บท 270: Chapter 261: Public Relations?

Despite Quicken already having the upper hand, it was no surprise to Dean that Microsoft continued to promote Microsoft Money.

After all, it was Microsoft, a company never known to back down and let itself be defeated. How could there be any reason for Microsoft to retreat in disgrace?

Moreover, Gates was not one to accept defeat lightly; his domineering nature would never tolerate Byte Company's insolent defiance.

So under Gates's furious orders, Microsoft went full throttle, releasing an updated version of Microsoft Money in just two months.

And that wasn't all; Gates's mandate to the internal project team was to launch a third version of Microsoft Money in the second half of the year.

The user experience of the third version couldn't lag too far behind Quicken, ideally maintaining just a one-version difference between them.

Then, with the fourth version of Microsoft Money, the plan was to completely catch up with the current Quicken software.
