Windows 7 system disputes a lot
As early as late last year, the Windows 7 operating system Beta version was already on the web, and many users experienced the power of Microsoft's upcoming Windows 7 system in the first time. And many PC manufacturers have pledged to provide free Windows 7 operating system upgrade services, Lenovo has announced this year June 26 to next January 31 to buy their products users, random with Windows Vista system, including home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions are available for free upgrades. And before Lenovo proposed this preferential policy, HP has launched a similar free upgrade services, the recent purchase of users will be October 22, after the free upgrade to Windows 7.
Enterprise deployment
The enterprise deployment of Microsoft operating system is very important to the related enterprises, in the enterprise market, for a new operating system, only after the release of the SP1 service pack, the enterprise will consider the deployment. Enterprise users who have not yet deployed Windows Vista recommend that you skip Vista and wait 6 months to deploy Windows 7 directly, eliminating the redundancy and time costs associated with upgrading Windows 7 after you deploy Vista, and deploying Windows directly 7 can effectively ensure the overall deployment of the enterprise operating norms, thereby improving efficiency.
"The resources required to deploy Windows 7 and Vista are basically the same, and are only postponed for less than 6 months," said Gartner analyst Michael Silvo Michael Silve and Stephen Krehans (Stephen kleynhans). But the advantages of deploying Windows 7 are self-evident. "And the enterprise user who is deploying Vista, Gartner believes it can continue, but will upgrade to WINDOWWS 7 by the end of 2010 or 2011." By the end of 2012, all enterprises will be upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 to avoid software compatibility issues.
Competitor evaluations: There's little change in the vista ratio.
The advance of the Windows 7 operating system has aroused widespread concern, Bertrand Serlet, Apple executive Bertrand Selette, said earlier in the Global Developers Conference (WWDC) that Microsoft Windows 7 was essentially Windows Vista. Like Microsoft's previous versions of Windows, Windows 7 is still so complex. "Fundamentally, windows 7 is just another version of Windows Vista." ”
Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth, who attended the Open source China World Summit in 2009, told reporters about his own view of the Windows 7 operating system: Windows7 has improved a lot more than the previous Windows products, We cannot say that our competitors have improved, we say it is not good, and if our competitors do well, we will agree.
Windows 7 operating system does not have IE browser?
The release of the Windows 7 operating system has brought a lot of regrets to many users, since the autumn European version of the Windows operating system will not include IE 8 browser, of course, for personal user applications may not affect, but believe that for bulk enterprise procurement and enterprise deployment will also increase the relevant application costs.
The Windows operating system, released in Europe this autumn, will not contain IE 8 browsers, according to relevant media reports.

Windows 7 Price leads controversy
About the Windows 7 operating system, I believe that many ordinary users and enterprise-class users are most concerned about the price problem. According to media reports, Microsoft has announced Windows 7 prices, a minimum of 119.99 dollars, and a 8% lower than the same version of Vista. "I am very disappointed with the upgrade price," said Stephen Baker, an analyst at NPD Group, Stephen Beck. Once upon a time, I wanted Microsoft to be more aggressive and solve all of Vista's problems with a shot. 120 dollar pricing is crazy, you know, now buy a computer is only 300 dollars. ”
The Windows 7 operating system consists of 6 versions, Windows 7 Starter (primary), Windows 7 Home Basic (family based), Windows 7 Home Premium (Family Advanced Edition), Windows 7 Pro Fessional (Professional Edition), Windows 7 Enterprise (Enterprise Edition), and Windows 7 Ultimate (flagship edition).
Some time ago Apple launched Mac OS X 10.6, a single user priced only 29 U.S. dollars, five people 49 dollars. According to tradition, the system upgrade price is 129 dollars. Stephen Beck said: "Apple's price mix is clearly easier to accept, but also to improve customer satisfaction." How I wish Microsoft would go in that direction. ”
