Microsoft will upgrade vista free to Windows 7

NetEase Science and technology news Beijing time June 25 according to foreign websites, Microsoft said in Thursday, Windows 7 system prices are basically the same as Vista, and allow the October 22 new system to buy the computer before the users free upgrade to Windows 7.

To attract users who are not ready to buy a new computer, Microsoft says it will offer a limited reservation for a price as low as 50 dollars. Users who purchased Windows Vista Home Premium, Enterprise, and flagship have been able to contact their computer manufacturer since Friday and upgrade to Windows 7 free after October 22.

The company said it expects 2.3 billion dollars in revenue to be deferred to the next few quarters. In addition, Microsoft has announced the price of Windows 7 versions. The Windows 7 Home Premium Edition is $120, cheaper than the Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, and the price of Windows 7 Professional and flagship editions is 200 and $220, which is the same price as the same version of Windows Vista.

Both XP system computers and Vista system computers are treated equally for upgrades to Windows 7 o'clock. To boost initial sales and influence, Microsoft is prepared to cut the scheduled price of Windows 7 by half, with the family premium of $50 and the Professional edition of 100 dollars. Since Friday, consumers in the United States, Canada and Japan have been able to book their bookings from the UK, France and Germany from July 15 onwards. The reservation will last for about 2 weeks, but the scheduled quantity is limited. Consumers can go to Microsoft's download site or buy new systems from retailers like Best Buy.

Earlier this month, Microsoft said it had decided to sell Windows 7, which was not bundled with IE, in Europe to avoid another antitrust penalty. But Brad Brooks, Microsoft's vice-president for Windows marketing, said the company had no time to produce a European version of the system, so that at least before the end of the year, European consumers could only buy a full version of Windows 7 at an upgrade price.
