Windows 7 demo: all multitouch and no meat
Posted by: Nick in Current Events, Technology
This week was the 6th annual All Things Digital, Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer was there to take questions on various things, such as, why Microsoft failed to acquire Yahoo, and Windows Vista. But that wasn’t only thing that they were doing, Microsoft also was introducing the next version of Windows called Seven. They did not show much about Seven only the new features they added. They also demoed this; you can view the video at http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080528-windows-7-demo-all-multitouch-and-no-meat.html
Windows Vistas had a huge amount of public build-up as with Seven, Microsoft has kept Seven pretty quite for the most part. There has been non-stop talk about Vista since 2003 till 2006, as well all know it now, Vista didn’t deliver all the Promised features during its extended development. Because of this with the widespread of negative perception, hurt both Microsoft and Windows brands. Microsoft is keeping Windows Seven quite due to this problem. Microsoft wants to deliver all the features promised in Windows 7 and Promise that it will ship everything in late 2009/early 2010.

The end of XP is just right around the corner. As of June 30th Microsoft’s most successful operating system, Windows XP will be discontinued. Both Hewlett-Packard and Dell will be selling windows XP as a downgrade option. The computers will be Vista Business and Vista Ultimate that have been factory downgraded to Windows XP at the customer’s request. When the customer buys a PC from Dell or HP it will have Windows XP but already has a Paid-For upgrade to Vista when the customer chooses to do so.
