Windows – The New Version!

02 Sep

Microsoft has made numerous changes to the Windows 7 user interface in response to user feedback, which is scheduled for formal launch either at the end of this year or early next year depending other factors.

Microsoft also made changes to alerts that signal when an application needs attention.

The icon for a so-called “needy” application will now flash up to seven times, as opposed to the previous three, in an effort to grab the user’s attention.

Windows Vista, the company’s current Operating System, has failed to catch on with mainstream computer users while businesses have shunned it outright.

Many users have complained about Vista’s hardware requirements, intrusive security measures, and lack of compatibility with older applications. 

Windows 2000 and ME were repackaged editions of Windows 98 ;) hopefully Windows 7 a repack of Vista will be more accepted as a dependable new operating system.

Built on the technology of Windows NT 4.0 …. Windows XP is the best Windows eXPerience! :D

Microsoft Corporation last night (Wednesday) unwrapped another beta version (IE8 Beta 2) for more testing its also available for all consumers, this is the corporation now unveiling new privacy and security features as the company battles the upstage Firefox’s browser.

The new browser IE8 includes a browsing tool called an accelerator, which allows you to highlight text on a Web site and then choose from a variety of functions, including different search engines, language translation or map displays.

Now for a spot of technical stuff for the Internet Explorer fans:

Microsoft Corporation now commands 73% of the internet browser market, while Mozilla’s Firefox has 19% market share, this is according to research firm Net Applications.

Microsoft’s lead has fallen in recent years.

Just four years ago, Microsoft’s market share was more than 91%. In addition to Firefox, Apple Inc. is becoming more of a competitor as strong sales of Macintosh computers have boosted use of its Safari browser, which has about 6% of the market.

Use of Firefox shot up in June when a new version was released.

More than eight million people downloaded the application in the first 24 hours after it went public.

enjoy! ;) magic
