PC status fell and fell

Computer shop news:

Windows8 was born today, both PC and Microsoft regard Windows 8 as a lifeline, but Win8 really disappoints them, and is big Disappointed. The emergence of Win8
did not make people fully accept, leading to a decline in the status of both PC and WP8
tablet phones.

On October 26th, Windows 8 was officially listed by Ballmer as another milestone in the history of Windows. Microsoft and the entire PC industry are clamoring for another PC change and sales peak. However, just one week later, IHS iSuppli's report poured a cold water. The report said that PC sales will fall by 1.2% in 2012. This is another decline after 11 years of Internet bubble burst in 2001, but this time it seems again. The possibility of picking up is gone. The fate of the PC has always had a natural connection with the development of the Internet. The last industry decline was due to the bursting of the Internet bubble, and this time it was the mobile revolution of the Internet. Microsoft saw the crisis in the mobile Internet era and the entire PC industry. However, Microsoft did not have the courage to make choices or even revolutions, so it was a compromise product like Windows 8. Software expert Jacob • Nielsen called it: a mobile phone thinking and mode to do the reverse of the tablet and PC software and experience, the design for mobile phones is not fully applicable to tablet
, more not suitable for PC. Microsoft did not have the courage to give up the PC, but also wanted to plot tablets and mobile phones, too greedy. The market verified Jacob's judgment, and an Acer computer executive said that sales of personal computers equipped with the Windows 8 operating system have been lower than expected, he said, one of the reasons for poor sales. It is the design of the new system that makes consumers feel unfamiliar, which leads consumers to buy carefully. Net Applications data shows that on December 22, Windows 8's share of all Windows PCs connected to the Internet was 1.6%, even lower than the 2.2% penetration rate of Microsoft's failed Windows Vista release two months later. According to NPD data, sales from Windows 8 to the beginning of December, US Windows PC sales decreased by 13% compared with the same period last year. Microsoft has said that Windows 8 sold 40 million copies in the first month of its launch, but this includes OEM versions sold to PC makers, most of which are currently in stock. From the news of Taiwan's supply chain, PC manufacturers have begun to reduce PC-related OEM processing and parts orders, which also indicates that the PC will continue to decline in 2013, which means that PC companies that originally hoped that Windows 8 will save will Continue to slide to the abyss. Microsoft launched Surface originally to define and demonstrate Windows 8 tablet, in order to build an ecosystem, but did not want to attract internal disputes and partners, the already existing Surface RT has basically failed, the lack of application and persecution user habits The experience makes it less attractive in the competition with iPad
and Android tablets. Microsoft’s expectation that fans’ queues for purchase did not appear. A netizen even used Twitter tools to analyze and conclude that the sales ratio of iPad and Microsoft Surface is 50:1. From Microsoft’s reduction of OEM orders and quick release upgrades, you can see Out, Microsoft is not satisfied with the current status of Surface RT. It means that although Microsoft's things have plummeted, it will not affect the company, and it will only allow Microsoft to increase its efforts. The Surface is still the case, the partner's Windows 8 tablet is even more bleak, because Microsoft's initial partners are mostly PC makers such as Acer, Asus and Lenovo. The attitude towards the tablet is not positive, basically in a wait-and-see state, and the market is basically in existence. The price is out of stock. The status quo of Windows 8 is not Microsoft's hard work. From Microsoft's internal information, from product development to marketing, Windows 8 is a record. Microsoft has also seen the trend and future of mobile, and has also adopted mobile thinking and investment. Great resources are used for ecological construction. Unfortunately, Microsoft still has no courage to self-denial and self-revolution, and the business model and operational thinking of the PC era are not suitable for the mobile era. Of course, the most important thing is that the value of PC as a network access terminal is increasingly marginalized. A. M. Sacconaghi, an analyst at wealth management company Sanford C. Bernstein, said: “The PC replacement cycle has been extended. If people buy a new PC every four years, and now they update one every five years, this alone will reduce PC sales by 20%. Over time, PCs will be replaced by more convenient and flexible tablets and smartphones. "It seems that the hesitation of Windows 8 not only harms Microsoft, but also saves the PC. To some extent, it is a step on the road where the PC slips. As Jacob said: Microsoft is concerned about the habits of mobile phone users, but does not take into account the majority of traditional customers, including enterprise users and home users, and this is the PC consumer group.
