Microsoft on Tuesday offered up far more details on Windows 7, successor to the company's oft-maligned Windows Vista.
In particular, Microsoft is focused on improving the time it takes for Windows to start up and shut down. In addition to its own work, Microsoft has been working directly with computer makers to address all of the factors that affect system performance.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
it's pretty much vista with a few fixes and what they call "user experience" interface. Nothing more and nothing less.
Vista flop
x360 flop
windows 7 flop
Zune flop
NXE flop
what else?
hmm didnt they say that about XP and vista too back then? lol
Hey MS, if you make this one LESS bloated and less of a memory hog than Vista i will buy it. And this time don't try to insult the customers with that ridicules 6 flavor to buy aproach. That was one of the main reasons Vista was shunned. Cause customers came to the conclusion that you cheat them when you offer the complete OS for $450 labled "ultimate" and try to stuff cut down versions that feel like "demo" versions down our throats for the normal price.
The whole 6-7 versions of the same travesty needs to stop. Stick to 3 versions: Normal customer version, Business version, Server version
Normal customer version being the one that includes everything from mediacenter to backup, business version that includes business features like vpn and encryption, and a server version that is optimized for remote access and background services.
Also reduce the freaking memory footprint. Windows is supposed to be an OPERATING SYSTEM, not some bloated crap that eats up 1GB of the main ram to start. An OS is supposed to run in the background enabling you to run your real applications. Not to force its way into the front eating up most of the resources for no reason.
Reasonable price, reasonable memory and resource footprint, and reasonable version policy and i will move from XP-pro to W7. Otherwise i will stay or look to the macside of the lake for better solutions :p
Otherwise it'll be a nail in the coffin, allowing Mac and Linux to go on a marketshare rampage.
