1 Reduction in Price
2 Add new features and more comfortable working
Parag Doshi  |  Supported idea  "Reduction in Price"  |  2 years ago
No Company can sell their items without profit. Reduction in price is comparative to India market. Better to provide multiple feature with the same costing can attract more people. Like Microsoft package of Windows 7 + Office at the cost of OS...
Radhakrishna Marar  |  Added idea  "Add new features and more comfortable working"  |  2 years ago

Vinay Chaudhari  |  Supported idea  "Reduction in Price"  |  2 years ago
What space that we are discussing here - retail or corporate? In retail space, price is the ruler in indian markets. Frankly speaking, if we discount OEM licenses, how many retail customers buy OS license in India? The number will improve only if...

I won't say that it's great - however its a step in the right direction. The OS does work smoothly - however you need atleast a decent configuration to be able to enjoy visual effects etc. All in all - a decent OS

The price is very high for Windows 7.  I have read several reviews that 7 is just a modification of its predecessor Vista and the difference is its much faster than Vista. I think it is not the time for people to go for Windows 7 because some of...

I dont think that this kind of marketing strategy is going to help Microsoft in any ways. If the people wants to buy Windows 7, they will definitly go for it, with out seeing what freebie they are getting with that. And for a company like...

Why China And India Don't Get Along January 4, 2011: India-China ties are set to enter treacherous waters in the coming months. This is clear from current Chinese attitudes, wherein China favors Pakistan at the expense of India. For example, China is selling a one Giga watt nuclear reactor to Pakistan and is determined to ink a civilian nuclear energy cooperation agreement with the country which has for years indulged in nuclear proliferation. China has been demanding visa applications from Indians living in Jammu and Kashmir (wishing to travel to China) but not for Pakistanis in Pakistani Kashmir. This makes it clear on whose side China is. Against the backdrop of many serious differences, the visit by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (December 15-17) was expected to lower the temperature. It did not; instead it only exacerbated the Sino-Indian fault lines. Wen’s talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on December 16 failed to produce any dramatic results. The good thing...
