In the first month, Microsoft is ahead of Windows 7 and XOS 2.0. Some media started to brag about Microsoft, claiming that Microsoft is telling Lenovo Kingsoft that if they are serious, they will not win.
But they forgot that Lenovo Kingsoft had only been in the PC industry for a few years, and they had only introduced their second generation operating system. The competition of operating systems is not only about operating systems. It also includes other applications.
For example, if you want to play a movie, you need a video player. Microsoft will use their video player, and Lenovo Kingsoft will use their own video player.
The biggest change in Lenovo Kingsoft's video player is the ability to download and play at the same time. Actually, this is not a new feature. Video websites had already used this feature for a long time. But the netizens love this feature.
Many video games are free to download and cannot be played online. For example, movies. These are the most popular websites in the world. This has been the case since ancient times.
If you use my operating system, then all the applications will be using my operating system. Some of these applications are free, and some are charged. Apple is good at doing this. Some people even say that Apple's PC is used to sell applications.
There are still browsers, office software, photo editing software, etc. All these represent profits.
Why is Microsoft still extending the maintenance period for XP when its sales are so low? This is because XP is the world's most used PC operating system and has the most users. These users are the potential customers of other applications.
That's why Windows 7's sales might be higher than XOS 2.0, but Lenovo Kingsoft had the lead over all the new operating systems. Feng Yu felt that he had won.
The three leaders in Microsoft gathered again for a discussion. When they saw the overall sales figures, they could not bring themselves to laugh.
Apple had increased their marketing efforts and got lots of orders. Their new products are selling well, and their market share had increased by more than 1%!
Microsoft does not care about 1%. But Lenovo Kingsoft's overall sales are much higher than Microsoft's. This made Microsoft pay more attention to them.
"Our Windows 7 is so useful and has so many new features. Why are our sales not increasing? Is it because we did not do enough marketing?" Paul Allen asked.
Ballmer shook his head. "We have already done a lot of marketing. Although it's not as good as XOS 2.0, it's more than what we did for VISTA. The marketing fees are already very high. We might not be able to earn much from Windows 7 sales this year."
"The main reason is that the current economic situation is not good. Many people have bought the cheaper XOS first generation system. Our XP users have decreased by too much, and the sales of VISTA have not increased."
In order to develop an operating system, they had to spend tens of billions of dollars on research and development. Although the profits of software were high, the sales of new software were not that high. Many users still insisted on using the old system. It was not that they did not want to upgrade, but they could not bear to part with the money.
The global economic crisis had not completely passed. Two months ago, Obama had asked the heads of many countries to discuss how to stimulate economic recovery.
Everyone had no money on hand, and they might not even be willing to buy a new system, let alone a new computer. Moreover, even if some people were willing to change to a new system, their computer configuration was too old and could not be used at all.
Now, electronic products were being updated too quickly. In the previous century, a new generation would be updated every 10 years to 5 years. In this century, it had changed from 5 years to 3 years. Now, there would be an important technological upgrade every 1 and a half years.
From the CPU frequency evolution, multi-core evolution, to the memory card capacity evolution, graphics card capacity evolution, hard disk capacity evolution, screen resolution evolution, camera pixel evolution, and all electronic components' low power and high performance evolution. All these evolutions were getting faster and faster.
In the previous century, some experts had predicted that the technological upgrade of electronic products would be shortened to 1 and a half years. Some people even said it would take 6 months.
At that time, most people thought the person who said this was an idiot. We might not be able to upgrade our products even after a few years, and you said there will be an important upgrade in 1 and a half years?
But at that time, Feng Yu did not doubt this. This was because before his rebirth, many electronic products had important changes every year.
This year, the mainstream camera's pixel is still 5 million. Next year, it will be 8 million. After another year, it will be 10 million. In the future, a 20 million pixel camera can appear in a small mobile phone.
20 years ago, when someone said a mobile phone can take pictures, surf the internet, and watch movies, others will think this person is dreaming. Compared to 20 years ago, the current technology was like black technology.
The times were changing too fast, and many people did not expect it. In the past, people thought that a PC can be used for the rest of their lives like a TV. At least 20 to 30 years.
But now, people realized that a PC will be outdated in 2 to 3 years.
What are the requirements for XP, and what are the requirements for Win 7? Many PCs that were installed with Win 7 are useless as they will not be able to move around.
The sad thing was that VISTA also had higher hardware requirements. Some older models of computers were also not compatible. They could either continue to use XP, or if they wanted to change the system, they could only choose the first generation of XOS. The second generation was also not compatible.
Now, the sales of Win 7, VISTA, XOS 1, and XOS 2 are 8: 1: 6: 5. Microsoft's Win 7 is still the best-selling PC. But Lenovo Kingsoft is leading in terms of overall sales of new products.
Especially Lenovo Group's PC sales. Their PC sales had increased by a large margin.
Feng Yu had also posted a picture on Facebook, Twitter, etc. He is using a Lenovo laptop, and it's also Lenovo. Everyone saw this. The World's Richest Man must be using the best products. Since he is using Lenovo, that means Lenovo's products must be the best.
Many people had forgotten that Taihua Holdings is Lenovo Group's major shareholder. If Feng Yu does not use his own company's products, who else will he use?
Bill Gates knocked on the table twice. "There is no hope for Vista's sales. All the PC manufacturers are not willing to release their PC with Vista installed. We are only left with the CD and online sales. Win 7 is still popular. Although many users complain that it is expensive and not as good as advertised, we had adjusted the version of the operating system, and these negative comments were suppressed. "
"But because of this, we will have to give some of our profits to those greedy PC manufacturers. Our overall profits will not reach our expectations."
"I think we must speed up the development of Win Phone and launch it at the end of the year!"
