Microsoft Vista puzzle

Windows Vista is facing difficulties, that it will lose the right direction to solve the problem.

According to the survey, 90% of users said that even if the price reduction would not choose Vista, but will continue to use XP, and 84% of large enterprises is a PC running Windows XP system. Moreover, these users are looking forward to the release of XP SP3.

research firm Forrester Research analyst Benjamin Gray that, Windows Vista's biggest competitor is not Linux, but Vista's

Some experts believe that Microsoft is addressing the puzzle of a Windows Vista, the cost is too high is only a problem within the puzzle.



First, because the version of Vista released too much, resulting in a loss on consumer choice. IT stores within the counters before each brand of computer,Office Standard 2010 Key, the reporter found that most consumers to buy PC, do not know which version suitable for them, but depending to the hardware configuration, different pre-installed in accordance with the recommendation of dealers Vista.

Second, and most users are headache, Vista, there are still many hardware and software incompatibility.



once more, Vista hardware requirements are too high. Some even use the meet installation requirements of the PC, Vista users will complain that some games running under Vista speed, the effect is not as good under XP.

Vista have a chance to do

Objectively speaking, even if Vista compatibility issues exist, but in security, stability, convenience, and in terms of user interface, Vista or remarkable.

However, for Vista to replace XP truly a next-generation operating system, in addition to price cuts, Microsoft has a lot of homework to do.

First of all, to solve Vista compatibility problems.

It is said that, Vista SP1 be released soon. Hopefully SP1 and timely release of the patch in the future, can effectively solve the compatibility problem.

Secondly,Windows 7 Home Basic, the adjustment of Vista on the Vista hardware requirements and reduce the loss of system resources. Some analysts have pointed out that the high hardware requirements Vista, release timing is not good enough. The reason is that large-scale industry-accepted PC replacement cycle of 3 years, Vista just in time for the cycle of both units of the user, or individual users, are unlikely to aggressively try new operating system upgrade hardware.

allegedly present in some developing countries, Microsoft plans to release some relaxation simplified version of Vista hardware requirements for the system. The move if effective, will help additional users in a timely manner using Vista, without direct transition from XP to Windows 7.

also worth noting as well as its promotion strategy. For example, how to master the Vista cost cuts and the timing of Vista SP1 released, and coordinate the relationship between Vista and XP.

Microsoft seems to realize is not good, and make the appropriate adjustments. According to Microsoft's plan, the price is Vista and Vista SP1 released simultaneously, but postponed the release of XP SP3.

easy to see that Microsoft has made these issues accordingly. However, the crack Vista puzzle, the most critical issues, ultimately the user experience.

a senior software vendors think that if Microsoft is to enhance communication with users, allowing even more users, especially the enterprise users to experience the value of Vista, and enjoy a alot more convenient service, Vista or a great opportunity.
