Microsoft Should Continue Windows 7 Family Pack Licensing

Microsoft has been offering family packs of Windows 7 to customers for a discounted price–while supplies last. It would behoove it to make the family packs a permanent offering.

CNET’s Ina Fried is reporting that the packs have nearly sold out. The packs sell for $149.99, which is a bargain considering that three stand-alone copies of 7 Home Premium list for $359.97.

There are two good reasons why Microsoft should make the family packs permanent: Its Windows licensing revenue is suffering, and Apple has long offered them for OS X. (A Snow Leopard 5-pack sells for $49.99.)

While Windows 7 has boosted Microsoft’s license revenues, netbooks have begun to chip away at the Windows cash cow. Windows 7 has proven popular with early adopters, and anything that Microsoft could do to get more customers to upgrade is a good thing.

Added on December 5, 2009, 5:02 pmThe State of Windows 7 Satisfaction
Windows 7 is scarcely more than a month old. Most of the people who will eventually use it haven’t gotten around to trying it yet; those that have are still settling in. And the Win 7 experience will change rapidly as remaining bugs are squashed, missing drivers arrive, and compatibility glitches are ironed out. Even so, it’s not too early to start gauging what real people think of Windows Vista’s replacement.
So to riff on Ronald Reagan’s famous question from his 1980 debate with Jimmy Carter, Are Windows users better off today than they were a few weeks ago, back in the Vista era? We decided to ask the Technologizer community, a group of tech enthusiasts with a high propensity to acquire new operating systems quickly and push them to their limits. Starting on November 16th, we surveyed our readers (and Twitter followers) about their experiences with Windows 7. Our goal: to do a reality check on the mostly favorable initial reviews of the new OS (as well as our own survey of largely enthusiastic Windows 7 beta testers back in March).
The 550+ Windows 7 early adopters who took our survey mostly echo the positive response that the upgrade has received from professional reviewers, pundits, and users of pre-release editions. A sizable majority say they’re extremely satisfied with the OS and rate it as a clear improvement on both the beloved Windows XP and the widely-panned Windows Vista. Crippling installation problems–the bane of every upgrader’s existence, and always a legitimate reason to postpone switching OSes–were rare.
Our full report follows. But first, some quick facts on the folks who took our survey:
Prior to using Windows 7, forty-six percent of respondents ran Windows Vista, and thirty-two percent ran Windows XP. Seventeen percent ran Vista and XP about equally, five percent ran an OS other than Windows, and a whopping 0.7 percent used a version of Windows other than Vista or XP.
Seventy-three percent upgraded an existing PC to the final version of Windows 7, and eight percent are running it on a PC that came with the OS pre-installed. Fourteen percent are still using a pre-release version, and six percent are running it on a Mac via Boot Camp or a virtualization program.
Sixty-four percent of respondents rate themselves as expert Windows users; thirty-five percent say they’re intermediate ones. Less than one percent call themselves beginners.
Sixty-one percent are using Windows 7 entirely or mostly for home/personal use. Twenty-five percent are using it about equally for home/personal and business use. Just fourteen percent are using it entirely or mostly for business use.
Sixty-one percent are using a 64-bit edition of Windows 7, and thirty-one percent are running a 32-bit version.
Eighty-two percent did a “clean” install of the OS from scratch; nineteen percent installed it over Windows Vista.
Fifty-nine percent say they’ve used Windows 7 extensively, and thirty-six percent say they’ve done so a fair amount. Five percent say they’ve just used it a little so far.
It’s important to note that our goal wasn’t to survey a representative, projectable, normalized sampling of all Windows 7 users. The responses that follow are from members of the Technologizer community who chose to take our survey. Their opinions are their own–but we think they make for interesting reading even if they’re not the last word on how average users will react to Windows 7.
Getting Up and Running
As with all things, first impressions count with operating systems. And if you’ve bought an OS as an upgrade, the first impressions it makes come in the form of the installation process.
As I’ve written before, there’s no such thing as an operating system upgrade that doesn’t cause headaches for some percentage of the people who install it. In the case of our survey takers who installed Windows 7, however, the number who encountered major hassles was very small–presumably in part because Windows 7 is so similar to Vista under the surface. The fact that the vast majority of respondents performed clean installations rather than installing on top of Vista surely helped, too.
Eighty-four percent say the process went off without meaningful hiccups; thirteen percent say it went fairly well. A total of three percent reported major problems, two-thirds of which were resolvable. Pretty impressive–when PC World surveyed Windows XP users shortly after that OS shipped, half reported installation difficulties.

The fact that respondents’ upgrades tended to go smoothly doesn’t mean that they didn’t encounter any issues with their new operating system. Two problem areas stand out: More than forty percent had to try and resolve driver issues, and more than a third needed to deal with software incompatibilities. Other problems, however, were reported by a much smaller percentage of respondents. For instance, eleven percent reported crashes or blue screens of death. And only six percent said that Windows 7’s performance was poor, which is a relief given that the original version Windows Vista quickly developed a reputation as a poky resource hog.
Are the percentages of users who reported problems impressively low, or unsettlingly high? That’s subject to debate. But here’s something that isn’t: Both Windows XP and Windows Vista also suffer to some degree from all the gotchas that respondents said they encountered in Windows 7.

(In this infographic and those that follow, the scale of 0% to 100% represents the percentage of survey respondents who answered a particular question as indicated by the bars.)

Hi there,

I just recently using window 7, and it is very new to me, can anyone help me any website I can learn the tricks and the feartures ??

Appreciate it very much if anyone can show me some guildance


thanks in advance..

thanks for a nice collation.......................................

this afternoon while using Office 2003 on my Win 7 Ultimate.
some thing weird happen, everything become very slow,
the MsWords also become very slow somtime it display (programme not responding) on the top left bar.
sometime it display message "There is insufficient memory or disk space. Close extra windows and save your work."
although my laptop's RAM size is 4GB and still a lot of disk space (Total harddisk size 250GB, space used only less than 50GB).
My Win 7 has Microsoft Security Essential install and my Win 7's automatic is ON. Seem like the only way to solve the problem is to re-format the whole harddisk and re-install Win7.

So at night i re-format the whole harddisk and re-install everything.
Now (12:43am) My laptop is finally back to normal.



(New update after one week)
After one week, this Win 7 laptop become slow/sluggish again.
look like i should not connect this win7 laptop to internet!
