Windows7: Good thing is done 90%

Different from Hong Kong, the old Windows users in mainland China, whether you are using genuine WinXP or genuine Vista, the only option to upgrade to Win7 is to buy the retail version of Win7 CD. Microsoft's poor care for Chinese users is also due to the upgrade of Win7.

If a good thing is done 90%, and 10% is not completed, this is undoubtedly depressing and ignoring. Microsoft has done such a thing on the release of Windows 7 (Win7 for short).

From the product itself, Win7 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 Win7 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 Win7 Home Premium is priced at 199.99 dollars. 1365 yuan), and there is a lower-priced Win7 family regular version 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. Win7 of 399 yuan is an example.

There are good products, and 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 Win7, 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 Win7; in the Hong Kong market, Microsoft has special discounts for students who use genuine editions. Upgrade Win7 Professional Edition for only HK$599, upgrade Win7 Ultimate. HK$699. But old Windows users in mainland China, whether you are using genuine WinXP or genuine Vista, the only option to upgrade to Win7 is to buy a retail version of Win7 CD.

Microsoft's poor care for Chinese users is also due to the upgrade of Win7. The 399 yuan Win7 is an ideal entry option for most users, but Microsoft prefers to purchase the Win7 Home Basic Edition and then upgrade to a more advanced Home Premium, Professional or even Ultimate. Liang Nianjian, CEO of Microsoft Greater China, on the 23rd in Beijing's Win7 release site, deliberately showed Chinese users how to "take a short 10 minutes" from Win7 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 Win7? This question asked Liang Nian to avoid answering.

After the event, the reporter learned from the Microsoft China 800 customer service hotline that the Win7 home regular version upgrade to the home premium version costs 443 yuan, from the home premium version to the professional version needs to spend 790 yuan, upgrade to the flagship version needs to spend 1900 yuan.

Microsoft hopes that all Chinese users will buy Win7. Please ask yourself if you have already told the Chinese users about Windows7. Don't do good things and do 90% of the time. .
