Tomorrow’s Bloggers: All Running Macs?
Matt Asay, author of The Open Road blog, is telling the world how Macs are replacing PCs at corporate meetings. But that’s not all, Asay notes. Check out this photo from the Missouri School of Journalism. Look at all those Macs. The Kids Are All Right! So, what does all this mean for Microsoft?
Okay, let’s not go overboard, Mac fans. Microsoft still holds more than 90 percent of the desktop market. And get this: The VAR Guy believes Microsoft is going to get Windows 7.0 right — because Ballmer & Co is so embarrassed by Vista bloat.
Either way, there’s a key theme here: The desktop is now open to competition and third-party innovation. Instead of bowing to Microsoft’s desktop icon demands, PC makers can now choose Linux (and often do) as a pre-install option on some systems. And unit sales of the Mighty Mac jumped 50 percent in May.
And one look at the Missouri School of Journalism suggests tomorrow’s bloggers will all be running Macs. Just like The VAR Guy.
get this: The DOUGman believes Microsoft is going to get Windows 7, 8, 9 and 10 wrong, *VERY* wrong. I am not a MAC person per se’, as I do not believe one should pay more for the same type of hardware unnecessarily, but Apple is making great strides and I commend them.
The IPOD and IPHONE, the person that came up with those ideas should exec VP of the company.
D.
Microsoft have already hamfisted Windows 7 by dumping the MinWin kernel that big corporate organizations were holding out for.
Windows 7 will now come with the Vista kernel and driver model, not to mention the Touch interface from Surface. Which also happens to be based on Vista.
So Windows 7 will basically just be Vista with a new name and not much more. When exactly did the Var Guy decide we were so stupid?
As far as Microsoft is to be believed, it seems that Windows 7 will be Vista running on new hardware, hopefully powerful enough and more compatible with the Microsoft product. Almost like XP (NT 5.1), which was meant to replace Windows 98 (non-NT) rather than Windows 2000 (NT 5.1)
