The current test data show that in the Chinese market has 91% of applications, 92% of hardware equipment and 95% of the Web site implementation and WINDOSW7 operating system to achieve good compatibility.

According to the results from the Chinese military software testing, the current market on the required 100 kinds of software can be Windows7 under the good operation. In addition, more than 2000 software companies and individuals have uploaded 11,000 compatible software. According to the reporter understands, in yesterday's media communication meeting, this May, the Microsoft Company has invited the media and the partner to carry on the WINDOWS7 experience in the whole country. Industry insiders said that Microsoft in the new operating system before the listing, so frequent compatibility testing and communication, is clearly learned from the previous Vista listing lessons. Wei Qing, general manager of Microsoft's China consumer and online division, said yesterday that Windows7 would be released in China on October 23.

To avoid windows 7 repeating the much-maligned Vista compatibility, Microsoft announced yesterday that, after 2.5, Windows 7 was already compatible with 91% of the software in the Chinese market.

Microsoft's previous operating system, Vista, has been criticized since it came to market: poor compatibility, high computer memory requirements, heavy disk space, slow speed, no support for third-party programs, and more. Microsoft is not accepting these accusations and is trying to defend Vista. But users are not buying it, and even after Vista's launch two years later, XP's market share is still over 60%. It was not until 3 months ago that Microsoft officially acknowledged that Vista had serious problems.

Especially in China, Vista operating system and 80% of the network game is incompatible, to the late only to improve, and in the increasingly vibrant Chinese e-commerce tide, Microsoft Vista is particularly weak. Microsoft executives acknowledge that Vista is doing poorly on the compatibility of China's silver net, with about 5% of the net silver system being applied to Vista. For this reason Microsoft spent about a year and the major banks to deal with the network silver compatibility problem.

Microsoft particularly expects Windows7 to restore the company's reputation, but since the Windows7 is only two months away from official release, it is a challenge for Microsoft to make seamless transfer of users to Windows7.
