Microsoft’s New OS Win 7 – New OS Same Old Packaging
May 26th, 2009 by Frank
The company has announced that their new and latest operating system package would be released into several forms beginning with a starter pack up to the most expensive one designed for extreme users. This is already drawing anger form people who were hit with the same dilemma when Vista came out with different flavors to the popular OS prompting most who jumped onto the new system to downgrade back to Windows XP. The OS would also come out in two variants of 32 and 64 bit with three flavors to each of the variants for a total of six types. This may prove problematic to Microsoft due to the bad aftertaste they are still getting from the backlash of Vista’s failure so they are treading in dangerous waters.
Windows XP is slated for elimination from the support site with no more updates and security functions to come out as part of their planned termination of the said services. They however have an option for licensed XP users to upgrade directly to the new OS, considering the fact that most of the PC’s today still use XP. The most basic form of Win7 would not be available on the shelf and would be the one designated for use of PC vendors and re-sellers. The most expensive type designed for more power users are available but without any pricing details coming out of the rumor grinders yet, we can only guess.
