Microsoft Office 2007 Microsoft kicks off its Wind

October six may be the retail launch of Windows Mobile six.5-based phones from a variety of handset makers and carriers. But it;s really something bigger: It;s the kick-off of Microsoft;s strategy to persuade end users that Windows is (or, a minimum of, ought to be) just about everywhere they're.I;m not going to repeat what a lot of other weblogs and web-sites currently have, with regards to a feature-by-feature critique of Windows Cellular 6.5. (Gizmodo;s critique has screen shots and particulars and ends by noting the Zune Hd staff has completely one-upped the Windows Mobile staff — kind of ironic, given the Zune software staff is now part of MediaRoom/Media Center and the Zune Hardware folks are part of Windows Cellular.)Today could be the day when Microsoft and its phone partners start using officially the “Windows Phone” branding for Windows Mobile phones. Windows Mobile is still the name that will likely be used for the operating system powering phones; Windows Phones may be the uber-brand for all phones running Windows Mobile,Office Home And Business 2010 Product Key, regardless of the carrier.That change may very well seem like semantics, but it;s not. It;s key to the three-screens-and-a-cloud mantra that Microsoft officials are repeating these days. The idea is you have Windows on your PC, Windows on your phone,office Enterprise 2007 product key, Windows on your TV and Windows in the cloud and because it;s one big Windows world,Microsoft Office 2007, everything works seamlessly.The reality is not quite like the ads. The operating systems powering these several Windows platforms aren;t all the same. Windows Cellular — for now, at least — is still primarily based on the Windows Embedded CE core. CEO Steve Ballmer lamented to TechCrunch recently:“We have 1 and a half operating systems, Windows and Windows Cellular. Windows Mobile is kind of a half because it’s not totally the same as Windows. And everyday, I say I’d love to get those two things to share more.”But until Microsoft can figure out how to do that,Office Professional 2010 X86, the company will have to rely on user-interface similarities and common services to further the company;s “One Windows; message.Example: Notice the way that Windows Media Center, the Zune High definition and Windows Mobile six.5 all use the same kind of vertical text menus as their primary interface. (Still, because OEMs can and do layer their own interfaces over Windows and Windows Mobile, this UI consistency, in cases where it does exist, often gets buried.)There would be more examples heading forward, as Microsoft makes its Zune Video Marketplace, Zune music-subscription service and other premium services common across multiple Windows platforms. But until then,Buy Office Home And Student 2010, Microsoft;s “Life Without Walls” message still has some pretty solid walls in its path.Do you think Microsoft will ever get to the point where Windows could be the 1 and only OS that the company is supporting across platforms? Does it truly matter whether the Softies can do so?
