And much to Bill and Microsof's credit, they used that fantastic opprtunity to create more opportunities for themselves.
我们应该对比尔和微软大力褒扬,他们抓住了那次绝佳的机会,从而给自己创造了更多的机会。
Eh, most people don't remember but in 19. .. until 1984 with the Mac, Microsoft was not in the application business, which dominated by Lotus.
多数的人都忘了,直到984年微软才开始为Mac开发应用,在此之前微软根本没有涉足过应用业务,大那时候这个领域是Lous的天下。
And Microsoft too a big gamble to write for the Mac.
为Mad偏写应用程序,微软确实冒了一次大险。
And they came out with pplications that were errible.
刚开始他们编出来的应用非常精栏。
But they kept at it and make them better.
但他们不断改进,应用越编越好。
And eventually, they dominated the Macintosh application market, and then used the spring board of Windows to get into the PC market with the same applications.
终,微软主宰了Ma的应用市场。然后借助Windows这块跳板, 凭借着同样的应用打入了个人电脑市场。
And now they dominated the application business in the PC space too. So they have 2 charateristics. I think they are very strong opportuists.
现在他们统治了个人电脑领域的应用业务。
And I don't mean that in a bad way.
我觉得他们有两大特质。首先,他们是非常典型的机会主义者。
And two, they are like the Japanese. They just kee on coming.
我这并不是在讽刺他们。
And now, they were able to do that because of the revenue stream from the IBM deal.
欺,他们像日本人一样,做事锲而不会。
Uh, but noneteless, they. . . made the most of it and L.. gave them a lot of credit for that.
现在,有了与BM交易获得的收入来源,他们便能继续贯彻这种锲而不舍的工作态度。
The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste.
但是尽管如此,他们很会充分利用自己的这一特性. 为此我也经常夸赞他们。
They have absolutely no taste, and. .. what that means is. .. I don't mean that in a small way, I meant that in a big way, in the sense that they. .. they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their produts. 微软唯一的问题就是没有品位。
Um.. . And... you say why. .. is that important, well, you know, proportionally spaced fonts come from typesetting and beautiful books.
他们毫无品位可言,我这句话并不是基于微观层面而言,而是基于宏观的层面,就事论事,他们没有自己的创见,也不会往自己的产品中注入文化和内涵。
That's where one gets the idea.
为什么这很重要,你要知道,比例间距字体的原型出自于排字和精美书籍。
If it weren't for the Mac, they would have never had that in their products.
那是比例间距字体的灵感来源。
Um... And, so L...I guess, I'm saddened, not by Microsoft's success, I have no problem with their success.
如果没有Mac,微软永远也想不到要将这一元素加进他们的产品中。
They've earned their success, for the most part.
让我难过的并非微软的成功,我对他们的成功没有异议。
I have the problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products.
他们的成功大体上是靠勒奋工作换来的。
