Microsoft to be discontinued on Friday WIN7/8 operating system main push Win8.1

October 28--Microsoft will not suspend Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems in Friday, according to foreign media reports. From 31st this month, Microsoft will no longer sell Win7 home, family, and the flagship version of the boxed version. Consumers may also buy PCs pre-installed with these three versions of Windows 7, but Microsoft will no longer grant these three licenses to OEMs after October 31. This Friday Windows 7 Professional Edition also began to be discontinued. But Microsoft will authorize OEM manufacturers pre-installed Win7 Professional version of the time extended a year, the reason for the extension is mainly to meet the needs of enterprises. But a year later, in 2015, Microsoft plans to launch Windows 10 to the market after Microsoft said Windows 10 was designed for corporate users. After this month, WINDOWS8 Boxed Edition will also be discontinued. But at least one year, OEMs can also preinstall Win8 systems in their PCs. But the new machines sold by retailers and OEM manufacturers are based on pre-installed Win8.1 systems. The enterprise can also reduce the system to Windows 7 by purchasing Windows 8 or 8.1, and then exercising the downgrade power. Windows 7 is currently the most favored operating system, with a market share of about 52.7%. Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 share only 6% per cent of the market. However, the retail boxed edition of Windows 8 or 8.1 does not enjoy any downgrade rights. Users who get Microsoft's bulk authorization have the right to downgrade. And the right to downgrade is limited to the same version of the product. For example, the Windows 8.1 Professional Edition cannot be reduced to an enterprise or other version of Windows 7 and can only be demoted to the Windows 7 Professional Edition. The conditions for system demotion of PCs preloaded with WINDOWS8 or 8.1 are more complex. A user can demote a system if it is specified in the OEM license terms, but only two options are available for demotion, namely the Windows 7 Professional Edition or the Windows Vista Commercial Edition.
