The biggest question facing Windows 7 is whether Microsoft can really think small.
When designing Windows Vista, Microsoft put a lot of effort into taking advantage of sophisticated computer hardware, with fancy graphics on the surface and lots of new processing tricks inside. Microsoft says this positioned the operating system for the future, despite the complaining of many users who grumble that Vista has bogged down their computers with unneeded frills and incompatibilities.
While there is some more high-powered glitz coming in Windows 7, the real challenge for Microsoft isn't the latest multi-core superchip, but making the operating system work well, and affordably, on stripped down PCs, netbooks and other small devices.
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."
I believe they can, currently they i trying to reduce the raw power needed to run the new windows OS, windows 7.
I am running windows 7 on my PC and i already see the difference off the way it uses it resources unlike its predessor Vista, although my PC is very high spec it, i believe after a while microsoft will try and lower its memory footprint even more as i have found ways to do so.
Components including RAM, CPU and HDDs are getting cheaper and cheaper meaning that 3rd world countries are starting to able to afford parts that could run XP without hassle, meaning that if microsoft are heading the right way and cheapen up the price of their software countries like africa, or parts of asia can catch-up with the rest off the world in terms of technology.
Depends how small the World is.
