In order to allow more users from a Windows XP system to Windows8, Microsoft has recently started promoting their new release on a global scale network security report, which focused on the continuing risks of using XP system.
According to the statistics of Microsoft, in the global market, there are still 21% users in the use of Windows XP systems. In the Chinese market, percentage of users still using Windows XP is more than 60%.
This also means that, if a large number of users to stay within the old system does not upgrade, Microsoft will lose a lot of revenue, while Microsoft's latest Windows 8 systems are difficult to spread.
However, Microsoft does not think that income is the main reason Microsoft wants users to give up XP. Microsoft China Chief Technology Officer (NTO) Sandy Gupta on November 12 the 21st century business Herald reporters believe that the XP system has been unable to adapt to the Internet age.
"You know, XP system was released in 2001, it was 12 years ago. "Sandy Gupta said that 12 years ago, XP is equipped with security technology at the time was of high quality," but now has been unable to respond to threats in the Internet era. ”
Sandy Gupta from now when Windows XP is released, the number of users of the Internet, the number of websites, the number of mobile phone users has had explosive growth, technology, and XP systems are increasingly struggling to cope with environmental change.
According to the Microsoft report data, the first half of 2013, in all operating system versions of Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Vista, andWindows7 and Windows 8, roughly the same as they encounter the malware, basically range between 12% to 20%. However, the Windows XP system encounters six times times the risk of infection is Windows 8.
More deadly is that Microsoft has already announced will be terminated on April 8, 2014, patches, and technical support for the Windows XP software. "If Microsoft released a new patch, hackers may well reverse find XP vulnerability and exploit. "Sandy said.
At that time, a large number of old Windows XP users would face "tough choices", or buy a new Windows system, or his stand the risk of malware attacks.
However, if technically XP systems were antiquated and needs to be updated, then the business model, Microsoft does need to move with the times, free model adapt to the Internet age.
In this regard, the Sandy Gupta told reporters, "we do realize that business model adjustment problems, Microsoft is doing such a shift. "Sandy, for instance, Microsoft's operating system in addition to PC, it also has application in the terminals, such as mobile phones, flat-screen. On the mobile phone, the terminal uses Windows Phone system, consumers do not need to pay.
At the same time, Sandy stressed that he did not think that "pays" itself is a problem. "Through our contacts with users, we understood that they focus on value products can bring to their customers, for the value of the product, they are willing to pay. ”
Sandy said that Microsoft "cloud + port" also attempts to make a number of new business models, such as Office 365 cloud service on a monthly or annual subscription model, "designed to let users anytime and anywhere using a variety of devices, to browse the data, access to the Office as well as any other application. ”
微软中国首席技术官：XP已不适应当今网络时代 - XP,Windows XP,微软 - IT资讯微软中国首席技术官：XP已不适应当今网络时代
为了让更多的老用户从Windows XP系统转向Windows8，微软近日开始在全球范围内宣传其新发布的网络安全报告，其中重点强调了继续使用XP系统的风险。
根据微软的统计，在全球市场，目前仍然有21%的用户在使用Windows XP系统。而在中国市场，还在使用Windows XP的用户比例更是超过了60%。
这也意味着，如果大批用户留在老系统不升级，微软将损失大量收入，同时微软最新的Windows 8系统也难以推广普及。
不过，微软方面并不认为收入是微软希望用户放弃XP的主要原因。微软中国首席技术官(NTO)Sandy Gupta 11月12日接受《21世纪经济报道》记者采访时认为，XP系统已经不能适应现在的网络时代。
“要知道XP系统是2001年发布，已经是12年前了。”Sandy Gupta说，12年前XP配备的安全技术在当时算是高质量的，“但是现在已经无法应对网络时代的威胁。”
在Sandy Gupta看来，从Windows XP发布时到现在，互联网的用户数，网站的数量，手机用户的数量都有了爆炸式的增长，技术和环境的变化让XP系统越来越疲于应对。
根据微软报告的数据，2013年上半年，在微软所有操作系统版本Windows XP、Windows Vista、Windows7和Windows 8中，他们遭遇恶意软件的比率大致相同，基本都介于12%到20%之间。但是，Windows XP系统遭遇感染的几率却是Windows 8的六倍。
更为致命的是，微软已经宣布将在2014年4月8日正式终止对Windows XP软件提供补丁程序和技术支持。“到时候如果微软发布新的补丁，黑客很可能从中反向找出XP的漏洞，并加以利用。”Sandy说。
到时候，大量Windows XP的老用户将面临“艰难的抉择”，要么花钱购买新的Windows系统，要么自己忍受被恶意软件攻击的风险。
不过，如果说在技术上XP系统已经过时需要更新，那么在商业模式上，微软自身是否也需要与时俱进，适应互联网时代的免费模式呢。
对此，Sandy Gupta向记者表示，“我们确实意识到商业模式调整的问题，微软也正在做这样的转变。”Sandy举例说，微软的操作系统除了应用于PC，在手机、平板等终端上也有应用。在手机等终端上使用Windows Phone系统，消费者不需要另外付费。
同时，Sandy强调说，他不认为“付费”本身是一个问题。“通过我们与用户的接触我们了解到，他们更关注的是产品可以带给他们的用户价值，对于有价值的产品，他们是愿意付钱的。”
Sandy表示，微软在“云+端”方面也进行了一些新的商业模式的尝试，比如Office 365这样的云服务就采用了按月或按年订阅的模式，“目的就在于让用户随时随地使用不同的设备，来浏览数据、访问Office以及其他任何一种应用。”
