Microsoft prepares for the booming Vista ball

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has instructed the Windows marketing team to repeat the golden phase of Windows 95 on Windows Vista.

At that time, customers had to queue for a long time in order to have a version of the 'fashionable' Windows 95 operating system on hand and were very happy to own it even though, sometimes they didn't know it used to what.

The financial problem for this campaign has not been fully disclosed, but, according to a spokesman, Microsoft will explode a "Windows Vista" as the "Windows 95" era more than a decade ago.

The main goal of this promotion is to convince businesses and customers to switch to using the latest version of Windows Vista. Microsoft announced that there are all six versions of this operating system, targeted at customers with specialized uses.

Microsoft hopes this promotion will bring more than 400 million customers to Windows Vista within 24 months. That was said by Mr. Block, a Microsoft spokesman at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF: Intel Developer Forum).

What will users see from Vista .

The interface is new, attractive and friendly

The bottom line is to convince customers to switch to using the "expensive" Vista operating system. Microsoft focuses on convincing Windows Vista's superiority in managing and executing certain tasks that are the weakness of current systems.

On the end user side, Microsoft focuses on functions like TV and movies, Games, music and communication, with the promise of a fresh and impressive performance.

For SMBs (small and medium enterprises), Microsoft expressed Vista as an optimized operating system in backup and security backup, improved management, mobility, and situation analysis for professional and financial work.

For large enterprises, Vista stands out with the ability to manage computer systems, work stations, as well as security, database management and information retrieval.

Windows Vista, but Vista will give you the professional ability and experience of a working person. '

Mr. Block emphasized: ' Computers can do everything without going to Microsoft Windows Vista, but Vista will give you the professional ability and experience of an experienced person .'

Also within the framework of the speech at IDF, Mr. Block said:

' The digital world today is divided among many devices' outside' computers such as digital cameras (KTS) and iPods, etc. However, we hope PCs will be a kind of device. all in one. A PC can be everything at your fingertips . '

From start-up to now, Microsoft has always followed the goal, turning almost-so-complicated products into something so simple that a person who has no experience can use it all. easily. But some say that Vista will be hard to achieve.

Wanting to win over giants like Apple and Sony, the only solution is to develop both hardware and software in parallel. That is the reason for the introduction of some devices such as portable Windows media players, Xbox computers . Windows Vista promises to help Microsoft go beyond this path.

One of the other hurdles, Microsoft has to deal with, some computer systems are capable of running Windows Vista, but there is not enough "power" of hardware to be able to get through all of Vista's functions in a way. most optimal, may be due to lack of memory, or low graphics capabilities.

Microsoft will also spend a lot of effort to convince computer manufacturers to accept and use Windows Vista in their systems. According to many sources, the price of Windows Vista may be slightly more expensive than Windows XP.

Office 2007 will also be released this year, but many are concerned that many "dilute" overtures. Is the effect as big as Microsoft expected. Time will answer.
