In March 20, Microsoft released the official IE8.0 browser worldwide, and the Chinese version was also included in one of the first releases. The browser provides better performance, more convenient network R & D tools, and improves security and reliability. However, IE8.0 is only applicable to Windows operating systems, which not only limits Microsoft's development, but also makes the development of the netbook market inconvenient. Last week, the transaction volume of the computer hardware sector was 1897699 shares, up 49.54% from the previous week.
IE8.0 direct to Operating System
As a "window" to the Internet, browsers have always been a "point of contention" for major network companies ". In the first browser war, Microsoft bound Internet Explorer in the operating system, laying a dominant position in the market. According to Wei Qing, general manager of Microsoft's Chinese consumer and online marketing department, Internet Explorer has a market share of more than 90% in mainland China. It is not difficult to infer that the domestic hardware manufacturers may be divided in the future.
The latest IE8.0 browser can be installed on Windows XP and Windows Vista systems, while Microsoft's new operating system Windows 7 and IE8.0 will be bundled for installation.
In addition, pirated users can also be used normally. The person in charge of Microsoft China said that IE8.0 can be downloaded and used normally regardless of whether the user's Windows system is genuine or not. Analysts believe that there are not a few pirated users. If Microsoft blocks these users out of IE8.0, it is tantamount to pushing potential users to the competitor's camp.
