Strategy - a professional product manager at Dell said that the rates of licenses of Windows 7 were higher than those of Vista. What could he be a brake on sales, especially among institutional clients and TPE / PME.

“If there is something that can influence the adoption (of Windows 7, ed), the slow or encourage customers to take a break is that the average price is higher than it has been with XP and Vista.

Here is what was stated Darrel Ward, marketing manager of professional products division at Dell. He also said that licenses for versions of Windows 7 as Windows 7 Professional Edition will be more expensive than Vista. This information is already in itself because the price of the replacement of Vista are still secret for now.

A risky choice by Darrel Ward, which predicts that in these times of crisis, this price increase could lead some customers in areas including academic and administrative, to postpone the adoption of the new OS.

For Dell, the stakes are high because half of its customers still use Windows XP. Customers will have to convince to move to Windows 7
