Can Microsoft lower the Windows footprint with Windows 7 ?
Category: News | November 7th, 2008
The big news in computing at the moment seems to be Microsoft’s upcoming new Windows 7 operating system and we have some more detail for you. It appears Windows 7 will have a shorter boot time, more efficient memory usage, greater reliability and improved battery life for laptops.
Minimizing the footprint of Windows 7 for low cost laptops would be a significant step for Microsoft especially for those running Windows XP which is now a seven year old operating system that Microsoft wishes to move on from.
Although any improvements Microsoft can make which reduces hardware requirement is moving in the right direction, but it’s more of a question of what may be realistic in the terms of minimum requirements of Windows 7, such as RAM , graphic processor, graphic memory, and processor size and speed.

Microsoft Windows 7 for netbooks on its way?
Nearly every one i know who use computers on a professional level have regressed to XP after the very unpleasant experience of VISTA(or Myopia) as i have aptly named it i’ll think you’ll agree.
Something has been bothering me ever since ‘Myopia’ was released and ’tis this…
Question: Why would Microsoft release such an inconsistant and poorly designed heap of junk?
Answer: Double revenue! Microsoft new that all non pro’s would trundle alone with it oblivious to it’s tens of flaws and keep paying for engineers to reinstall and repair and then eventually revert back to XP for a rather large fee of the license code, where as anyone with an ounce of computing knowlage had already either stuck with XP untill Windows 7 was released or had reverted back to XP after a week of responding to a barrage of questions every time they even thought of depressing a button. Hey presto Double revenue !!!
