Microsoft has released Windows 8 and followed it up with Windows 8.1. What is next? The buzz is about turning to Windows 9 and we expect to hear official word this year about a 2015 release.
So why is this interesting reading?
The Innovator's Dilemma that we've already talked about in this blog and the issue of pricing as it relates to the Windows product line. How can Microsoft continue to charge big dollars for its operating system when none of the competitors do so? Android is free, Mac OS is free, iOS is free, Google Chromebooks come with a free operating system, but Windows still adds to the margins for tablets and everything else.
ZDNet has an excellent write-up on this subject:
