Windows7 good things do 90%: mainland users upgrade care is not good

Different from the United States Hong Kong, old Windows users in mainland China, whether you are using genuine WinXP or genuine Vista, the only option to upgrade to Windows7 is to buy retail Version of the Windows 7 CD. Microsoft's poor care for Chinese users is also due to the upgrade of Windows 7.

If 90% of a good thing is done, and 10% is not completed, this is undoubtedly depressing and arrogant. Microsoft has done such a thing on the release of Windows 7.

From the product itself, Windows7 is "the best product Microsoft has in the past decade". I believe that not many people will object. It is more gorgeous than WinXP, more reliable than Vista, and also for Chinese users. Very attractive. The price of Windows 7 in China is also attractive to some extent, because its price in China is the lowest in the world: the home premium version is priced at 699 yuan, while the US market Windows7 Home Premium is priced at 199.99 dollars. 1365 yuan), and there is a lower-priced Windows7 Home Edition in the Chinese market, priced at only 399 yuan. Microsoft China has repeatedly stressed that it has deliberately lowered the price threshold for Chinese users to purchase genuine Win7, and Windows 399 is an example.

There are good products, there are prices specially set for Chinese users, is it enough? No, we have to say that Microsoft has not done enough for Chinese users. The relatively low price makes it possible for more Chinese users to purchase Windows 7, but what about the old users who are using genuine WinXP and Vista? In the US market, Microsoft provides upgrade packages for genuine WinXP and Vista users to upgrade to Windows 7; in the Hong Kong market, Microsoft has special discounts for students who use genuine editions. Upgrade Windows 7 Professional Edition for only HK$599, upgrade Windows7 Ultimate as long as HK$699. But old Windows users in mainland China, whether you are using genuine WinXP or genuine Vista, the only option to upgrade to Windows7 is to buy a retail version of Windows7 CD.

Microsoft's poor care for Chinese users is also due to the upgrade of Windows7. Windows 399 for 399 yuan is an ideal entry option for most users, but Microsoft prefers to purchase Windows 7 Home Basic Edition and then spend money to upgrade to a more advanced Home Premium, Professional or even Ultimate. Liang Nianjian, CEO of Microsoft Greater China, on the 23rd in Beijing's Windows7 release site, specifically demonstrated to Chinese users how to "take a short 10 minutes" from Windows7 Home Basic to Home Premium. It’s a good thing to upgrade users, it’s a good thing, but how much does Chinese users have to upgrade to a newer version of Windows 7? This question asked Liang Nian to avoid answering.

Afterwards, the reporter learned from the Microsoft China 800 customer service hotline that it takes 443 yuan to upgrade the Windows7 Home Basic Edition to the Home Premium Edition. It takes 790 yuan to upgrade from the Home Premium Edition to the Professional Edition. It takes 1900 to upgrade to the Ultimate Edition. yuan.

Microsoft wants everyone in China to buy Windows7. Please ask yourself if you have already told the Chinese users about Windows7. Don't do 90% of the work and don't do the remaining 10%. .
