XP eight-year binding user Windows7 "Wo Lidou"

Windows XP launched in 2001, has become the biggest obstacle to Microsoft's new operating system Windows 7. XP has eclipsed Vista for a few years, and it has also disrupted the pace of Microsoft's replacement of operating systems by 80% of PC users worldwide every three years.

An important task of Windows 7 is to let XP completely withdraw from the historical arena and become the mainstream operating system platform from high-performance PC to ultra-portable netbook. To this end, Microsoft has learned the lesson from Vista. Windows 7 has the taste of "unsuccessful and arrogant". The continuous introduction of two unpopular operating systems is the result that Microsoft can't bear.

In terms of hardware, according to a survey released by Softchoice, in North America, 88 out of every 100 enterprise PCs can run Microsoft Windows 7 system, and when Microsoft released Vista three years ago. Only 50% of enterprise PCs in the same region can meet the minimum hardware requirements of Vista.

The data shows that 93% of PCs in the enterprise are still running Windows XP eight years ago, and 4% are running Windows 2000 ten years ago, and only 3% are running Windows Vista.

Before, Vista was dubbed "feed it" by Chinese users, because users need to spend a lot of money to update their computer hardware when they want to use the operating system, in order to meet Vista's "appetite." For the shortcomings of Vista, this Windows7 has made a lot of improvements. For example, the problem is that the system is too large, the hardware requirements are high, and the memory is too much.

" After optimization, I am confident that Windows 7 will be faster than XP, and it will be smaller and lighter." Microsoft insiders said that Windows 7 will become "slim" and solve the problem of slow boot and memory. More questions.

And, after the release of Vista, users found that after using Vista, many software and hardware could not be compatible with it, they had to uninstall it and continue to use XP. This time Microsoft has also tried its best.

In order to ensure the compatibility of Windows 7 and hardware, Microsoft has counted all kinds of hardware popular in the market, there are 28,000 kinds, especially the software of Internet banking and USB Key, 3G network card and Internet TV. Cards are compatible with Windows 7. Microsoft China claims that Windows 7 is compatible with 91% of the existing applications in the Chinese market, 92% of hardware devices, and 95% of websites.

In addition, Microsoft realized that the user's use of XP has been customary, which is why Vista can not let users give up XP. Zhang Yaqin, senior vice president of Microsoft Global, said that Windows 7 has done a subtraction of the operating system, making the user more concise and rich in features.

CBN reporter experienced two Lenovo netbooks with the same configuration of Windows7 and XP respectively. The boot speed of the two netbooks is quite the same, but the boot screen and the user interface of Windows7 are more dazzling.

Microsoft China also selected pictures of Chinese styles such as Great Wall, Huangshan and Lijiang on the background of the desktop, and set up a boot tone composed of a variety of oriental instruments.

Wei Qing, general manager of Microsoft China Consumer and Online Marketing Department, told CBN reporters that Windows 7 needs to be a "revolutionary" product, allowing users to find a long-lost experience before they can succeed.

At the market level, in order to launch Windows 7, Microsoft has used an unprecedented force to combat piracy, eradicating pirated download sources such as "Tomato Garden" in China. At the same time, Microsoft China's pricing has achieved an unprecedented low price. The Windows7 Home Edition pre-sale price is 399 yuan, which is Microsoft's lowest-priced Windows operating system in China, and is one of the lowest selling prices in the world.

Despite all the hard work, XP's vitality will still be amazing and tenacious. As far as the reporter himself is concerned, XP has been with him for eight years. One of the computers has not been reinstalled once in four years, and it is no problem to use it until now. Therefore, many XP users will have a huge use of inertia, enough to use, "too lazy" to reload and replace. But maybe I will try Windows 7 with my own computer, because Microsoft has used enough resources and efforts to give Windows 7 "really good" expectations.
