Windows 7 - 微軟提供給用戶的一架升降機？

Win7之家（ m.airtaxifl.com）：Windows 7 - 微軟提供給用戶的一架升降機？

 我們已經(jīng)知道Windows 7正式版的版本分布了，從Starter到Ultimate，不過想想也知道Ultimate的數(shù)量不會太多。微軟的銷售策略是讓用戶從自己的最低要求出發(fā)，購買之后如果有需要的功能，可以再向微軟付費以解鎖功能。這么說來，將來搞不好會出現(xiàn)，按每個功能來收費的情況。要真是這樣，也未必是壞事，至少，更符合用戶需求了。

除了鼓勵用戶通過解鎖功能的方式升級到更高版本之外，微軟依然提供了降級選項，用戶可以將Windows 7降級為Vista甚至是XP。不過話說回來，真正愿意降級的恐怕也不多。

附部分原文：

We've already covered the plethora of Windows 7 versions, starting with the gimpy Starter edition and then running all the way up to Ultimate (which, we can now confirm, will not include a bag of chips). Microsoft's grand scheme is for users to start with what they need and pay to unlock additional functionality, upgrading their way to the top rung of the the Windows 7 ladder. But, it's now coming to light that the company will also allow downgrades -- not to simpler versions of Win 7, but to earlier operating systems like Vista and even XP. Yes, OEM manufacturers can still keep shipping XP Pro by "downgrading" Windows 7 machines through the end of April, 2010, and while HP is the only one advertising this, you can be sure they won't be alone. Interestingly these machines will still come with free Windows 7 upgrades, hopefully enticing users to give it a shot, but if they don't like it they are allowed to go back to XP on their own. Details for user-driven downgrades are a bit light at the moment, though, so don't be surprised if it requires a little fdisk action.
