Windows 7

I know much have been said about WindowsPhone and while we are talking about mobility, I couldn't resist the temptation to blog about Windows 7. Well, after all, it's been years since the devastated Vista been the talk of the town. Critics, complaints, frustrations seem to sum it all.
However Vista probably was the turning point for the company to start everything afresh.

With so many issues to deal with, Steve Ballmer must be glad that finally the results might just be starting to come in. The company known for their competitiveness in all fields, from PC OS, we see the challenge in the browser where IE finding hard to beat rival Mozilla Firefox as well as Google Chrome. Then Microsoft did well to be in the game industry with XBox. Then there is the new search engine Bing that is up for the challenge against Google for the first time...and now, we have Windows 7.

Why the need to talk about Windows 7 here? Simply because Microsoft must come in a package. Which is why they probably remain of the biggest company that could bring revolution in the phone industry. If you have been following the news, you will realize that WindowsMobile 7 will come with Xbox Live. Which is why the development of Windows 7 is important because that will also determine the direction of WindowsPhone.

Now, I would like to start by CONGRATULATING the company for their consistent effort to put Vista into their history books and with Windows7 out on the street now, response have been nothing but a thumbs up!! Critics love it...business needs it...here is the revival of Microsoft!!

Now comes the hard part: ensuring that the product is the sort of substantial hit that Redmond needs in order to reverse 2009's declining revenue trend, as well as prove to both the tech sector and the public at large that the era of the desktop operating system has not yet passed.

That might be a tall order, but Microsoft took steps during the Windows 7 development process to ensure that the platform wouldn't be Vista, Part 2.

Early signs seem to indicate that they've succeeded in creating something that people find usable, not to mention aesthetically pleasing. Reviews of the operating system have been generally respectful. For what it's worth, Microsoft also conducted its own internal survey of "thousands of people" involved in the Windows 7 beta process. Of those surveyed, they said during a pre-brief before the Microsoft launch, 90 percent of those who tested the operating system thought the system was "good or very good," and 80 percent of "people self-identifying as Mac users" said they would recommend the system.

Some 8 million people participated in the Windows 7 beta process.

Now I can go on about it in my blog here but what's the fun of reading about it and not having one for yourself?
