Is Windows 7 leaning too much towards the Mac side of life? Many Microsoft bloggers are saying that it does, that Windows 7 is too much "form over function", something they accuse Apple of. While superficially they may have a point, the differences between Windows and Mac OS X are still glaringly obvious. Are a few changes to the taskbar enough to make Windows OS X-like? Bloggers like Mary-Jo Foley, Paul Thurrot, and others seem to think so.
There certainly are a number of changes in Windows 7 that vaguely bring the Mac OS X dock to mind - jump lists, for instance, resemble the right-click menu on dock items, and the removal of text labels and increase in icon size make the taskbar look like the dock (you can change to small icons and text labels if you so desire). However, that doesn't mean it also behaves like a dock. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, it's probably a duck, yes - but this one only looks like a duck; it doesn't walk or talk like one.
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."
We know this is Microsoft, they can never figure out whats wrong with their operating system so they just copy everyone else
Well, they *did* have an OS on smart phones before Apple did...

Just no. Microsoft Windows 7 is not even close to being anything like OS X. OS X is more stable, faster, feature rich and secure than Windows will ever be. The only thing that Windows 7 can do is stem the tide of people leaving for Apple and even Linux to a lesser extent. For the first time last week Microsoft Windows has fallen to below a 90% share. Apple OS X has attained a 8.9% share and Linux sits at around 0.75% with other OSs making up the remainder of the difference. Vista has hurt MS and Windows 7 is their attempt at damage control.
Copysoft is at it again
