Windows 8 sales are not good

Computer store news: Computerworld website published a review article titled "Microsoft encounters "summer summer", Win8 sales are not good & ldquo; "Additional" "The details are as follows: If anyone Is there any more bad news that Microsoft has received this summer? The answer is yes! The latest survey results show that the growth of Windows8 market share has encountered many obstacles, and its future path may be even more difficult.
According to data released by market research firm Net Applications, Windows 8 accounted for 5.9% of Windows devices worldwide in July this year, a 0.3% increase from the previous month. The above increase was only one-third of the increase in the same period in June, and this figure is about one-half of Windows 8's share in November last year. Some analysts pointed out that this means that the growth of Windows 8 market share is basically stagnant. The author believes that Windows 8 market share growth has stalled. For Windows 8 such a new operating system, it is really "worry", to know that Windows 8 is less than 10 months. Market research firm IDC released data that a major reason for the resistance of Windows 8 market share expansion is that the global PC market shipments fell by 11%. However, the author believes that the cause of personal PCs falling out of favor is that consumers are not flustered by Windows 8. Windows 8 market share growth has stalled for Microsoft, which is experiencing “summer summer”, which is undoubtedly “worry”. Microsoft's latest earnings report recently showed no bright spots in its performance. In addition, Microsoft also announced that Microsoft will reduce its revenue by $900 million for the purpose of digesting Surface RT inventory. In order to stimulate consumers' desire to buy, Microsoft has adopted a way to promote sales. The price of the Microsoft Surface tablet has dropped by US$150, and Microsoft has also reduced the price of the Surface tablet with Windows 8 by $100. This is another perspective. Reflecting the sales of Windows 8 has become a headache for Microsoft. What made Microsoft feel hurt was that its partners began to question their ability. The chairman of ASUS, Shi Chongxi, said that the prospect of ASUS launching Windows RT tablet is not optimistic. ASUS even said it is ready to give up research and development support and cooperation for Windows RT products. Just last week, Microsoft lost a trademark infringement lawsuit in the UK, which meant that Microsoft had to rename its online network disk service SkyDrive. Prior to this, Microsoft had spent millions of dollars to cultivate the brand image of SkyDrive, and now it has to spend more money to reshape its entire brand. The new new brand image and naming are not yet determined. In fact, the bad news about Microsoft is more than just mentioned above. The author believes that Microsoft at this time is somewhat similar to the 1962 US Metropolitan baseball team. The Metropolitan baseball team reached a record 120 games in the same year, when the team was called "the worst team in the market". At the time, the head coach of the US baseball legend, Casey · Casey Stengel once said after a loss: "No one can play this game?" & rdquo; By 1969, the Metropolitan baseball team won the World Professional Baseball Championship, and the team also won the "Mad City baseball team miracle" reputation. The cosmopolitan baseball team's accomplishments are the two top players in the team, Nolan Ryan and Tom & Middot; Tom Seaver. The author believes that if Microsoft wants to climb the top again, it must find a "soul character" like Ryan and Siver, but now it seems that Microsoft does not have such a talent. Perhaps Microsoft's recovery can only pin its hopes on the end of the summer of this year.
