New Windows verification process creates controversy between ODM and brand vendors

Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 10/25/2011 12:27 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Microsoft's new verification system for Windows 8 - OA 3.0 - which will add complications toward the upstream ODM's production lines and relatively generate significant extra cost, is raising controversy between notebook ODMs and brand vendors as to which side will pay the increased cost, according to sources from PC ODMs.




From DigiTimes:
The sources pointed out that the current procedure of installing the Windows operating system into a hard drive is much easier for their assembly lines, and a production line can easily manufacture 1,000 PC units in a very short time. However, if Microsoft changes its install method for Windows 8, it will require a longer time to install as each machine will need individual time to attend, while sticking a COA label onto a PC will help technicians identify the machines that have already been installed with an operating system. Without the label, it could easily create installation overlap and generate higher cost and yield rate issues to ODMs as Microsoft is charging the fee through the number of times of installation.
