Why is WPS free, and we still have to spend money to install Microsoft Office?

It is estimated that many friends have also discovered that even if the domestic WPS free Microsoft Office software is paid, there are still many people who use Microsoft Office software, and even the market share is higher than WPS. Why this bizarre situation? Personally, I think there are several main reasons.

There are indeed too many ads

To be honest, I used WPS for a while, but I ended up choosing Microsoft Office, and the main reason for this is that WPS ads are really annoying. Not only will pop-up ads appear when you turn on the computer, but also the ads will continue during your use, which makes the user experience extremely poor.

Of course, I know that this is mainly because WPS is free, so it needs to find ways to make a profit to keep the project running, but I still need to think about the use of users. Otherwise, once a large number of users switch to Microsoft Office, it will also be a great loss for WPS.

2.Microsoft Office is more stable

In fact, in the earliest Chinese market, there was no Microsoft, and only WPS was dominant. Since there was nothing to compete with WPS, it was also charged at the time. Microsoft's office software wanted to enter the domestic market at that time, but it was not recognized by users, so it signed a cooperation agreement with WPS.

The cooperation stipulates that Microsoft's office software can directly open WPS documents, and WPS will use Microsoft's fame to enter the international market.

With the gradual increase in the use of Microsoft Office software, users are slowly making comparisons in their hearts, and Microsoft Office software with stable performance has been favored by more people. At this time, Microsoft unilaterally tore up the agreement and no longer supported WPS documents, but many users and companies have become accustomed to Microsoft Office, so a large number of WPS users switched to Microsoft, and Microsoft has also completely taken root in China.

3.Microsoft Office software is available for free

Although Microsoft's office software does charge a fee, it is generally for more formal companies, and only they will buy genuine software.

For most people, Microsoft Office only needs to be installed and registered and activated to use, so the Internet is full of a large number of cracked versions, and this version is the most used version by Chinese users. After all, ordinary people are accustomed to free thinking, and Microsoft is far from the sky, which results in the fact that although there are a large number of users of Microsoft Office software in China, Microsoft may not even receive one-tenth of the money.

In fact, there is another aspect, that is, some professional exams require proficiency in the use of Microsoft office software, which is also an important reason why Microsoft office software can be popularized. In general, although WPS is a local product, it does not have any advantages compared with Microsoft Office, so it is not surprising that everyone uses Microsoft Office.

Because everyone's living habits are different, some people like to use WPS, and some people like to use Microsoft Office, so some people will spend money to install Microsoft Office.

Microsoft Office is better to use and more standardized, WPS is not universal, it will be subject to some limitations, and there are some features that Microsoft has WPS that does not. Although WPS is free to install, some of the functions in it need to be charged, and Microsoft Office will not have to worry after spending money to install.

I think it's a habit, although many WPS are free, but some of the functions of Microsoft's office softwareWPS are functions that require members to use, such as enabling macros, WPS does not come with its own, and can only be achieved by installing plug-ins; The second is that Microsoft is actually more exposed, and now many schools are teaching Microsoft, which is also subtle.

Microsoft Office is an office software suite based on the Windows macOS operating system developed by Microsoft (Microsoft) Corporation. Common components are Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.

In terms of function, Office is more mature, while WPS chooses more commonly used functions, such as no access database; However, for enterprises, various situations may be encountered, so it is of course better to choose a software with more complete functions and mature functions;

Office has a large user base and has become more and more "official" software, and the best way to communicate between the internal and external parts of the enterprise is to unify a way, for example: "Office will cause the problem of format change after opening WPS text, etc.", and this situation is unacceptable for enterprises, it is impossible to say that there will be problems such as format conversion when meeting communication or cross-company data sharing (obviously increasing the workload, and will also be ambiguous about the meaning of the document), Therefore, it is necessary to choose a unified office software;

Office is Microsoft's own office software, which has strong compatibility on the Windows system, while Kingsoft, as a local software, needs to call the underlying hardware and software devices of Windows, which will cause certain problems, such as slow card, data loss, and a series of problems such as inability to start;

Other problems, the certificate is needed in the society now, MS office certificate is office2010, many people will take a certificate to prove themselves, then the company will also think that office is official, will require enterprise employees to use offce;

To sum up, it is logical for enterprises to use office, but WPS as a software of Kingsoft, the function has been improved a lot, and some places are closer to people's operating habits, I also used WPS for a few years, and then used Office, I hope WPS can continue to improve the function, and the development is getting better and better.

Looks like you didn't figure it out.

If you want WPS in the enterprise, you have to use the enterprise version. There is also a fee.

It's just that no one checks the free WPS used by enterprises in general.

But big business doesn't dare to do that.

