Windows Vista将退出历史舞台的脚步

之前微软CEO鲍尔默称，Vista是款失败的产品，如果6年之后它没能在大部分企业中应用，那么它是款失败至极的产品。这回他又打自己嘴巴了，在10天前的Gartner 2008技术博览会上，他改口称，Vista已经取得前所未有的成功，它现在是微软最畅销的产品，在过去的18个月里，他们已经售出了1.8亿份，这1.8亿主要是消费市场用户。事实真的是这样吗？
据分析师称，目前只有10%的公司使用Vista，这个数目不是很高。毫无疑问，在PDC上我们将更多的听到Windows 7的消息，而不是Vista。Vista已经快速向死亡逼近，尽管微软极力挽救。下列的状况或许就预示着vista开始临近死亡：
几乎为0的许可数量
每个季度的财政报告，微软都统计Vista许可的销售状况，但是在上周的财政报告中，Vista确实售出了1.8亿份，但是这是从vista发售到3个月前的事情了，3个月以来Vista销售业绩已经接近死亡状态。
Windows部门利润下降
从上周的财政报告看来，Windows部门的财政收入对比去年只上升了2%，但是利润却减少了4%，相比之下，它的商业部门收入和利润分别上涨了20%和23%。微软认为Windows软件收入下降是因为没拿下netbook市场和低端市场，但是PC厂商的需求还是在增长，这就意味着Vista只要赢不了这两个市场，将会退出历史舞台。
netbook销售量增长
这个产品对微软来说是个很大的麻烦，因为Vista对硬件要求太高了，所以netbook转向了xp或者Linux，而且用户对此十分满意，他们还是喜欢使用了7年的XP。第三季度netbook销售量上涨了8%，但是Vista却束手无策，Windows7看来得向netbook看齐了。
Windows的生命还得延续
如果vista成功，那么微软该称windows的生命是靠vista来延续的，但是如今看来，要保住这个商标，却不是vista所能做的。
此外，OEM厂商要求由vista向xp降级，前面提到的只有10%的公司转向vista，Mac市场占有率的提高等都表明了Vista不是那么“成功”，或许微软该早点发布Windows 7来弥补Vista造成的损失。

Microsoft CEO Ballmer said before, Vista is a section of the failure of the product, if 6 years after it failed in most of the business application, it shall be extremely failure. This time he hit his mouth, in the 10 days prior to the Gartner 2008 Technology Expo, he corrected himself and said, Vista has been achieved unprecedented success, it is Microsoft's best-selling products over the past 18 months, they have Sold 1.8 million copies, which is 180,000,000 consumer market users. Is this really the case?

According to the analyst said, only 10% of the company to use Vista, this number is not high. There is no doubt that in the PDC, we will hear more of Windows 7, instead of Vista. Vista has been quick to close to death, although Microsoft strongly to save. The following situation may herald the beginning of the approach of death vista:

0 for almost the number of permits

Quarterly financial reports, statistics are Microsoft's Vista license sales, but last week the financial report, Vista really sold 1.8 million copies, but this is the vista from the sale to 3 months ago, 3 Months since Vista sales have been close to death state.

Windows sector profits decline

Last week's report from the Financial seems, Windows sector revenue last year compared only a 2% rise, but profits will be down by 4%, compared to its business revenues and profits were up 20% and 23% . Microsoft's Windows software that revenue decline was attributable to not take netbook market and low-end market, but demand for PC makers is growing, which means that Vista can not win as long as these two markets will be from the stage of history.

netbook sales growth

The Microsoft product is a lot of trouble because the hardware requirements for Vista are too high, so the netbook to xp or Linux, but customers are very satisfied, or they prefer to use a 7-year XP. Netbook in the third quarter sales rose 8 percent, but Vista could do nothing about, Windows7 seems to have netbook the line.

Windows had to extend the life of

If the success of the vista, Microsoft said the windows of life is to continue on vista, but now it seems, it is necessary to keep the trademark, is not vista can do.

In addition, OEM manufacturers require xp to vista from reduction in rank, mentioned earlier, only 10% of the companies to vista, Mac market share increase, and so the show Vista is not so "successful", perhaps as early as possible the release of Microsoft Windows 7 to make up for Vista Losses.
