Ballmer: Don't be proud of yourself, Windows7 still have to be careful with Apple

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer recently warned at a Microsoft shareholders meeting that Microsoft must further reinforce Windows to address the threat of products from Apple and other companies. He said that although the current market share of Windows is "up to 96%" "But left and right", but in the past few years, Apple's Mac OSX and other products have already grabbed a considerable amount of market share, although he deliberately lowered the market share of these operating systems, saying that these operating systems only snatched away "percent A little bit of market share, but he said that even this level of market share should cause Microsoft's vigilance.

He said: "We should not lie in the existing market share On sleep, every loss of market share should cause us to be vigilant."

He also claimed that in the high-end field that Apple is good at, the market share of Windows PC in the US market has reached 83%. However, this statement does not seem to match the market data of other institutions. According to recent market adjustments, Apple's market share in the US high-end notebook market has reached 91%, and Mac desktops have a higher market share in the US high-end PC market.

Ballmer did not elaborate on the sales status of Windows7 so far, only repeatedly emphasized the sales figures of Windows7 at the beginning of the market, and said that Windows7 "excellent start situation".

In addition, Ballmer’s answer to the mobile platform products is also somewhat vague. He only claims that Windows Mobile's current market share is higher than Google's Android. It also said that Microsoft hopes to occupy a "leadership position" in the smartphone market, but he has not spent much on Windows Mobile 6.5, saying that Microsoft will continue. Promote the development of mobile operating systems.

Recently, Microsoft has just got rid of the recent decline with the launch of new products such as Windows 7, ZuneHD and Bing search engine. This year, due to the global economic crisis and the poor performance of Vista, Microsoft has been in the government for three consecutive months. In the state of falling revenue. The rival Apple's performance in the same period is much better, their iPhone and PC sales have seen a significant increase, and the revenue has also increased.
