"Why are you all keeping quiet? The monthly sales figures are out today. Even if the sales are not good, it should not be too bad."
Feng Yu sat on the sofa and looked at the LCD screen in front of him. Lenovo Kingsoft's top executives are on the screen.
"Director Feng, the monthly sales figures are out. The comparison between Win7 and XOS 2.0 is out. They own 53% of the market share, and we only own 40% of the market share. The Fruit Company owns 5% of the market share. There are also some other operating systems that own about 2% of the market share. "
In the world, Microsoft, Lenovo Kingsoft, and Fruit are not the only companies producing PC operating systems. There are other companies, but their market share is decreasing. Even if they did not disappear completely, they will not grow any stronger.
At first, Qiu Bojun and the rest were still confident that XOS 2.0 will be able to compete with Win7 at the same time and at the same price. Even if the XOS 2.0 will lag behind Win7, it will not be more than 5%. But now, the gap is 13%, and this is even with the support of Lenovo Group, the world's top PC manufacturer.
In terms of marketing, Lenovo Kingsoft had spent more money on marketing, and the profits were higher. Win7's reputation is about the same as Win7, and some of its functions are even better. Why are the users so supportive of Win7?
Could it be that Microsoft's position in the PC industry is unshakable?
Luckily, Feng Yu had hoped for at least 40% of the market share. Now, it seems that it is still within his expectations. But Feng Yu did not expect Win7 to perform so well. The last time, Vista's reputation and performance were not bad. How did Microsoft get the upper hand?
Maybe Microsoft had negotiated some new agreements with those PC manufacturers to make them support Microsoft more.
"Lenovo Group's sales are decreasing?" Feng Yu asked.
"No. It is still increasing. Excluding L-Pad, Lenovo Group's market share for this month is almost 20%."
Although the rest of the industry is declining, Lenovo Group's sales are increasing. It is not a lot, but its market share is increasing. This is because the other PC manufacturers' sales had fallen.
"The other PC manufacturers had violated our agreement? Shouldn't the proportion of PC with XOS 2.0 be higher in the first month? Does that mean that the sales of the XOS 2.0 system installed are not good? "
Feng Yu frowned. That shouldn't be the case. He had used it himself. The second generation of the system was much better than the first. There were many new features, and its performance was definitely not worse than Win 7. In fact, it was even better in many aspects. Could it be that it was because of the user's inertia?
"The manufacturers didn't violate our agreement. We gave them so much profit, so they will naturally increase their efforts to promote PCs with our system installed. In fact, the PC pre-installed with our operating system is selling better than the PC pre-installed with Microsoft operating system. But most of the users are buying the PC pre-installed with XOS! "
Qiu Bojun was a little depressed. We have launched a new generation of operating system, which is equivalent to a new model of electronic products. Why is the sales of the new model not so good? Why are the consumers buying the old model?
Feng Yu's eyes lit up. "Then how are the machines for our first generation selling? How are our overall sales?"
The selling price of this first generation system is very low, and it comes with a lot of Lenovo Kingsoft's original software.
The XOS first generation system still had at least five years of major security updates. In other words, it was not outdated. It is just like XP, which still has security updates. It can still be used, and it is very cheap.
Many people only use the PC to browse the web, watch videos, play games, etc. The old operating system can still be used.
Even before Feng Yu's rebirth, the number of XP users is only second to Win7. It is much higher than Win8, Win10, and Vista. Even the combined use of these three operating systems is not as high as XP.
At that time, Microsoft had stopped its services for XP.
Feng Yu does not want to compete with Microsoft for the overall market share. They cannot compete with Microsoft immediately. Currently, XP users still account for more than half of the PC users. Lenovo Kingsoft's two generations of operating systems are not as good as XP, let alone Microsoft's Vista and Win7.
Feng Yu is concerned about the market share of the new products. XOS first generation and Vista are still selling, and this should be included in the statistics. This is the real comparison between the two companies.
"If we include the monthly sales of the previous two generations of operating systems, we own 54% of the market share, and Microsoft only owns 40%. Apple owns about 5%, and the rest is slightly more than 1%. Those PC manufacturers are very satisfied with our first generation of operating systems, and they are trying their best to market it. "
Microsoft had stopped their PC manufacturers from pre-installing XP, and all their new products are only available for Vista and Win7. Obviously, it was to promote Win 7.
Win7 is worth promoting, and it is much better than Vista, which is called sh * t by the netizens. The users are also more satisfied with it.
Actually, XP did not stop selling completely. Microsoft is still selling discs, pre-installed PCs, and paid downloads are still on sale. But all the new PCs are no longer pre-installed with XP, except for tablets.
Windows 7's sales had overshadowed XOS 2.0, but Microsoft had lost to Windows 7 in terms of overall performance.
Feng Yu snapped his fingers. "Very good. Our first generation is selling well, and this is a good thing. We can eliminate XP as soon as possible and increase our market share. "
"Remember to continue to provide good services and increase the users' recognition of our brand. In the future, when they choose a new generation of operating systems, they will think of us first. When they want to use some applications, they will think of us first!"
Feng Yu knew why Qiu Bojun is unhappy. It is because the profits of the first generation of operating systems are too low.
The first generation of operating systems is too low. The home version is only selling for 19 USD, and the flagship version is selling for 59 USD. It is the same as the second generation of the home version, and it is much lower than Microsoft's Vista and XP.
Although the sales and market share of the first generation of operating systems had increased, the profits had decreased. If only the users had bought the second generation of operating systems.
Lenovo Kingsoft had even suggested to limit the number of operating systems installed on the first generation of operating systems. They will not install it on the high-end PCs and will install it on those low-end netbooks.
But Feng Yu rejected this suggestion. At this time, he cannot separate the operating systems and will let the users choose. The second generation of operating systems is competing with Win7, and many people who did not pay attention to Lenovo Kingsoft had started to pay attention to XOS. They are willing to buy a first generation of operating systems to test it out. If it is good, they will buy a second generation to upgrade it.
"Alright. Everyone is doing well. Maintain this momentum, and don't worry. If we can maintain this share for two to three years, Lenovo Kingsoft will be the industry leader!"
