And its hardware support to the Vista, Intel will not adopt Vista in its facilities, according to reports, Microsoft XP support extended to 2014
Intel, the world's largest microprocessor manufacturer, and adhere to Microsoft's operating system manufacturers, through good times and bad. They have close cooperation, a modern version of Windows, and share, and even some common unpleasant experience - like, by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission investigation.
However, times have changed, and suddenly, according to Intel's internal report has been surprisingly cold-shouldered, Microsoft's flagship product, Windows Vista computer. Intel, which has over 80,000 employees and workstations, will not change its computers to Vista. This marks the first time, Intel will bypass a major generation of Windows, if the main source of the report held true.
Intel's acceptance or rejection could be a major symbolic blow, this is an integral part of much broader trends, the company refused to adopt Windows Vista, previously discussed here dailytech. And consumers to have some complaints languished slightly due to the compatibility, function and resource consumption, these issues are more in the business world index, of which the operation is a bit outdated hardware.
Lengthy analysis from the company's internal technical delivery versus the cost of the benefits of the adoption of Vista, resulting in the decision. According to informed sources, who asked to remain anonymous request, because of possible damage to the relationship between Microsoft and Intel, came to the conclusion that the cost of expensive hardware upgrades to cope with what some people call it Vista's "expansion" or high-memory, CPU and graphics requirements, only too costly for small and the benefits.
The insider said, "This is not a problem dissing Microsoft, but Intel's information technology staff, but found no compelling reason for the use of Vista."
An Intel spokesman did not recognize the report, but he refused to directly deny them. He said, Vista is seen very limited deployment, a group of companies, but as a whole, is not passed.
So many "Wintel alliance, said:" some. The term was created in the beginning, PC industry, and because Windows and Intel has almost synonymous with personal computers.
Word of the rift, the first to break the sardonic British technology news site Inquirer and has been covered by major news media, including the New York Times.
Times pointed out that appropriate to note that Intel might change its mind, in some points. Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO, Paul Otellini regular meeting, Intel's Chief Executive, and Ballmer is well known, either as a good salesman, he likes a strong aggression.
David Smith, Gartner analysts said that Intel and other companies refused to Vista is not totally normal - there is a typical waiting period before the next generation operating system through. However, Vista, he said, has almost through this period is troublingly receive little support. He states, "but by 18 months, you expect to see a significant absorption, we have not seen that. There's not much excitement."
The average in a generation, according to Gartner's survey, 30 percent of the customers skip the operating system. This figure will be much higher, Vista, according to Gartner. Gartner's views, also is the sole customer for the adoption of Vista.
140000000 Vista with a copy in the world, OS, is by no means a failure. But its failure continuation of the initiative, produced by in Windows XP.
In Windows XP, will be discontinued at the end of the month, but its popularity still exists. PC manufacturers to use strong sales through the loopholes, and will continue to sell XP system, but there may be a marker.
Microsoft has to respond to the strong demand for extension of XP Home and Media Center support from the life of five years. Up to now, the original deadline is January 2009. Expansion will continue until May 2014. Extension means that Microsoft will continue to provide non-security updates for five years. XP Professional Edition have received a similar extension.
Some people think that this Vista as a recognition of the struggle. Microsoft and no official explanation for its decision to extend support.
Microsoft hopes and regain vitality, with the version of Windows 7, which is scheduled to be available for sale around the holiday season, to 2009. In the meantime, it is left licking its wounds, in particular the suffering of the most recent one, in the form of neglect from a trusted friend.
