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

New Windows 7 64 bit

11 Jul

While Windows Vista (launched in early 2007) addressed a number of Window’s XP’s biggest issues, most notably a much needed security refresh, Microsoft’s most current operating system (OS) came with its own string of new headaches, like incessant pop-ups and some frustrating incompatibilities (not to mention its own set of flaws).

Despite what those Mac vs. PC commercials might say, Microsoft has been listening, and its answer is Windows 7.

It recently gave a preview version to a number of early-access developers and journalists, so let’s run down some of the highlights of their early impressions of this OS that could still be several years away.

Improved User Interface – Vista looks a lot like XP, an important thing for ease of transition from one operating system to the next.

So, naturally, Windows 7 will look an awful lot like Vista, but, that’s not to say that it won’t deliver a number of important additions, perhaps the biggest being a series of “gestures” that will interpret your mouse hovering over something as an indication that you’d like to see more information about it.

For those who didn’t know Windows is based on the original WIMP used on RISC OS machines which powered Archimedes machines, I know – I had one :D

WIMP was what was displayed “Windows, Icons, Menu and Pointer” i think.

02 Mar

In response to user feedback, its been reported that Microsoft has made numerous changes to the Windows 7 user interface as they ready the operating system viewed by many as a make or break product for the software maker.

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.

Other changes also include a more noticeable flashing animation in a bolder color of orange.

Additional changes include modifications to the taskbar pane that allow it to display a greater number of application icons, a change that makes it easier for users to pin new apps to the taskbar, and more flexible icon and gadget view options.

Microsoft needs Windows 7 to be a hit. :)

Windows 7 (Mobile)

01 Mar

Unsurprisingly, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said that the 7th iteration of Microsoft’s popular mobile OS will be released to manufacturing next year.

Microsoft told ET that Windows Mobile will get more and more shared technology with Windows, bringing in technology such as, “browsers, presentation services, and even, in the future, the kernel, and that the amount of shared technology will only increase over time.”

Lastly, Microsoft confirmed that the corporation will not be producing a Microsoft Phone, but only sticking to the phone operating systems.

Windows XP Licenses – extension

23 Jan

Originally Microsoft had given Windows XP OEM licenses until 31st January 2009 however – Microsoft have eased off and renewed the deadline for OEM distributors to make Windows XP OEM licenses available up until 31st December 2009.

This is  yet another sign of the market’s resistance to Windows Vista, and of the growing realization within the channel that many customers have decided to simply skip Vista and wait for the arrival of Windows 7.

Microsoft says that should be ready for late 2009 or early 2010, but some reports have suggested it could come as early as mid-2009.

Good news all round ;) magic

A new version of Microsoft Windows

14 Jan

Windows 7 (Trial)

On 9 January members of the public will get the chance to download the successor to Windows for themselves.

Windows 7 would be the pivot of a broader Microsoft push to improve the way its separate software and service families work together.

The minimum requirements for running Windows 7 are a PC with a 1 Ghz processor, 1GB of RAM, 16 GB of disk space, 128MB of video memory and support for DX9 graphics.

Some of the Windows 7’s features help it work with other devices.

A “home group” system makes it straightforward to enrol PCs, Xbox consoles, media servers and other gadgets into a local network that can share media and content.

As with Vista it also comes with anti-piracy features, where your machine crashes when installing peer 2 peer software or torrent software, also this new version enables tracking.

Microsoft know their stuff.

Hopefully when released in full it will not be riddled with bugs ;)

have fun! ;) magic
