Chapter 1487 Microsoft Admits Defeat
Microsoft wants to promote the Tab project again, many people feel a little inexplicable, but Feng Yu understands Microsoft's real intention.
Tab is Microsoft's tablet computer, and it can also be regarded as the prototype of the tablet computer. It still uses the xp system, a simplified version of the xp system.
And Microsoft's VisTa system, with the configuration of Tab, can't be carried at all, so if Microsoft wants to continue to promote Tab, it must re-announce the update and maintenance of the xp system and start selling the xp system again!
When Microsoft promoted Tab, it spent a lot of money, but it lost. This product that Microsoft thinks is extremely advanced, not many people like it at all, and the sales are much worse than Microsoft expected.
Later, Microsoft stopped pushing crazy, and did not continue to upgrade the product. After all, this product itself was boycotted by those hardware manufacturers and PC manufacturers.
You, Microsoft, can't dominate the software market such as operating systems, and now come to grab our market, right?
The performance configuration of that Tab is similar to that of the netbook at this time, perhaps a little worse on the cpu. As a result, the price is similar to iBm's high-end business notebook. How many people can buy it?
Of course, this product is also a test by Microsoft. Test the attitude of those hardware manufacturers and pc manufacturers to see if they will really unite to boycott Microsoft.
The result is obvious, the accessories Microsoft gets are the most expensive. Although many of them are researched by themselves, the cost is still high. After adding profits, of course, it is more expensive, but there are not many people who buy them.
At that time, the technology of touch screen was not very good, and even the problem of scratches on the screen had not been solved. The product design concept is very advanced, Feng Yu actually likes it, but due to technical reasons, the actual product is very slag.
The original xp was actually developed for this purpose, and it was upgraded on in2ooo. Otherwise, why did the xp system launch before in2ooo was launched?
Later, xp was much better than in2ooo, and the feedback from users was also very good, so in2ooo was discontinued, and the xp system was mainly promoted.
And the xp system did not let Microsoft down. In a few years, it brought back several times the profits for Microsoft!
Therefore, although Microsoft failed in Tab, but in the whole project, because of the existence of the xp system, Microsoft actually made a profit, but the Tab product failed.
But even so, Microsoft is going to re-promote the Tab project and re-intensify its promotion, which has surprised many people, especially those pbsp; What is Microsoft going to do? The competition with Lianxiangyinshan is not over yet, and it is already at a disadvantage. Now come to touch us pbsp; Do you really think that Microsoft is still the original Microsoft? Our PC manufacturers can no longer rely on your Microsoft. If you don't have a contract, you can even get rid of your Microsoft!
How popular is xos in the market now, take a look at the VisTa you opened, the reputation is one-sided. How long has this been launched, and even the compatibility problem of the application software has not been solved yet.
Of course, there is another reason for them to support Microsoft, that is, they are worried that Lianxiang Yinshan will grow into another Microsoft, then they will kill a wolf and cultivate another wolf.
Therefore, what is most in line with the interests of PC manufacturers is that Microsoft and Lianxiang Yinshan contain each other, and they can even pull in the fruit company to start a Three Kingdoms war.
At that time, the price of software will definitely continue to drop, then the price of their whole machine will drop, and their profits will exceed those who sell software!
Now that Microsoft is going to re-promote the Tab project, is it to test their attitude, or is it going to tear its face and start eating away at their market?
Where did Microsoft get the confidence to break their alliance? Unless Microsoft didn't mean to sell the Tab tablet!
These PC manufacturers also understand what Microsoft is going to do.
Microsoft doesn't really want to sell PC products at all.
Grab the market with them, but Microsoft intends to find a reason to continue to update and sell the xp system!
In this way, Microsoft has two systems to sell, and it can also reduce the price of the xp system to snatch the xos market.
Microsoft can't always say, because our VisTa is on the street, so xp will not stop updating, will it continue to sell?
Even if VisTa hits the street, Microsoft will not stop selling it, and will definitely continue to sell it. That is, two systems will be sold at the same time, and a new seventh-generation Windows operating system will definitely be developed to win the market back with more xos. Back to be the overlord of the operating system!
To put it bluntly, this Tab is a fig leaf that Microsoft found!
Figured this out, those pc manufacturers don't say anything anymore, anyway, they don't think that this product can be successful. Touch-screen laptops are available from larger PC manufacturers, and Microsoft's creativity is no longer new.
Moreover, the price/performance ratio of Microsoft's Tab is definitely still very poor, and it will not sell many units. It will not have much impact on their market.
They even think that Microsoft's new Tab may sell worse than the previous one, because there are netbooks now, and the performance of a product of more than $400 is not much different from the Tab's performance of $2,000, but the price is worse. How many times, do consumers with brains go to buy your Microsoft Tab?
Unless Microsoft can still make innovations, and this innovation is not the kind of innovation that I think is good, but consumers think it is useless, it must be real innovation.
Sure enough, three days later, Microsoft announced that due to the restart of the Tab project, the xp system will be re-launched to the market.
At the same time, the VisTa system will also launch the enterprise version and the flagship version. The flagship version is a simplified version, with a lower price, a smaller system footprint, and less hardware requirements for PCs.
Liu Chuanzhi called Feng Yu immediately and asked Feng Yu's opinion on this matter.
Feng Yu asked back, what do you think?
The goals set at the beginning have already been fulfilled. Originally, Lianxiang Yinshan wanted to occupy 20% of the market share in the sales of new systems.
As a result, the sales of xos are almost the same as that of VisTa, and it has achieved a fifty-fifty split.
Of course, at this time, more users still choose the xp system. They have not replaced it yet, and they do not need to replace it now. Microsoft's market share is still far ahead.
Some users who originally planned to replace the xos system also decided not to replace it at this time. Although it is said that xos is very similar to xp, and it is better to use, but now it can be used as well as xp, so there is no need to replace it. Why spend that money?
When is it time to get a new computer, and then replace it with the system.
Liu Chuanzhi excitedly told Feng Yu that Microsoft had admitted failure and planned to launch the seventh-generation system. Microsoft has surrendered, we have defeated the mighty and mighty Microsoft!