WPS is powerful but immature, easy to automatically freeze, data may be lost, Office is relatively mature, so use Office.

WPS is Kingsoft's Office is from Microsoft, WPS is developing, and Office is mature.

You have to believe in a truth. Domestic ones are always a little worse than foreign ones.

In fact, there are not so many good and cheap things

In our day-to-day work, everyone has access to office software. Among them, the most used are Microsoft's Office and Kingsoft's WPS。Microsoft Office is an office software developed by Microsoft Corporation, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc., and is a paid software.

The problem of user habitsMicrosoft's office software has been ingrained in everyone's hearts for so many years. A lot of people don't like to use free WPSI chose to use Office because of my own usage habits, using familiar software, and high efficiency in completing work. Although WPS integrates some simple and commonly used functions, there is still a gap between the level of professionalism and Office.

In terms of usage perspective, many people have encountered the problem of garbled characters when using office software, such as when we connect documents with other colleaguesOnce the two people use the same version of the software, they will find that the content is messed up and missing, and sometimes it needs to be re-imported if it cannot be repaired.

Although the user experience problem is that WPS is free, it also has its own means of making money, that is, advertising and some VIP charging items. The proportion of WPS's Internet advertising services in total revenue is gradually increasing. The data shows that the Internet advertising profit model based on "free + advertising" has become the revenue pillar of an office document software.

For example, when you are concentrating on your work, a pop-up ad suddenly pops up, which greatly affects the user experience. And many features need to be opened for a paid VIP to use.

Free fart,It's free to install and view the document.,All kinds of fees when writing the document.,Don't pay money.,A lot of graphic functions can't be used.。

Although WPS is free, it also has its own means of making money, that is, advertising and some VIP charging items, and some major functions still need to be opened to use VIP, which is better than Office.

Because free is certainly not as good as spending money, spending money has its worth spending money.

This may be because they feel that Office is more secure. And the operability is relatively strong, but in fact both are about the same.

In fact, there are a lot of things to charge on WPS, and Office is more functional in comparison.

Compared with Office, there is still a certain gap between WPS and Office, which is more official and formal.

There are a lot of features that cost money, and it makes sense to be free for free, after all, there is not much performance.

Because WPS is a relatively junk software, and Office is more complete and easier to use.

Why do many people choose Office instead of using WPS, and what is the reason?

Free is not as good as charging, hey, do you need to say that it is better to charge for charging.

It may be that the function and role are different.

Asking this question, it seems that the subject does not know much about WPS. As a member of WPS, I can responsibly tell you that WPS has a free version, but if you want to use it well, you still have to spend money, just like Microsoft's Office software.

Let's start with my experience with WPS. At first, I also felt that the Office suite was too expensive for hundreds of years a year, so I used free WPS. At that time WPS had a service that made me want to stop :

WPS Cloud. It can automatically back up documents to the cloud, whether I am on my phone, tablet or PC, log in to WPS, I can do it at any time. Nima, it's so easy to use.

Then, I "got on it". Because the cloud space sent is only 1 GB, it will prompt that the cloud space is full in less than half a year. I'm too lazy to clean up the backup file, plus there are many free WPS ads, and ads will pop up at any time when you boot up and use it, which is annoying.

And a lot of **to text, text to ** to pdf these functions, free members can't use it. To put it simply, if you don't spend money, you use the WPS beggar version, and it will bother you with ads! So, I spent money on a regular membership.

After becoming a member, I found that there are more expensive "super members", and there are many ppt, documents and other templates on the rice husk, which I need to use, and I also need to spend another money to become a member of the rice husk. If WPS was a "pig", Jinshan Company would have dismantled it a long time ago and sold it according to the categories of pig heads, pork ribs, tenderloin, and pork belly.

To tell the truth, now the two major office software WPS and Office, if you want to experience their full functions, you still have to pay. The free lunch is gone. But in comparison, they are all charged, WPS is still much cheaper than Office, and Office is several times more expensive than WPS.

I'll compare the picture above for everyone.

Since WPS is so much cheaper than Office (equivalent to what the subject said, WPS is free, why do you still have to install Office), why do many people still use Office? I think there are two reasons: the more familiar you are with a certain software, the more complete the function exploration is, and the more reluctant you are to use its competing products, which is called habit kills our motivation to try first, and this human weakness is well exploited by merchants; Now the cloud space is too powerful, you use WPS, office, the longer you use, the more things stored in the cloud, the more difficult it is for you to get rid of, change the software, move everything in the cloud, the cumbersome degree is tantamount to moving, so that even if Office is several times more expensive than WPS, most people will comfort themselves:

The next trip to the hotel will cost more than this, forget it, continue to use it. In short, it's hard for you not to spend some money on two office software, the difference is a matter of spending more and spending less.
