Chapter 1445 Microsoft Pledges Loss (Subscription Request)

Many people think it's strange for Microsoft to push the TAB project again, but Feng Yu understands Microsoft's true intentions.

Tab is either a Microsoft tablet or a prototype tablet, still using an XP system, a simplified version of the XP system.

Microsoft's VISTA system, with its Tab configuration, is not working at all, so if Microsoft is to continue promoting Tab, it must re-announce XP System Update Maintenance and start selling XP System again!

When Microsoft pushed TAB, it spent a lot of money and lost money. Microsoft thinks it's an advanced product that few people like at all, and sells much less than Microsoft expects.

Later, Microsoft stopped driving crazy and did not continue to upgrade the product, which, after all, was itself boycotted jointly by hardware and PC manufacturers.

You can't take over the software market like operating systems, and now you're taking over our market?

The performance configuration of that Tab, similar to the netbook at this time, may be a little short on the CPU. Turns out the sale price is about the same as IBM's premium business, how many people can buy it?

This product, of course, is also a Microsoft test. Test the attitude of the hardware and PC manufacturers to see if they will really come together to resist Microsoft.

As it turns out, the accessories Microsoft gets are the most expensive, although many of them are developed by themselves, but the cost is still high, and with the profit, of course, it's even more expensive, and there aren't many buyers.

At that time, the technology of touching the screen was not very good, even the scratching problem of the screen had not been solved. The product design concept is very advanced. Feng Yu actually likes it, but for technical reasons only, the product is very stubborn.

The original XP was actually for this R&D, it was upgraded in WIN2000. Otherwise, how could the XP system have been launched before WIN2000 was launched?

Later, it was discovered that XP was much better than WIN2000 and that the user response was very good, which led to the discontinuation of WIN2000 and the main push of the XP system.

And the XP system didn't disappoint Microsoft, and for a few years, it brought back several times as much profit for Microsoft!

So Microsoft failed on Tab, but the whole project, because of the XP system, Microsoft actually made money, but Tab failed.

But even so, many people were surprised to see Microsoft reinvigorate the Tab project and scale it up again, especially the PC manufacturers.

Microsoft, what are you doing? The competition with Silver Mountain is not over, and it is already in the downwind, now to touch the bottom line of our PC manufacturer?

Do you really think that you're still Microsoft? We PC manufacturers can no longer rely on Microsoft. If we don't have a contract, we can even just throw you off Microsoft!

XOS is so popular in the market right now, look at the VISTA you've developed, the bad reviews. How long has this been rolling out? Not even the compatibility of the application software has been solved.

And of course, there's another reason they support Microsoft, because they're worried that Silver Mountain is going to grow into another Microsoft, which is to kill one wolf and cultivate another.

So what's best for PC manufacturers is that Microsoft and Lenovo Silver Mountain are holding each other back, and they can even pull fruit companies into a three-country war.

Software prices are bound to keep falling, so their entire machines will be sold at a lower price, and their profits will outweigh those selling the software!

Now Microsoft is actually going to reinvigorate the TAB project, is this going to test their attitude, or is it going to tear their face apart and start encroaching on their market?

Where does Microsoft get the confidence to break their alliance? Unless Microsoft wasn't meant to sell Tab Tablets!

These PC vendors also understand what Microsoft is doing.

Instead of really selling PC products and robbing the market with them, Microsoft intends to find a reason to continue updating and selling XP systems!

This way, Microsoft sells two systems, but also reduces the price to XP systems and captures the market for XOS.

Microsoft can't say, because we're out of VISTA Street, XP won't stop updating, will it?

Even if the VISTA parade is over, Microsoft will not stop selling it. It will definitely continue selling both systems at the same time, and it will definitely have to develop a new 7th generation Windows operating system to go beyond XOS, regain the market and become the dominant operating system again!

To be perfectly clear, this Tab is a shy cloth Microsoft is looking for!

With these in mind, the PC manufacturers don't say anything anymore, and they don't think this product will succeed anyway. Touchscreen laptops are available from bigger PC manufacturers, Microsoft's creativity is not new.

And Microsoft's TAB value for money is definitely still very poor, it won't sell many units, it doesn't have much impact on their market.

Even they think that Microsoft's launch of the new Tab is probably worse than the previous one, because now that there's an internet book, more than $400 of product performance is not much like Tab's $2,000 performance, but the price is several times worse, and consumers are retarded to buy your Microsoft Tab?

Unless Microsoft is able to innovate, and this innovation, it's not the kind of innovation that I feel is good, but consumers feel it's useless, and it's necessary to really innovate.

Indeed, three days later, Microsoft announced that, as a result of the re-launch of the Tab project, the XP system would be relaunched to the market at a price that had been reduced previously and promised to continue to be updated for at least eight years.

At the same time, the VISTA system will also launch the Enterprise and Flagship versions, which are simplified, less expensive, take up less space and require less hardware for PCs.

Liu Jianzhi called Feng Yu for the first time to ask his views on the matter.

Feng Yu asked, what do you think?

The original targets had already been exceeded. It was originally thought that Silver Mountain wanted to have a market share of 20% on the sales of the new system.

And now, XOS sales, almost flat with VISTA, are five or five.

Of course, more users chose the XP system at this time, and they haven't replaced it yet, and they don't need to replace it now. Microsoft's market share remains far ahead.

Some users who had originally planned to replace the XOS system decided not to replace it at this time. Although XOS is very similar to XP and works better, XP works just as well now, no need to replace it, why spend that money?

When do you want to replace the new computer and replace it with the system?

Liu Xuezhi was very excited to tell Feng Yu that Microsoft had admitted that it had failed and intended to develop a seventh generation system. Microsoft admitted to losing, we defeated the powerful and inexhaustible Microsoft!
