Microsoft to unveil new tablet devices at CES 2011, one with slideout keyboard
Bill Gates has long been a champion of tablet computing, yet as luck would have it, and as is often the case, the market for tablet computing never really took off until Apple decided to throw its hat into the ring. Over the past decade, Microsoft’s tablet initiatives have been overwhelmingly lackluster, but the Redmond-based [...]

Eek, fewer features and a higher pricepoint probably isn’t the best way to take on the iPad, but that’s the route HP appears to be taking until it gets around to releasing a WebOS based tablet sometime in the future. But until then, you’l have to make do with HP’s Windows 7 based tablet.

In early November, Fox was planning to run a Windows 7 themed/sponsored episode of Family Guy, only to have the entire thing axed by Microsoft once they saw how crass the content on Family Guy actually was. A few of those cancelled Windows 7-centric spots have nevertheless surfaced, and not surprisingly, they’re not terribly exciting [...]

At a Microsoft shareholder meeting earlier today, Microsoft CEO said that copies of Windows 7 are flying off the shelves. “We’ve already sold twice as many units as any OS in a comparable time frame,” Ballmer said. “Windows 7 is simply the best PC operating system that we or anyone else has ever built.” Well, [...]

Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Windows 7 has gotten off to a much smoother start than Vista, and indeed, many are calling Windows 7 the most Mac like version of Windows to date. Now that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone well aware of Microsoft’s penchant for copying all things Apple, but what is surprising is that Simon Aldous, [...]

Pardon the Windows 7 default backdrop, but since we bash Microsoft quite often on this blog, we thought we’d switch things up a bit and actually heap some praise upon Apple’s friendly neighbors to the north. The photo above is the default background in Windows 7, and we can’t lie, it’s pretty snazzy. The actual [...]

Monday, November 2, 2009
Apple has apparently made some interesting adword choices as it continues to use the release of Windows 7 as an impetus to convince Windows XP users to switch over to the Mac. Below are targeted Apple switching text ads which have been popping up when users type in phrases like “download windows 7″ and even [...]

Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Windows 7 has gotten a lot of favorable reviews thus far, but when a Japanese TV show tried to demo the new multi-touch capabilities of Microsoft’s new OS, well, let’s just say it resulted in a big fat FAIL.

After seeing a rough cut of a Windows 7 themed episode of Family Guy, Microsoft has axed the promotion/sponsorship over concerns that the subject matter of the episode was far too racy and offensive to be associated with the Windows brand. Specifically, the themed episode wasn’t your typical Family Guy episode, but was instead geared as [...]

Friday, October 23, 2009
Just when you think Rob Enderle can’t get any dumber, he goes ahead and surprises you. At least he keeps things interesting, I guess. In his latest piece, Enderle writes how Microsoft “blinded vulnerable Apple with Windows 7″, as usual, it’s filled with the same backwards logic and asinine reasoning that have become dear ole’ [...]

Thursday, October 22, 2009
Well that sure didn’t take long. Apple tonight debuted three new “Get a Mac” ads which directly take on Windows 7, which hit store shelves earlier today. The first ad is titled “Broken Promises”, and features the PC promising the Mac that Windows 7 won’t have any of the problems that Vista had. Justin Long, [...]

The Windows 7 launch party video that made the rounds a couple of weeks ago was cringe inducing, though the ensuing bleeped out parody clip from Cabel Sasser was downright hilarious. In that vein, we checked out some of the other videos from the Windows 7 launch party team and did a little remix of [...]

Sunday, October 18, 2009
On November 8th, Fox will air a Windows 7 themed/sponsored episode of Family Guy. Now what does such an episode entail? Well, if the clip below is any indication, it means a pathetic attempt at getting a younger viewing audience familiar with some of the features in Windows 7. As Adam Sandler used to say [...]

Friday, October 16, 2009
John Gruber of DaringFireball writes that the general ambivalence PC users have towards their computing experience may be the biggest challenge Microsoft faces as it attempts to convince users to upgrade from Windows XP, a goal which they didn’t achieve with the release of Vista. But so here’s a thought: What if the reason why [...]
