Microsoft unveiled
the successor to Windows 8 New “window” to have its premiere until
next year, but now there are many rumors about the price of a new
product. If they meet at least partially, the market appears
cheapest Windows in the history of the brand.
The new system – dubbed unexpectedly 10s – is to be
Multiplatform, which will be available for all possible devices, from
standard home computers on mobile devices.
Microsoft cuts prices
Microsoft for many years was associated with a company that expects
for their produce big money. In Polish conditions, the prices of the last version
system (the most expensive variants) reached up to 1000 dollars. The company apparently
decided to change tactics and reduce the prices of their products.
recommended by producer prices of Windows on their release *
The fall in prices of the most popular operating system
already been observed with the release of Windows 8 Microsoft apparently
decided to finally live up to their pledges of pro-consumer
approach to business. First, the company decided to standardize
offer and offer Windows 8 only in two versions, not as it was
place in Vista and 7 – of six.
The basic version was priced
for $ 139.99 which was up hundred-dollar price reduction in comparison with the
Vista. For updating to the latest Windows 7 system had to be on
premieres pay $ 69.99. It also was visible reduction against
pricing standards persistent since the Windows 95 – full versions
Boxed cost at $ 200, $ 100 and updates.
This was not the only step which Microsoft made available to the
your system to a wider audience. Redmond giant has decided to donate
its latest system for free to all manufacturers of mobile devices
screen size of less than 9 inches.
Windows 10 will beat the price predecessors?
If the current reports of the price of the new system will prove to be
true, it will be the cheapest Windows 10 system in the history of the brand. Anyone
who already has a license to use the 8-ki will receive the update without
pay additional fees. The company did not forget about users
older system – Windows 7 – and give them access to change trains to the latest version
for only $ 30.
While providing free mobile system for tablets
was a marketing trick aimed to spread the system on tablets, so offering
free new commercial system for desktop computers seems
revelation. Of course, there are free systems for computers from the stable
Linux, but Windows is a commonly used system – not just
among individual users, but also among companies and institutions of the
public.
