1482. Chapter 1482 Microsoft has lost (subscription)

Microsoft wants to push the Tab project again, and many people find it somewhat confusing, but Feng Yu understands Microsoft’s true intentions.

Tab is Microsoft’s tablet, it can also be regarded as the prototype of the tablet, still using XP system, a simple version of the XP system.

Microsoft’s VISTA system, with Tab configuration, does not move at all, so if Microsoft wants to continue to promote Tab, it must re-announce XP system update and maintenance, and restart sales of XP system!

When Microsoft pushed the Tab, it cost a lot of money and the result was lost. This Microsoft believes that its advanced products, not many people like it, sales are much worse than Microsoft’s expectations.

Later, Microsoft was no longer crazy, and did not continue to upgrade the product. After all, this product was itself boycotted by hardware vendors and PC manufacturers.

You Microsoft can’t occupy the software market such as operating system, now come to grab our market?

The performance configuration of that Tab is similar to the netbook at this time, perhaps a little worse on the CPU. The result price is similar to IBM’s high-end business book. How many people can buy it?

Of course, this product is also a test of Microsoft. Exploring the attitudes of hardware vendors and PC vendors to see if they really will unite to boycott Microsoft.

The results are obvious, Microsoft’s accessories are the most expensive, although many of them are developed by themselves, but the cost is high, and after the profit, of course, it is more expensive, but not many people buy.

At that time, the technology of touch screen was still unsettled, and even the scratching problem of the screen has not been solved. The product design concept is very advanced, Feng Yu actually likes it, but limited to the technical and other reasons, the actual slag of the product is very good.

The original XP, in fact, is for this research and development, upgraded on WIN2000, otherwise WIN2000 has not been released for a long time, how to launch XP system?

Later, it was found that XP is much better than WIN2000, and the user feedback is also very good. This will stop WIN2000 and mainly push XP system.

The XP system did not disappoint Microsoft. In a few years, it brought back several times of profits for Microsoft!

So Microsoft was failed on the Tab, but the whole project, because of the existence of the XP system, Microsoft actually earned, but the Tab product was failed.

Even so, Microsoft has to reinvigorate the Tab project and renew its promotion efforts, which has surprised many people, especially those PC manufacturers.

Microsoft What is this? The competition with Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation is not over yet, and it is already at a disadvantage. Now it is touching the bottom line of our PC manufacturers?

Do you really think that Microsoft, are you still Microsoft? Our PC manufacturers can no longer rely on you Microsoft. If you don’t have a contract, you can even open Microsoft directly!

XOS is now very popular on the market. The VISTA you developed is a bad review. How long has it been released, and even the compatibility of application software has not been solved.

Of course, they have another reason to support Microsoft. They are worried that Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation will grow into another Microsoft, which will kill a wolf and train another wolf.

So what is most in the interest of PC manufacturers is that Microsoft and Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation are mutually restrained. They can even pull in Apple Corporation to come to a three-nation war.

By the time the price of the software will definitely drop, then the price of the whole machine will drop, and their profits will exceed those of selling software!

Now Microsoft is going to push the Tab project again. Is this going to test their attitudes, or is it going to put aside all considerations of face and start to eat into their markets?

Where can Microsoft’s confidence come to break their union? Unless Microsoft is not interested in selling a Tab tablet!

These PC vendors also understand what Microsoft is doing.

Microsoft simply doesn’t want to sell PC products and grab the market with them. Instead, Microsoft plans to find a reason to continue to update and sell XP systems!

In this way, Microsoft has two systems to sell, and can also reduce the price of XP system, grab the XOS market.

Microsoft can’t say, because our VISTA is on the streets, so XP will not stop updating, continue to sell?

Even if VISTA is on the streets, Microsoft will not stop selling, and will definitely continue to sell. That is, the two systems will be sold at the same time, and it is sure to develop a new seventh-generation Windows operating system to surpass XOS and regain the market. Become the overlord of the operating system again!

To put it bluntly, this Tab is a fig leaf that Microsoft is looking for!

I figured out these, those PC manufacturers no longer say anything, anyway, they do not think that this product can be successful. Touch-screen laptops, larger PC makers, Microsoft’s ideas are not new.

And Microsoft’s Tab price/performance ratio is definitely very bad. It won’t sell many units, and it will not have much impact on their market.

Even they all think that Microsoft’s new Tab is probably worse than the previous one, because there is a netbook now, and the performance of more than four hundred dollars is not much different from the performance of the Tab two thousand dollars, but the price is worse. Several times, the consumer brain is going to buy your Microsoft Tab?

Unless Microsoft can make innovations, and this innovation is not the kind of innovation that you feel is good, but consumers feel that it is useless, to be truly innovative.

Sure enough, three days later, Microsoft announced that due to the re-launch of the Tab project, the XP system will be re-marketed, the price will be based on the price of the previous price reduction, and promised to at least guarantee that it will continue to be updated for more than eight years.

At the same time, the VISTA system will also launch the Company version and the flagship version. The flagship version is a simplified version, the price is lower, the system takes up less space, and the hardware requirements for the PC are not so high.

Liu Chuanzhi first called Feng Yu and asked Feng Yu what he thought about this matter.

Feng Yu asked, what do you think?

The target set at the beginning has already been overfulfilled. Originally, Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation wanted to occupy 20% of the market share in new system sales.

As a result, XOS sales are almost the same as VISTA, and they have achieved five or five.

Of course, more users choose XP system at this time, they have not replaced it, and now need not be replaced. The market share of Microsoft systems is still far ahead.

Some users who originally planned to replace the XOS system decided not to replace it at this time. Although XOS is very similar to XP, and it is better to use it, but XP can be used as well, no need to replace it. What do you spend?

When to change a new computer, and then replace it with the system.

Liu Chuanzhi is very excited to tell Feng Yu, Microsoft that it is admitted to fail, and plans to develop a seventh-generation system. Microsoft has lost, we have defeated the powerful, incomparable Microsoft!
