Guidance: PC World USA Today author IT Web site, cited the history of IT development in the 10 failed upgrades,Louis Vuitton wallet M58028, and problems and their impact are described.
following article summary:
1, Microsoft DOS 4.0 (1988 .)
products: before the birth of Windows yet, many users are using MS- DOS operating system, which cost 75,Louis Vuitton bag Monogram Canvas M41434,000 U.S. dollars for Microsoft in Seattle from a small software company where purchased.
problem: This system broke through the 640KB memory limit, and support more than 32MB of hard disk space, it has added support for mouse's catalog interface. But the system is not compatible with many well-known procedures, some loopholes may even lead to destruction of user data. This system, the situation was similar with Vista today, users are not willing to upgrade, and have stick to older versions of DOS 3.3. DOS 3.3 is equivalent to today's XP. Even a year after the release of DOS 4.0, the software retailer Egghead Software's data still show, DOS 3.3 DOS 4.0 sales to 2 times.
effects: for non-IBM PC until Microsoft introduced the system, has been upgraded to DOS 4.01, most of the early problems had been resolved. However, the resulting loss of reputation is irreparable, so that its competitors skip DR-DOS 4.0 and 5.0 used version number, in order to avoid misunderstandings lead to the user. Until Microsoft released DOS 5.0 in 1991, only to restore the reputation and regain users.

But the Ashton-Tate does not seem ready to improve products company, until two years later, dBase IV 1.1 was long overdue.
Impact: While the database at the time dominated the field, but still faces tough competition dBase: for example, and the Clipper FoxBase two products are not only compatible with dBase, and can provide dBase lacks features. Users have to give up dBase, dBase although not compley disappear, but its market share has been shrinking dramatically. In 1991,Gucci Wallets 181644, Ashton-Tate acquired by Borland.
3, Polaris PackRat 5.0 (1993 .)

question: When PackRat 5.0 release, IT magazineHowever, users are full of complaints, many people criticized the software useless, and published a lot of negative comments.
Polaris president claimed that the negative comments online are from 20 to 30 users. But the company eventually was forced to admit PackRat 5.0 is not fully prepared.
impact: Polaris PackRat patch for the flaw in the process of reaction is very slow, even loyal users who think it inexcusable. The software's market share from 27% in 1993, plummeted to less than 10% in 1994. Is the large-scale layoffs next, and eventually ephone companies Octus merger.
Products: Although Microsoft and Apple is the technology in the field of a pair of enemies, but Microsoft has never stopped developing applications for Apple Computer . 1985 for Mac, Microsoft introduced the Word,Louis Vuitton wallet M61960, this time from Microsoft for their MS-DOS operating system to launch the software, just two years.
problem: Mac version of Word 5.0 was released in 1991, and won a lot of praise. However, the next major upgrade, Microsoft decided to let the Mac version of Word and the Windows version of Word has the same functionality, so give up before the release in the development of some of the features,Balenciaga handbag 084828, but on the Windows version of Word to develop a Mac version of Word. Mac version of Word 6.0 a result, there a lot of loopholes, and even some keyboard shortcuts have been changed. This will lead to dissatisfaction with Mac users, even if the new version of Word 6.01 failed to calm the anger.
affected: Microsoft learned this lesson. The following Word 98 has become a very powerful software, then
5, Starfish Sidekick 99 (1998 ��)
Product: Sidekick cell phone has nothing to do with T-Mobile, which is an early PIM. The product was born in 1983, by the then famous at the Borland development, but then follow Borland founder Philippe? Kahn (Philippe Kahn) was incorporated with his new company, Starfish Software.
problem: the late 90s of last century, many PC users who are not bulky, but occupy a small space bloated software (bloatware) particularly objectionable, but Kahn is a slim hopes for the new software (slimware).

Impact: Sidekick 99 in 6 weeks before shipment, Kahn Starfish sold to Motorola, Motorola wants to make use of this acquisition to create a new mobile synchronization technology. But this is not much relationship with the Starfish, and Sidekick 99 became the final versions of the software.
6, Navigator 6 (2000 ��)
products: before the release of Microsoft IE, Netscape Navigator was the browser king of the field, and most computers to access the World Wide Web has become the channel. When Microsoft began to invest the time IE, Navigator has become Microsoft's most powerful opponent.
problem: enterprise software, and Netscape by AOL in 1998 by acquisitions, the impact of too many peripheral issues, forgetting the browser business to invest in the same name. Netscape in November 2000 released a browser, Navigator 6 and Navigator later removed from the name, but the full cost of the product's release 32 months. The initial Navigator 6 to open-source Mozilla browser code base, its appearance is very striking and very fast page loads,Chanel bag Classic 35229, but there are some loopholes, but the browser's startup time is too long, making a number of loyal users to give up the product.

Users need to run another program,Gucci bag New arrival 211967, and the program will prevent users from Jiang TurboTax installed on more than one computer, and sometimes even lead to paying customers temporarily Wufafangwen software. The move triggered a collective action of users, its competitors H & R Block also seize this ad, claiming that their TaxCut software does not contain such a copyright protection program.
Impact: Despite the controversy, but Intuit insists that it only serves to protect inlectual property rights, and refused to make any changes. However, in May 2003, Intuit gave up the product activation process, and thus apologize for any inconvenience to the user. The company also said that anti-piracy technology to enhance product sales unsuccessfully. TurboTax still does not have copyright protection program, but also more and more users start using the network with the anti-piracy software program, rather than buy boxed product.
Product: Treo is not the first smart phone, but it is the first to promote the concept of product development. From 2002, Treo 180, to the later series of more powerful product, Treo's club has undergone a series of changes, first Handspring, then it is PalmOne, then later changed its name to Palm.
issues: 2004, Treo 650, which is the Treo 600 in 2003 released an upgrade to increase the high score screen, Bluetooth and a better camera, and to provide removable battery. The new equipment sold very well, and get a lot of praise. But there are still some shortcomings, such as file system efficiency decreased than in the past, memory is only 23MB, and the old Treo 600 in the number of data does not apply to new products. While the Treo 650 users finally have free 128MB SD card as compensation, but many people still disgruntled, and some even find fault SIM card slot could result in automatic restart.
impact: Palm still continue to sell Treo, both Palm OS version is also Windows Mobile version, but its brand influence has been great damage. Today, Palm has quietly released the latest version of Treo, but the emphasis is placed on the Pre and Pixi WebOS with mobile phones.
problem: In 2005, Microsoft began beta testing a new Hotmail, originally code-namedThe service looks and experience with Microsoft Outlook email client similar to Hotmail and Microsoft announced the name will be removed in favor of using the Windows Live Mail to replace. Unfortunay, many users that the new version of the interface is very poor, even more preferred the interface and the old Hotmail name.
effects: beta brought a long-term benefits are: Microsoft more time to abolish the unpopular decisions. February 2007, Microsoft announced Hotmail renamed Windows Live Hotmail, the official version released the same year in May.
