Microsoft will cut prices on its Windows Vista operating system by up to 47 per cent this month across the globe, said the business group leader for Microsoft Gulf.
“The reduction in prices is not across the entire range of products. It’s only on fully packed versions, the FPP. These products go through the retailers and benefit the end-consumer. We want to target a specific section of the software market and this time it’s with the retail standalone product,” Xavier told Emirates Business. However, retailers in town were unaware of any price reduction when Emirates Business spoke to them.
It is being reported that the price cut is a tactic to push up sales of Vista’s latest version and discourage people from using pirated copies, but Xavier denied any such strategic thinking behind the move
