Microsoft paraded 3 Windows Phone 7 Series smartphones during MIX 10, which is obviously attracting the likes of Engadget. It is quite unexpexted since there are already 3 prototypes of Windows Phone 7 Series smartphone right now, as there is still 8-9 months to go before the phone is opened for sale.
Except Samsung (the most left), which is the hacked version of i8910 HD, the Asus and LG smartphone specifications remain unknown. Can someone persuade Microsoft to lend this phone please?
Microsoft’s quest to introduce Windows Phone 7 series to the world continue with the demo at Microsoft Tech Ed Middle East. The 2 demos are how Live Tile works and as cross platform game playing in phone and Xbox live.
I prefer this to be Live Tiles demo instead of multitasking demo as some suggest – The panelist explain the concept of Live Tiles, and demo creating Live Tiles from one of IE’s web pages, and pin into the start menu. The website which now appears as Live Tile will get updated real time, as the web site updated. Live Tiles can be many and each will get updated real time. Erm, sound like multi tasking anyone?
Cross Gaming Platform – This is one of the sought after feature in Windows 7 Phone Series that yet to be demoed so far. So in this video, a game was played in a smartphone (with accelerator and touch demoed as well) and stopped. When the same game played on Xbox, it resumed back from the spot it stopped before in the smartphone. Looks promising right?
With Windows 7 copies selling skyrocketing beyond Vista, it is a matter of time before Microsoft put an end to Windows’ older version. It’s not surprise to see that support to Windows XP SP2 32 bit will end by 13th July 2010, while 64 bit has longer lifeline until 18 April 2014.
Support to Windows Vista without service pack will end in about a month as well, or precisely 14-April-2010. This radical move is timely when Microsoft is still struggling to force Vista users to upgrade to Vista SP1 which is more stable and secure.
The end of support will means no new update such as bug fix or security update will be released for these operating system. This pose security threat to the machines still running this OS version which vulnerable to attack from virus, spyware and etc.
Microsoft is recommending every computer running older version of OS to upgrade to Windows 7, but not every computer are compatible with Windows 7 especially older computer. Upgrading from older OS version also is a pain process, when usually clean install is the best way to get your computer running efficiently.
