Win9 should be free?

Computer shop news: The news said that Win9 will be released in April 2015, and there is not much news about Windows9. However, the price issue of Win9 is the biggest dilemma for users and Microsoft, because Microsoft hopes that Win9 can create a new sales record for its operating system, and the number of users can be greatly increased at the beginning of the release.

When talking about Win9 prices, ZDNet said that the free Win9 license will be a guarantee for Microsoft's success, especially considering the disappointing performance of Windows 8.

Stifel Nicolaus analyst Brad Reback also said that free Windows is perhaps the only option for Microsoft to compete with Google and Apple. Opening Win9 to manufacturers for free can produce more devices that run the system, while lowering prices, thus increasing sales of Windows PCs and tablets.

Reback explained: "Overview of the entire operating system market (mobile/tablet/PC), Microsoft is the only vendor with a clear charge. We think this will not work in the future. "

Previously, Microsoft solved its price problem by offering Win8.1 discounts to manufacturers, since the number of users since the release of Win8 has been very small.

Win9 is naturally an opportunity for Microsoft to change the status quo, because Microsoft needs to carefully consider all aspects of Win9.
