Microsoft Announces Windows 8

September 13th, 2011 by Andrew Pakula

Windows 8 Start Screen

From ZDnet:

This morning, Microsoft officially took the wraps off of Windows 8, unveiling its radically revised new operating system in front af an audience of software developers.

If you think you know what to expect from Windows 8, just wait till you get your hands on it.

I stayed up far too late last night, experimenting with the developer preview build that Microsoft will show off to the public for the first time today. I wanted to get a good night’s sleep, but I literally couldn’t keep my hands off the sleek Windows 8-powered tablet that I have on loan for the rest of this week.

The new OS has more than its share of rough edges, and the new “modern shell” is disorienting—at least initially. And Windows boss Steven Sinofsky took great pains to stress that this is not a launch but rather the initial availability of the platform for developers. Still, after a few hours of increasingly addictive hands-on experience, I am convinced that this new release will indeed be a very big deal.

Although you can use Windows 8 with a mouse and keyboard, it’s at its best on a touchscreen-equipped tablet like the one I tested. The form factor is thin, but this compact PC is no lightweight; there’s a fully loaded PC under the hood, with an i5 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and a speedy solid-state drive. With a screen resolution of 1366 by 768, it’s capable of playing high-definition videos and meets the minimum spec to arrange two of the new Metro-style apps side-by-side.

The Windows 8 difference is obvious from the moment you boot it up. As part of the setup process, I configured the system to use my Windows Live ID and password as the login, which automatically picked up my picture for the user tile on the Start page. Choosing this configuration also allows you to sync your personalized settings to the cloud so they can roam with you as you switch between devices.

All-time Worst Tech Industry Executive Decisions

September 2nd, 2011 by Andrew Pakula

Ten catastrophes: All-time worst tech industry executive decisions

From zdnet:

Information Technology, software and computer companies are certainly not without their share of poor executive decisions and mismanagement. While dozens of notable examples could have made our list, these were by far the top top 10 worst in the history of the technology industry, causing many billions of dollars of lost revenue or resulted in the downfall of entire companies.

In no particular order:

  • John Opel, IBM: Not buying Microsoft during the PC-DOS/MS-DOS negotiations / Gary Kildall, Digital Research, not licensing CP/M to IBM
  • Adam Osborne, pre-announcement of next Osborne computer
  • Lew Platt, Hewlett-Packard: Entering Itanium Partnership with Intel and discontinuing processor fabrication operations for PA-RISC and Michael Capellas, Killing off the DEC Alpha
  • Carly Fiorina, Hewlett-Packard: Compaq Merger
  • Steve Ballmer, Microsoft: Windows Vista Project Mismanaged
  • John Sculley, Apple Computer: Throwing out Steve Jobs
  • Darl McBride, SCO: Attacking Linux
  • Steve Case and Gerald M. Levin: AOL / Time Warner Merger
  • Jerry Yang, Yahoo!: Refusal of Microsoft Acquisition Offer
  • Mark Hurd, Hewlett-Packard: Penile Priorities mixing with company business/Leo Apotheker: TouchPad development and Infanticide, Hewlett-Packard

Windows XP turns 10 years old

August 25th, 2011 by Andrew Pakula

An excerpt from Computer World:

Windows XP quietly turned 10 years old Wednesday, a milestone for the still-popular operating system that powers nearly half the world’s PCs.

Microsoft did not celebrate the anniversary, eschewing any congratulatory blog post or press release.

On Aug. 24, 2001, Microsoft shifted Windows XP’s status to RTM, for “release to manufacturing,” a term it uses to mark the end of development and the move to duplication and release to computer makers. XP reached retail in October 2001.

One analyst questioned whether it was really the right anniversary to celebrate.

The Windows XP that people loved wasn’t [the original 2001] XP, it was XP SP2,” said Michael Cherry, an analyst with Kirkland, Wash.-based Directions on Microsoft, a research firm that covers only Microsoft.

Windows XP SP2, or “Service Pack 2,” shipped three years later, in August 2004.

“Windows XP is old,” said Cherry. “Ten years in this business is a lifetime.”
