Windows 7 Officially Released Tomorrow
Windows 7
After a much maligned Vista fiasco, Microsoft went back to the drawing board and created a new Operating System called Windows 7. When Windows 7 was pre-released a few weeks ago, early adopters hailed it the Vista replacement they had been looking for.
Steve Ballmer, at yesterday’s delivering of the keynote address at the International Consumer Electronics Show, stated that the new OS was ‘nearly final’ and ready for for regular PC users to “download and tinker with”.
Windows 7 is allegedly able to work with net-books and pc’s that have light processing, ram and memory power. From the early adopters, the praise is well earned. Some with said net-books and light powered pc’s state that Windows 7 is fast, easy to use and boots up more quickly than Vista, and drain battery life more slowly than Vista. Gone are the error messages, boot and driver issues. It’s nice to see Microsoft coming out with a product that has everyone buzzing…in a good way.
Steve Ballmer also talked about the new Live Search engines that Microsoft has been developing, to market and place on more notebooks, net-books and pc’s. And he announced a new version of its Ford Sync in-car technology that folds in the voice-operated directory service TellMe, which Microsoft bought in 2007.
He did note that while the economy is experiencing a recession, where people and corporations are saving more and spending less, Microsoft will continue to finance and develop more and better technology to enhance a ‘rich digital life’ for us all. He reassured that Microsoft will continue to develop faster and qucker than their rivals, I mean, technology peers (is what the article says).
