SO What is WIndows 7

If you’re looking for information about Windows 7, you’ve come to the right place. And as we make new information available, we’ll make sure you can find it all from here. If you want day-by-day news about Windows 7, sign up for the RSS feeds of the Windows team blogs.

win7

It’s the next version of Windows for PCs, and it’s the result of working hand-in-hand with our partners and with people who use Windows in the real world every day. We’re paying particular attention to the things they’re telling us are important to them and will make their PCs work the way they want them to—things like enhanced reliability, responsiveness, and faster boot and shut-down. We’re also trying to make their everyday tasks easier, like connecting and syncing devices, browsing the web, and managing a home network.

Of course, we’re also working on new capabilities, so people will be able to do things with Windows 7 that were difficult (or perhaps impossible) to do with PCs before. Finally, we’re working hard to ensure that Windows 7 will run on any PC and work with any program that works today with Windows Vista, so upgrading from Windows Vista will be easy.

We hope this helps you find what you’re looking for. Please check back soon.

Microsoft Confirms “Windows Cloud” OS

At its Professional Developers Conference (PDC) event later this month, Microsoft will publicly unveil its “Windows Cloud” Internet-based OS, the company confirmed.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced the plans at a Software plus Services partner event in London last Wednesday. “We need a new operating system designed for the cloud and we will introduce one in about four weeks, we’ll even have a name to give you by then. But let’s just call it for the purposes of today “Windows Cloud”. Just like Windows Server looked a lot like Windows but with new properties, new characteristics and new features, so will Windows Cloud look a lot like Windows Server.”

A Microsoft representative did not directly confirm the reports. When asked for clarification, however, he said, “I can confirm the statement I provided echoes what Steve said.”

“As we’ve discussed publicly, Microsoft is investing heavily in its Software + Services vision, particularly as it relates to the services platform to deliver a set of solutions that address our customer’s needs,” the spokesman said. “In addition to our current, widely adopted service-based applications, such as Microsoft Online Services and Office Live Workspaces, we are working with many of our customers, partners and our broad developer community to understand their needs for extensible, scalable services platforms. We have publicly discussed a roadmap of commitments for our services strategy, most notably from Ray Ozzie at MIX 08 and the Financial Analyst Meeting.”

“We are excited to talk more about our progress and opportunities for customers and partners at the Professional Developers Conference in a few weeks, but we don’t have any further details to share at this time,” the Microsoft spokesman said. “You can go to the PDC website for more information.”

Cloud computing might be considered as the back end of Web 2.0 applications, or as software as a service. The term cloud computing comes from the use of a cloud image to represent the Internet or some large networked environment as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure behind it. In cloud computing IT-related capabilities are provided “as a service,” allowing users to access those services from the Internet (”the cloud”) without knowledge of, expertise with, or control over the technology infrastructure that supports those services. In essence this is distributed computing.
