Is Windows 7 Going to be Anything Like Windows Vista? 2007-08-02 01:51:31 Microsoft Windows
7 is the latest internal name and a rebrand of Windows vienna which is the successor of Vista
.htm">Windows Vista
. Microsoft promised the software would be ready in three years time and the same delay that took Windows Vista five years to launch would no longer happen in Windows 7. Microsoft said they have made the necessary organizational changes to ensure the software is delivered in three years.

Windows 7 and Window Mobile 7: iPhone Influence 2007-08-02 01:47:57 A good friend to me Rob Enderle wrote a fantastic article which totally hits the nail on the head and is exactly what I have been saying for quite a while!

It provides a lot of potential value in its products but if people don’t get access to or use that value, it is effectively worthless. While Vista isn’t doing that poorly considering the bad press that has surrounded it, it clearly didn’t excite the market as Window
s.htm">Windows
95 initially did or the iPhone
does.
With every OEM looking at the iPhone and now capable of articulating what they want, Microsoft is getting a message it can’t ignore: It has to fix the user interface for Windows and the rest of its desktop products dramatically. It also now knows if it doesn’t do this, it won’t move Windows 7 and, like every company, Microsoft wants sales volume.
