Windows7 is out of stock There are still software compatibility issues

windows7 has been officially listed for 2 days, as Microsoft Windows 7 3C channel starting partner, Suning Appliance started win7 sales in Lenovo Bridge store on Saturday. However, according to the market reaction, windows7 is already in short supply. As for the specific figures of Microsoft's supply, there is no specific figure. Some insiders believe that this is likely to be Microsoft's "hunger marketing."

Suning Appliance thought that the person in charge said, "We put 70% of the goods in the Lenovo Bridge. We sold more than 100 sets that day." The person said that the previous stocking has been sold almost because of Microsoft's offer. The supply of goods is limited. At present, consumers are still difficult to buy in most Suning stores, and reservation is required.

Reasonable prices for Windows 7 have attracted many consumers. It is understood that the Windows 7 system is divided into four versions: Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate. The pre-sale price of Windows7 Home Edition is only 399 yuan, which is the Windows operating system that Microsoft has always sold at the lowest price in China. It is 100 yuan lower than the listing price of 499 yuan in Vista family, Windows 7 Home Premium 699. The pre-sale price of the yuan is also 200 yuan lower than the same version of Vista.

Suning Appliance related people said that they have reached an agreement with Microsoft to sell genuine Windows 7 in 100 stores nationwide, but large-scale distribution may have to wait until the end of November.

There is also a message from windows7 itself, a London-based automated testing company ChangeBase has tested 20 large enterprise users, all of which use more than a thousand applications. ChangeBase found that 60% to 80% of applications still need to be adjusted to be fully compatible with Windows 7.

The general manager of ChangeBase said that software compatibility is still one of the biggest challenges facing Microsoft. He also pointed out that the compatibility problems of these existences are not serious. To some extent, software compatibility depends on how well the company is patient with these issues. For example, installation difficulties and failure to display help pages will not cause too much trouble for some companies.

ChrangeBase has found a serious compatibility issue during the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7. “About 8% to 12% of the software can run on Vista, but it doesn't support Win 7.” the manager said.

So for the domestic market, with the release of windows7, users' feedback on their operability and compatibility needs to be further understood.
