In the new year, Microsoft will face many problems, one of the biggest problem is how to position Windows Vista as an enterprise-class products. Analyst firm Directions released its report last week and said: "For Microsoft, the biggest challenge for 2006 came from the marketing of Windows Vista."
Windows Vista can bring many improvements to the enterprise: Software development, security, reliability, System management, user interface, and so on. However, the public demos are full of cool graphics and user features that are tiring for many it people.
In the report, the problems described by Microsoft are as follows:

2. Provide an authoritative set of guidelines for developing Windows applications to reduce software bugs and security vulnerabilities and then strengthen it.
3. Indicate that your position is already in the market for managing the solution, and what work will be left to partners in this business.
4. Quickly provide developers with the next generation of basic tools to support Vista.
5. Promote the company's online strategy, such as creating a new advertising platform and promoting it to small businesses.
6. Coordinate their own enterprise resource planning strategy, so that partners can provide support, sales, and transfer of new users to the company's newly named Dynamics product line.
7. Dynamic Systems Initiative, which is a potential problem, is the standard for software to manage other software. Continue to develop file components, such as systems Definition Model, and create and develop relevant developer tools.
8. Set up your own product release strategy and demonstrate the determination to implement it.
9. Demonstrate a high pricing strategy for the Xbox 360 in competition with rivals, develop a required Xbox game for users, eliminate Xbox shortages, and troubleshoot previous glitches.
