Windows Service Pack 1
Windows 7 SP1 available
Since yesterday is available on the web the new update, the only far-from Windows 7. Many users were waiting for this story because, as mentioned, so far there was no official release from the people of Microsoft Windows for the last of their systems to acquire certain operating aggiornamiento.
But not all rosy. We will see why, before we say some key issues. The news had been raised by Michael Kleef on 10 February. This Windows Product Manager had said precisely that this update, called Service Pack 1 of Windows 7, was already in its final phase, ie RTM (the code is already completed no longer needs the developers any finishing touch). What Kleef was also commented that SP1 would be available via Windows Update.
But, it is important to know that all the innovations of SP1 (which also function as radical innovations to the extent that many of the updates were already available on Windows Update, but now they are packed in a unit that makes things easier) are routed to Windows Server 2008 R2.

News of the upcoming Windows
Windows .. ¿8?
Much has been made from "involuntary" filtering program roadmap purpose of developing a new version of Microsoft's operating system, Windows. Some have labeled him as a name and everything. No one would be more to Windows 7, if not, however, before a Windows 8. Others question whether this nuva desktop version, that is "normal" and say that what you are talking about is more a new version of the Microsoft operating system for tablets. The truth is that we have no assurance so far, and everything you say will be speculation.
Clearly we can not not be so naive and think that the leaks of information are "involuntary" to one who knows even a little Windows market strategies as a phenomenon that is occurring today will not find it strange at all , giving some credence and validity to the rumors and comments that "leak" through the web.
So try to make clear what are the basic lines of these rumors, and so far we have no statement "official".
In principle, the fundamental news is that it is quite possible that in the middle of this year (2011) Microsoft is introducing its new version of Windows. It is estimated that it could be in September, then it will be conducting the Professional Developers Conference. Read more
Windows 7 for tablets
windows 7 for tablets
The brief but intense history of Windows on the world of tablets is not without its own issues both tragic drama and the comedy. Perhaps the right word to understand what has happened to Windows in this connection is that of irony. For if at first seemed to be concerned about Microsoft's innovations in developing operating systems tablets, users now leave no direction to thank the coveted Apple iPhone. Against this the Windows 7 tablets have been spectators of a scene which can only watch but not participate. The irony is that probably without the impetus of advertising resources, economic, time, etc. Microsoft has addressed the development of operating systems for tablets, Apple's success-a large parasite might say would not have been possible.
But what is the reason that makes users more likely to choose Apple rather than Microsoft when it comes to purchasing a tablet?
We could answer this question by giving a single answer: Windows 7 falls short in its proposals. Well today is obvious that users have expectations that market relates to tablets which claim to have an experience equidistant from the smartphone and a netbook. However, while Windows 7 multitouch system is very interesting, brings basic problems dificiultan effective navigation by the user. Read more
Windows 7 or XP
Windows 7
Everyone knows that in the world of operating systems and large multinational firms, things are not simple nor univocal but often analyzes possibilities are absolutely contradictory.
In this connection it is easy to see that Windows 7 has long been growing at a pace that would allow long beat Vista usage share by July this year
.
At the end is delayed another month, but according NetMarketShare has succeeded, becoming the second most used OS in the world with a 14.46% share, leaving over Vista (14.34%), but still far behind Windows XP ( 61.87%).
Interestingly, according to figures NetMarketShare, all operating systems have lost share, except for Windows 7. Does this mean that Win7 is capturing Mac OS X or Linux? No. This decline is widespread because the mobile OS, which share the same cake that the desktop is growing rapidly.
On the other hand, however well it is going to Windows 7, XP is still by far the master of the operating systems. In fact, Windows XP is more used than all other OS together (including Mac OS X and various Linux distributions). And despite that, thanks to the release of Windows 7 has been significantly decrease the amount of people using XP, it still lacks enough to get even the 50% share. Read more
It comes with HP's new WebOS tablet
It comes with HP's new WebOS tablet
Sooner or later, everything becomes clear. Many times it happens that large firms make movements hidden from the user community, so that the reaction of affirmation or denial becomes possible only a posteriori. Since HP acquired earlier this year Palm few concrete developments have occurred with respect to that relationship. 've Heard rumors here and there, but never any confirmation. It was time for someone to spell out a story based on reliable sources.
However, statements by the director of HP PCs, Todd Bradley, in a meeting with the shareholders of the company finally come to confirm that HP will release a tablet with WebOS earlier this year. Perhaps this is a story founded enough as we were demanding.
As you know, the only news on the subject we've had in recent months has been the announcement of HP that reduced its proposed Windows 7 tablet with an enterprise version of the HP Slate. With the same reason also announced that later this year would be ready and WebOS version 2.0.
At the time of the acquisition of Palm by HP already said that the main interest of the second was the first operating system, WebOS. Some workers have important Palm left the ship, but the WebOS seems to be confident enough to be the chosen operating system. Read more
Farewell to HP Slate. Hello webOS 2.0!
HP Slate and the dilemma of operating systems
Clearly our present is very far from what happened a few years ago in the world of operating systems. Everything changes, everything changes, and mentioned industry is not without it.
You've been through, in a very short time, a centralized ion Attn PCs and laptops to a growing importance of the mobile world and also that of the tablets, which is the focus of much of the innovation.
Two new news we'd like to share here. On the one hand we find the decision not to market HP HP Slate, which was to lead Windows 7, and on the other we have the announcement of a new webOS version 2.0 later this year. But let's go step by step ...
On Slate, HP has decided that only versions will be launched to corporate companies and other institutions, so that the average consumer, that we most of us, you can not get to try this new tablet that has raised so many expectations. Rather than the cancellation of the device itself, this is important because another product that would take Windows (W7 Home Premium) has been ruled out. Read more
Good news for Microsoft
Good news for Microsoft
No doubt that the bad times of a firm trading as Microsoft does not lead to a radical crisis under which no longer able to speak of his own existence. Quite the contrary, low long periods are accompanied by hikes that position again, in this case Microsoft, in a privileged place.
This can be well understood when we see how badly that Microsoft is going in the field of the tablets, there is still good news for Redmond in their product: Windows 7. More specifically, these days have been published some numbers will not entirely happy with the competition. Microsoft appears to have come from the sale of licenses of Windows 7 to 175 million.
For a point of comparison, Windows Vista came to a similar number of licenses sold at 18 months of being released, while Windows 7 has achieved in 9 months, half the time. That is, Windows 7 is sold twice as fast as Windows Vista.
In addition, Microsoft has had the good sense to report this figure as "7 licenses sold per second" (to be exact, are 7.35 licenses per second), which helps us to gauge the magnitude of these quantities. Read more

