Vista booted by 2009?

Windows has annouced that Vista’s successor will be on time for its release in 2009.

The code name so far in these neck of the woods refer to the successor as Windows 7. I am hoping the speed and hardware dependency will be better with the next incarnation.

But of course with Windows, you never know. With Bill Gates out of the picture, I guess Windows will go big this time around. I expect delays and a 2010 release instead of 2009.

Steve chases Bill into retirement

Well, chasing does not seem appropriate but still: iPhone? Macbook? iPod?

 Bill Gates has left his CEO position at Microsoft after years of making billions through the software company. But, did it come at an inconvient time?

The iPod success has boomed into the modern world. Macbooks are gaining popularity and the Macintosh OS X has caught on overtime! Now, the iPhone takes a stab at Microsoft and guess what? Microsoft does not even have an answer.

If you ask me, Bill Gates hindered Microsoft’s progression. He chose not to go down the hardware route onside with making software.

He insisted on not having an iPhone response…Maybe it is for the best of Microsoft that he is leaving.
