them complained wildly in the official forum, saying that they could not enter at all and could not click on the download link. They were too lazy to update, and whoever updated the SB.

Microsoft immediately launched the second download address, but the second address also collapsed instantly. Next, Microsoft continued to release more than a dozen unpatented addresses, but all of them collapsed instantly.
