| Abstract | There are many studies in information systems on the adoption of new innovations. This paper, on the other hand, presents the findings of an empirical study, which explores factors affecting the adoption of upgrading software. End users' perception of former products significantly affects their adoption of the upgrading products and thus, their behavior changes accordingly. We use Windows operating systems as an example. Most people have been using Windows operating systems. They are familiar with the current software. Although Microsoft has enhanced the capabilities of new Windows operating systems, these new features are sometimes more than necessary. Thus, what factors drive the users to upgrade? A survey is carried out in a university and a government department. 300 data points from microcomputer users are collected. Five hypotheses are formulated to test research concepts from marketing and information systems. From the marketer's point of view, our findings indicate that adopters of upgrade software are stronger in opinion leadership and more independent when making purchase decisions. They also prefer seeking product information by their own effort. We have borrowed two innovation acceptance factors, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, from the technology acceptance model in information systems. We find that upgraders and non-upgraders have different perceptions of ease of use and usefulness in the older software versions. Furthermore, software usefulness is more significant and crucial to urge the users to buy new version products than software ease of use. Implications of our findings, from both a researcher's and a practitioner's perspectives are discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
