Seven lessons from Vista to Microsoft (1)

Uncle gates finally announced with relief on WinHEC 2007 that the shipment of Vista, the most complex and difficult operating system in Microsoft's history, is the channel shipment, rather than the actual purchase volume) more than 40 million copies were handed in a transcript that did not disappoint shareholders.

However, the history of Windows Vista after its birth can be described as Bumpy. Both users and the media have very low comments on Vista, and many independent investigation reports still have various questions about Vista.

Let us forget the brilliant Special Effects of Vista Aero, the confident speeches of gates, the tempting lines in Microsoft's advertisements, and the mistakes made by Microsoft during its launch of Vista, review how much experience and lessons Vista has taught Microsoft.

The new generation of Windows is still in the early stages of development and has become a repeat for Blogger. If the original Blogger is just curious and is very interested in Vista, in the later stages, Blogger gave a close speech and demanded the trend of Vista. In a sense, Microsoft has become the victim of "a few who are unwilling to silence.

When Microsoft announced a variety of gratifying data at a shareholder meeting, such as a low return rate, fast demand growth, and a small number of system crash reports, the bloggers complained about Vista's low efficiency and poor program compatibility, "Fake OS X ".

When Windows XP was released, the Blog network was far from a climate. Now, Microsoft has to consider how to deal with Blogger's lip and tongue.

2. Do not give the critics the opportunity to "seek advice ".

When talking about Vista almost every time, Microsoft's senior personnel talk about the words "Rich drivers and stronger software and hardware compatibility". What is the matter of fact? Poor compatibility with printers, slower support for high-end graphics cards, and conflicts between iTunes and Vista.

Microsoft defended: this is not a problem for us, but a problem for other vendors/companies.

Gartner's analysis reveals that the quality of Vista's final beta code is equivalent to that of XP's early beta, making it difficult for numerous third-party developers to follow up in a timely manner.

3. How can I use a chicken knife to kill cows?

Common users complain most about Vista because Vista occupies too much system resources. In other words, Microsoft has set the lowest configuration of Vista above the mainstream configuration in the market. In order to obtain sufficient sales, even the ome pc, which cannot achieve the smooth operation of Vista, is labeled as "Vista Ready". New PC users directly feel the limited performance on the Vista system.