The final goodbye to Windows XP
The final goodbye to XP
Windows has announced recently that it will not be possible to buy netbooks with Windows XP preinstalled. As we know, netbooks were the last place where the spark of XP survived and now deteriorated and quite needy. More than two years ago that Windows XP had stopped selling to manufacturers and end users. From October 22 this year and not with that concession by Microsoft to the melancholy users can count on.
This removal of market Windos XP was not an overnight. If you first stopped selling the operating system, followed by offering to pre-install on netbooks, but also was given the option to downgrade to those who purchase the Windows Vista Business edition. Then, this was ruled out, since the launch on Windows 7 downgrade option eliminated. The last step in dismantling this scale was that decision to remove the XP netbooks.
In a portion of the user community should not generate much resistance this decision by Microsoft. For a long time that more than 80 percent of netbooks sold in the U.S. market come with Windows 7. When shown that Windows 7 runs well on PCs with Atom processor, and solving that problem on the inability to run more than 3 applications simultaneously, many of the users have come to accept the Windows 7.

In this there will be improvements of performance, he is a patch that will support XP that 7 does not already own the popular democracy of any microprocessor, and is a good attempt to update hundreds of millions of users and business premises - not Linux, not OSX, not BSD, OpenSolaris, not from XP on a partition XP NTFS to a capsule within the modern, agile and rendidor operating system that was promised four years ago.
