Let's see how Kinect merges this with their XBox network and Kinect. Should be pretty awesome. They are pretty much raping Sony anyway.
Well to be fair, Sony had "help" in getting raped with its security problems. Playstation is a great machine and a great piece of software and so on. But the hacker attack has paralysed the whole network, including PC users.. sniff miss my Everquest wahhhhh. Hope they can get it online again soon.
XBox has one huge flaw, and that there is no blu-ray in it
, where as Playstation does have blu-ray but is not as "cool" as Xbox heh.. I dont own either but when the next gen comes out, then we shall see... I would love and Xbox with Kinect, but no BLU-RAY!!!.. pisses me off. But I suspect Kinect for windows will be just as good so waiting for that... I want to motion swipe my web browsing and gaming hihihi.
I have to completely disagree, i can name many things now. There is no doubt their OS's have their faults, but they still remain the most commercial and mainstream computer digital mediums out their. The technology in Windows and the way it delivers it's experience is quiet simply one of the best models on the market.
Qui, Yes, Si, Da, Aye, you betcha and so on.
Linux requires a fairly tech savy mind to maintain and utilize fully (although the new Ubuntu - wow!)
Yea! The new Ubuntu is great, but I cant for some reason get it to work with my dual screens.. booooooooo.. deal breaker here. I get the same desktop on both, and not one continuous one like in Windows 7. But it does find my wifi printer which is good.
and Apple just hasn't appealed to commercial developers as much for numerous reasons.
Or users
Expensive hardware/software combo that has limited commerical software and next to no games plus a company that has a crappy service record. But it looks nice!
But Windows Phone will never compete fully with open source alternatives like the Android although it has the potential to beat iOS
We shall see. Windows Phone 7 is still relatively new and who knows how open Microsoft will be now that they partnered with Nokia. But yes, Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 main target has to be Apple, and unless Apple gets its act together and upgrades its outdated old iOS then it can be in trouble. Microsoft on the other hand needs to fix Windows Phone 7's main problems.. it wont be a serious contender before that. I have played with a Windows Phone 7 phone and damn it is cool.. love the live widgets, xbox access and all that jazz.
Not really. Bing is different and in many ways better than Google search. But people are use to Google now hehe so.
Vista was Microsoft's attempt to "Applefy" their OS on the security level if you ask me. For years we had heard that Windows Xp was so unsecure and only Apple or Linux were secure bla bla .. so Microsoft took that up and welcome to Vista.. problem was that to make it as secure as other OSs, then they needed to emulate them as well.. so the user experience went down because of the way the Windows universe is. In Apple everything is controlled and approved.. you cant install anything that has not been past Apple.. at least install legally. In linux for the "normal user" you get your programs from pre-approved sources so the security issues are already determined. With Windows Vista, Microsoft has very little (relatively) control over 3rd party programs so they all come in under the category "unsecure" and need administrative privileges or permission to install/run... and that hurts the user experience.
But then Windows 7 came.... thank god. Similar security but much more user friendly.
and IE just looks pretty, the bonnet remains unchanged.
Actually they have changed much.. problem is.. they are trying too much. The good thing about Firefox and especially Google Chrome.. they are simple, easy and feel "light". IE, Safari, Opera and so on.. all feel like 3 ton elephants. But the new IE is fast.. very fast, just annoying in certain aspects for my taste.. Google Chrome ftw.... Google just has to fix the Shockwave Flash bug to make it perfect.
