That’s so much better than: Man falls into girlhole while texting…”
60-percent of all companies are not going to upgrade to Win 7 This year.
There, I fixed that for you John;)
Guess it depends when MS deadhead support for XP. Seriously, an almost 10 year old OS really has no business is being supported any more.
With linux you’re lucky to get support 9 months after whatever stupid animal-name version came out.
Businesses WILL upgrade to 7, but in the usual time frame of testing and all that stuff that businesses HAVE to do before doing anything major to their systems.
Microsoft’s social networking is based around SharePoint/Portal which will be “everywhere” in their application stacks going forward. Oh goody.
If netbooks and mobile personal computing are the future, and most pundits agree that it is, the first engaging OS for netbooks will conquer the IT world.
Bring that sound system to No Agenda. It will be a wake up call for Adam, in the morning.
I figure the biggest roadblock for Linux on notebooks is the need to use the arcane syntax of the command line interface. If there were helpful dialog boxes that would let one perform many more of the routine housekeeping tasks that come up, well that would be very nice indeed.
Linux on the netbook is already dead. Windows 7 on the netbook is the final nail on the coffin.
ChromeOS is simply too late.
Nokia just used its lobbyists in India to ban all Chinese phones. Talk about weaselish… That’s like Pepsi getting Coke banned. And of course they said the Chinese phones could explode, just to be petty.
The hell with Nokia.
I don’t know how many copies of W7 they will sell this year but Vista is going to vanish fast once W7 hits the market.
The people running the shareware version of W7 are going to just about have to buy the OS and there are a lot of those.
On the other hand there is still no compelling reason to change your OS if you are running XP or Vista.
#3 Like they did with Vista? Are you serisouly believing that MS did everything right with win7? puhleeze!
xp Was 2k finished and win 7 is vista finished i think so,
And About Netbooks Linux can Be a good choice More Then Chrome Os.
If i Would Like To have A netbook in feature it would be Mostly With Win 7
M$’s big mistake is they don’t study the market to see what their users want. XP was their most ‘perfected’ product. Most users don’t care 32 or 64 bit, they just want something that works. I guess you can still hook a sucker with the ‘wow’ factor or by forcing it down the manufacturers throat, but that’s not an indicator of success. It’s frustrating to see that the semi intelligent computers you could talk to and get answers from of my childhood fantasies have yet to come to light. Instead today’s computers are still doing the same stupid tasks as 30 years ago. They just do it ‘prettier’. ooooh shiny!

Older than that:
XP = NT OS kernel
Win 7 = NT OS kernel
