<h4>Chapter 1386 – IE is outdated</h4>


    “Our Baidu browser is using our core technology. We had developed this browser with Sina, Sohu, NetEase, Tencent, Alibaba, Yandex, and otherpanies. It has a quick start-up, faster browsing.... It also supports multiple bookmarks, giving users more convenience....”


    The current IE is still at a single page mode, and this browser is attractive because it can open multiple pages at once. Most inte users will open more than one website.


    IE’s start-up and loading speed are slower, and Baidu’s browser has more applications.


    Baidu has acquired HAO123 recently, and this is China’s top online listing portal currently. Most Chinese set it as their homepage to browse the web.


    Many navigation websites have imitated HAO123’s navigation portal. It has be China’s navigation website standard.


    This is why Baidu spent 50 billion RMB and a portion of Baidu shares to acquire it.


    HAO123’s traffic is as high as Sina, Yahoo, and other top websites. With Baidu’s resources, they might be China’s No. 1 website in the future.


    Li Yanhong stood on the stage to announce theunch. Although Baidu is set upter than Sina and other intepanies, their core search engine technology is inferior to them. With Baidu’s acquisition of HAO123 and their new browser, their influence will be greater.


    Baidu will be listed in Hong Kong soon. Its value will surely exceed Sina and otherpanies to be China’s No. 1 Intepany!


    Li Yanhong has thought of this jointly developed browser’s idea. But he was worried the otherpanies would not agree, and he went to look for Feng Yu. Feng Yu supported his idea and helped him call the person in charge of otherpanies to invite them.


    The browser’s development went smoothly with manypanies’ support.


    Other than the Chinese reporters, many foreign reporters are there to cover thisunch. Some overseas intepanies had also sent their representatives to thisunch.


    Some of the audiences are invited Li Yanhong, and some are invited by Zhong Qingxian, Liu Chuanzhi, and the rest. Kameda Masao also invited some.


    After Li Yanhong introduced his browser’s features, the reporters started to ask questions. Of course, somepanies’ representatives also ask questions.


    Microsoft’s China top software engineer raised his hand and asked loudly. “Which one of you had developed inte browsers before?”


    Li Yanhong asked him back. “Has Microsoft developed anypanies’ browser before you all developed IE?”


    Are you saying that only Microsoft can develop web browsers and we can’t? The first version of IE is nowhere near our browser.


    “You mentioned that you hadpared the stats with other browsers. Are youparing to only IE?”


    “No. We hadpared our browser to IE and other browsers. I need to remind you that the IE browser’s market share is not high globally. We hadpared our browser to all the mainstream browsers globally, like Yahoo, Google... etc. IE is only one of them.”


    This Microsoft engineer implies that their IE browser is the industry standard, and all browsers should bepared to them.


    Maybe IE is only one type of standard, but many other browsers’ standards are not inferior to them. IE is only slightly above average, but it is not the top browser.


    Today, Baidu will trample all over IE and let everyone what is considered the best browser. A browser that can surf the inte is not considered a good browser. Some browsers are destined to be obsolete.


    That Microsoft engineer still wants to ask questions, but Kameda Masao stood up. “You had asked two questions, and it should be our turn. You are not the only one with questions.”


    Kameda Masao made that engineer quiet. No matter how sessful that engineer is, he is still an employee. But Kameda Masao is Japan’s Second Billionaire and the President of Wind and Rain Holdings.


    “Mr. Kameda, what is your question?” Li Yanhong starts to act with Kameda Masao.


    “I feel that Yahoo’s browser is the best, and its browsing speed is the fastest. We don’t even need topare to IE because they are nowhere close!”


    Kameda Masao’s statement shocked all the reporters. How can someone criticize Microsoft products in public? The reporters start to take pictures.


    News... this is a piece of big news!


    Kameda Masao did not mention anything about Google and only talk about the Yahoo browser.


    Yahoo China’s person in charge is struggling. He should be happy to hear people praising hispany’s browser, especially someone with a higher social status.


    But why must you mention IE? Although we also think IE cannot bepared to us, you should not say this publicly. This will offend Microsoft, and we are partners now.


    Microsoft’s engineer is furious until his lips tremble. Kameda Masao is too arrogant!


    What do you mean by nowhere close? Our IE has the highest market share in the market! Although the percentage is not that high, we are still the highest!


    New browsers appear almost every few months, and thepetition is stiff. IE can get the highest market share is an amazing feat.


    Even if you point out IE ws and all have more features, you cannot change the fact that we own the highest market share. How dare you all belittle Microsoft?!


    Yahoo is only the World’s No.1 web portal, but you all are also forced to break up because of monopolizing the market. We had been sued for anti-trust too, and we settled it with a few hundred million USD.


    How dare Yahoo belittle Microsoft?! We shall see which browser will emerge as the winner!


    That Microsoft engineer stood up angrily and was about to leave when Kameda Masao added. “IE is outdated and is destinated to be obsolete!”


    The engineer stopped for a second and continued his way without turning back.


    Outdated? Obsolete? We shall see who will be obsolete!
