Microsoft is considering free versions of Windows Phone and RT to compete with Android Microsoft is considering making some of its operating systems free face to manufacturers, not to charge licenses for them. Thus they could get more attractive face to the fight so complicated that they have with Android. We talked about Windows Phone and Windows RT, and The Verge is which has released the news, with sources close to the protagonists. That said, Terry Myerson, primary responsibility on the platforms, is considering the possibility. I may not be a change to take the evening to the morning, but it is part of the future strategy Windows. There is some important updates that come at the beginning of the coming year, but it sounds more feasible by 2015, when Threshold is a reality, with possible synergies between platforms and ecosystems. Microsoft currently charge licenses for Windows Phone and RT, but the majority of revenue come from device manufacturers who choose Windows 8. In the case of phones, there is no much scratching where if we leave Nokia, now owned by Microsoft. In the past already has had commented that Microsoft would charge for licenses to HTC. We understand that they would seek other ways to monetize the business, giving more importance to licenses in the own Microsoft applications and services – Bing. Also giving more importance to ads and advertising within them. Another field to harvest income are subscriptions, as they have been proposing with services such as SkyDrive, Office and Skype.

- Objavljeno 12. 12. 2013. - Kategorije - Tagovi - Denis Jeleć Windows Phone postaje besplatan, a sve kako bi Microsoft konkurirao Androidu Ako je za vjerovati informacijama kojima raspolaže The Verge, Microsoft razmišlja o tome da Windows Phone i Windows RT mobilne operativne sustave počne pružati proizvođačima uređaja – besplatno. Iza svega stoji Terry Myerson, glavna odgovorna figura kada je u pitanju planiranje i razvoj operativnih sustava kompanije iz Redmonda. Što je bitnije, čini se kako bi ove novosti mogle stići već s navodnim novim valom Windows sustava pod kodnim imenom ‘Threshold’, o čemu je jučer bilo riječi. Nije neka posebna tajna da proizvođači trenutno moraju kupovati licence za Microsoftove mobilne operativne sustave ako ih žele koristiti u svojim uređajima. Novim potezom, u kojem se potreba za novčanim naknadama uklanja, kompanija vjerojatno želi postići slično što i Google s Androidom – osigurati brže i besplatno širenje platformi uz određene pakete koji bi koštali. Njima bi se pak pokušali osigurati drugi izvori prihoda, poput oglasa u aplikacijama, akcijama kojima bi se više korisnika pokušalo privući u pretplatu za SkyDrive, Office, Skype i dr. Appleov ili Googleov model za mobilne platforme? U jednu ruku, ekstra prihodi vezani uz mobilne uređaje već postoje, a tiču se patentnih licenci koje brojni proizvođači Android uređaja moraju plaćati Microsoftu. Stoga u Redmondu možda i ne moraju pretjerano brinuti oko prihoda, koliko oko skupljanja kritične mase korisnika, koja bi pak mogla privući developere za kompanijine mobilne platforme. Kada bi više proizvođača imalo pristup platformi (besplatno), to bi vjerojatno bio prilično pozitivan korak za Windows poslovanje. Dugoročno gledano, naravno. Izvor: The Verge
