Although Windows 7 performed well in the global data, but the information Times reporter found that in the Chinese market, the price was higher than by genuine users of psychological expectations and poor performance of previous generation systems and other factors Vista, Windows 7 is facing piracy rife and enterprise users its compatibility concerns and other issues.

Low prices little effect

Since the release date of Windows 7 in order to avoid repetition of past XP “national piracy” cycle, Microsoft announced that Windows 7 will be enforced in China “cheap tactics”, want to raise genuine Windows 7 usage in the Mainland.

Low-cost strategy for Windows 7, a channel provider that effect and not reflected. The fourth floor of an exclusive software Buynow Guangzhou dealer told reporters: “sales, although genuine than the previous generation Windows 7 operating system Vista will sell, but the retail stores plus day shipping counterparts, also less than the total volume 10 sets of software agents as a franchise, this performance is clearly unsatisfactory. “

But many of the channels in Guangzhou to increase the volume of business, the actual market retail price of only 355 yuan, others in the same goods price is as low as 345 yuan, even lower than the official offer of 50 yuan.
