Technology - Microsoft lowers the price of Premium and Vista editions Integral sold in boxes, while the price of Windows has never changed. At the same time, it appears that the company has under-estimated the needs knowingly system Vista, to help Intel.
For the first time, Microsoft lowers the price of two versions of Windows sold in box: Vista Premium editions and Integral. Developed emerged with Vista, and whose prices had probably been "poorly positioned," says Brad Brooks, vice president of marketing at Microsoft.
In the United States, the Home Premium (updated) rose from 159 to 129 dollars, and Integral edition of 299 to 219 dollars. Nobody was reachable in the short term at Microsoft France on the lower prices in France.
So far, the price of Windows had very little moved; Vista was sold at the same rate as Windows XP. Brad Brooks explains that lowering the price of two versions, Microsoft seeks to acclimate the market these two new packs.
Sales versions anecdotal box
Still, sales boxed version of Windows has always been anecdotal compared to licenses sold with new PCs. Last January, Microsoft was pleased to have sold 100 million licenses Vista. As I mentioned then, the vast majority was largely attributable to the sale of the OS preinstalled on the PC from major manufacturers.
A situation denounced by advocates of free software. "Without tied selling Windows with the PC, sales of Vista would not be what they are," said the April, which recently hired especially with the Aful (*) an awareness campaign around the issues related to the sale. A guide to the refund, showing how to be reimbursed the OS, is especially made available.
Microsoft knew that Vista was too greedy for resources?
Declining prices Vista also while internal e-mails to Microsoft, revealed in the course of legal proceedings, show that the publisher has undervalued the needs of its new OS in material resources.
Since April 2007, Microsoft is indeed subject of a complaint en nom collectif (class action) on the label "Vista Capable" used by the first PC able to accommodate Vista. According to the complainants, these machines were not able to run the OS in good conditions.
In the context of this case, justice has produced e-mails (158 pages, 3.6 MB PDF) in which Microsoft executives discuss problems of compatibility and performance Vista. In one of them, an officer clearly indicates that the publisher had deliberately underestimated the needs of Vista to help Intel meet its quarterly earnings, allowing it to continue selling motherboards equipped with 915 graphics chipset, Writing our American reported.
This chipset has been classified in the list of PC components Vista Capable, when he was unable to run Aero interface of Vista or any other advanced visual function of the interface.
