http://www.cool3c.com/article/75069 應使用者要求,HP 再度推出預載 Windows 7 產品 由 Casper 於 二, 2014/01/21 - 10:43am 發表 電子產品 HP windows 7 觀眾要求 HP(目前應該只有美國)在上周開始寄發掛有「小七再臨」(Windows 7 is back)的電 子郵件宣傳給使用者,主要內容是提供預載 Windows 7 的選項,同時最多還可以省 150 美元,這項促銷也已經在官方網站開跑,還強調是應使用者熱烈要求的結果。 同時目前在美國官網上面,除非選擇客製化出貨,不然幾乎全線桌機產品都是以 Windows 7 預載出貨,筆電方面雖然有部分是掛 Windows 8,不過絕大部分也是以 Windows 7 掛牌,甚至連 All-in-One 也都以非 Windows 8 機種在推銷,一如 Android 產品。 如果 HP 開了這一槍,其他 PC 廠似乎也有跟進的可能,看來微軟提早推 Windows 9 出 來坦的計畫,恐怕是刻不容緩了。 圖文引用來源:The Verge、HP

The world’s second largest computer maker recently began promoting PCs loaded with Windows 7 on its U.S. website, buoyed by an email marketing push. “Back by popular demand,” HP’s U.S. website reads, offering customers the chance to get $150 off a new computer loaded with Windows 7. While other manufacturers—including Dell and Lenovo—also sell a limited number of Windows 7 PCs to consumers, only HP is advocating the aging OS with such gusto. PC shipments have been declining for seven consecutive quarters, so HP’s Windows 7 hype could be an attempt to bolster lagging sales by reverting to Microsoft’s more successful (and less contentious) version of Windows. No end in sight Microsoft has yet to put a firm end date on when computer makers have to stop pre-installing Windows 7 on new PCs, according to the company’s lifecycle page, and that is unlikely to change anytime soon. With a potential mass migration from Windows XP coming in 2014, having Windows 7 as an option could keep Metro haters within the Windows ecosystem. Plus, Microsoft probably doesn’t want to see a repeat of the Vista era, when Dell used the Windows Pro-level “downgrade” rights to sell more Windows XP devices such as the Inspiron 1525. Speaking of XP… Then again, with extended support for Windows XP coming to an end on April 8, HP could be hoping to get an early jump on deals to attract longtime XP users shopping for a new PC. Windows 7's traditional interface would be much less of a shock to reluctant XP upgraders than Windows 8's Live Tiled Start screen. Even with this new promotion HP’s selection of Windows 7 PCs is severely limited. At this writing, the company offered only two laptops running Windows 7, compared to 28 with Windows 8.1 and five (five!) with Chrome OS. Moving over to desktops, HP offers three with Windows 7, seven with Windows 8, and 26 with Windows 8.1. Perhaps, if this Windows 7 push is successful, the company will expand that lineup, but that is far from clear. Of course, the answer to why HP is hyping Windows 7 could also be “none of the above” as Stephen Baker, the Vice President of Analysis for the NPD research group, told PCWorld via email. “I think HP sees an opportunity and is reaching out to exploit it like any good selling organization would,” Baker said. “I believe anything else is reading way too much into one email marketing campaign.” --
