Windows 7 in 2009?

As Microsoft releases various betas of Windows 7 and new betas get leaked weekly, it looks increasingly like we'll see Windows 7 in 2009. The question for this blogger is, should Windows 7 make its way into Ed Tech in 2009? The answer, in the spirit of 2009 predictions and resolutions, is no, for a heck of a lot of reasons.

Bob Dole will stick to Windows XP, thank you!

JsonHenry5610d ago

The beta I tried out seems like it will be decent enough. But not decent enough for me to pay $200 for it when Vista is just now solid enough to use.

Kevin McCallister5610d ago

So people who actually pay for their Windows OS's actually exist in the real world? I thought they were a myth.

kwyjibo5610d ago

The bulk of OS sales are to OEMs and enterprise licenses. Trying to buy a laptop/system without Windows installed is a b*tch.

Another Rushed out OS =epic Fail again for MS

Sircolby455610d ago

Apparently you missed all of the reviews stating Windows 7 is already an excellent and stable OS and the beta process has barely begun. Yah really sounds like they are on their way to "epic fail."

Kakkoii5610d ago

It's not rushed out in any shape or form. Because it is Vista, but much more improved/optimized.

Vista is the rushed out form of Windows 7. Windows 7 is completely stable already in it's beta form, and runs as fast as a new install of XP even.

incogneato5610d ago

gayest article ever. all he does is talk about other operating systems.

stop approving trash like this. this isnt news, this is just some random dorks opinion on a blog.

pippoppow5610d ago

All they want to do is rush out products which wind up being defective. They should take their time and release a high quality product finally. When will they learn their lessons?!

Kakkoii5610d ago

Wow, is your brain the size of a wallnut?

Sorry, your post just sounded so stupid. Your talking as if Windows 7 is a whole new OS that was created in 3 years.

It is not a whole new freaking OS. It has been in the making since Vista was in the making.. because it is Vista! It's just been improved on and heavily optimized. And the results are great.

Microsoft did learn their lesson. Instead of just letting Vista be, they heard the complaints and worked on creating a upgraded version that was much better, instead of making people wait 7 years for a whole new OS.

This is basically Vista 2.0: What should have been.

HDgamer5610d ago

I won't use this unless its pretty much like xp but a lot more stable than vista. As a former vista owner I feel that vista just has so many complications. I use my pc for a lot of things, downgrading back to xp was a better choice.

incogneato5610d ago

you dont know what youre talking about. XP is obsolete trash compared to Vista. if you have an ancient computer, then i could see your point. otherwise, Vista is leaps and bounds above XP.

kwyjibo5610d ago

"you dont know what youre talking about"

Obsolete my ass, what does Vista do that XP doesn't for an average home or business user? XP is faster, uses less resources, and has better software/driver support.

The only benefit I would gain, is to make use of some shiny DirectX 10 effects that my card can do.

I have not installed Vista on my laptop either, because it adds nothing that I want, and will shorten my battery life. Note that I have a free legit copy of Vista with MSDN.

Kakkoii5610d ago

He's talking about Vista's layout. Not it's framework and how it operates.

Vista made it's file explorer a serious cluster f*ck. Why fix something that isn't broken? People don't like big changes to the way they operate their OS.

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

MrBaskerville13m ago

But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.

-Foxtrot18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack13h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya2h ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

isarai10h ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

Profchaos53m ago

Prey 2017 still hurts to play because what could have been looked so incredible

Profchaos54m ago

Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got

LostPotato18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack13h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Unknown_Gamer57942h ago

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Inverno51m ago

Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.

MrBaskerville10m ago

Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.

Helldivers 2 Star Wars Mod Looks Pretty Insane

Star Wars is coming to Helldivers 2, unofficially that is, as a new mod revamps in-game models and sends players to a galaxy far, far, away.

Would It Have Even Mattered If Redfall Were Good?

Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.

Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.

There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life

jwillj2k46h ago

No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.

CrimsonWing695h ago

I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’

franwex5h ago

Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.

Exvalos5h ago

No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
