Microsoft is making another attempt to capture more of the smart phone market with a new software release.  While they won’t be selling the actual hardware, they will be offering software for phones that resemble Windows 7.  Read the whole article here.

Well, if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Nintendo’s Wii should feel real good right about now.  The Microsoft is planning to release something called “Project Natal” which looks eerily similar to the Wii’s motion sensor bar.  How effective it is won’t be known until its release later this year.  Don’t believe me? Take a look.

So now that Windows 7 has infiltrated the world I’m surprisingly hearing little about it either good or bad.  I suppose that’s a good thing because if it was horrible (like Vista) it would be plastered over every blog on the planet. I’m still not sold on it and I’ll hold off for a while but it seems like this might not be the big bust for Microsoft that I thought it would be. Although, when the Google OS comes out, it could be a different ballgame for everyone.

It’s time, the long awaited Microsoft 7 is launching and millions of frustrated users around the world will be throwing their hands up wondering when Microsoft will actually put out a product worth buying. With Mac taking a larger market share and Google on the verge of releasing their own OS I wonder if this is the nail in MS’s coffin?

A Microsoft and Yahoo partnership is like…well, I have no idea what it’s like because I haven’t seen the blind leading the blind lately! Who still uses Yahoo search any more? Seriously the world passed them by years ago…what year was it that Google walked in stage right? Let’s not forget Microsoft…actually, that’s not a bad idea! With Google’s impending operating system, my guess this deal is a thing of the not so distant past!

Microsoft is actually doing something good for a change! They’ve decided to help people get a handle on going green (or greener at least) with their homes. I know I’ve been working on this over the last few years and the choices are mind boggling to say the least. As soon as you think you’re doing the right thing something pops up and makes you change your mind. All in all I’ve done very little because it’s all been so confusing. So, let’s hope Microsoft can shed a little light on going green.

By now most people who spend time on the Internet has heard about Microsoft’s new search engine www.bing.com. What’s interesting about the fact that many highly notable bloggers have identified a risk to minors that prevents parents from knowing what their children are doing online Microsoft has not done anything to prevent it from happening. There is no real reason that the video should play from the search page and a simple line of code change would correct the issue and allow parents to protect their children from porn. Microsoft needs to get on board with this very quickly or they risk losing customers!

If you are like me you’ve abandoned IE already, if you: you will be over the next few years. As I type this post I do it in Firefox just like I have for the last few years. It’s not a shocker to learn that IE has been losing customers at the rate of about 10% each year but what is interesting is that Microsoft doesn’t seem to be doing anything about it. There used to be a time when people like myself were the minority. A Mac user that doesn’t use IE. Well, we are no longer the major minority and in a few short years, we’ll be the majority!

FINALLY! Microsoft gets it! I was one of the poor souls who happened to buy a computer with Millennium installed on it. For a lack of better words, it sucked! I was one of those people who happened to buy a laptop with Vista on it after finally getting used to a stable XP for a few years. For lack of better words it sucked! What did Microsoft do about it? NOTHING! Would they patch their OS so people could go back to Vista? NOPE!

Well, now I’m a guy who just happens to own three Macs! Anyways, it’s cool to see that Microsoft 7 will allow people to downgrade their system WHEN they realize it sucks!

Microsoft recently release data which shows that its Zune mp3 player sales revenue have dropped 50%.  Is this a sign of the economic times or the players inability to compete against the iPod… we think both although more so with the economic times and sprinkle in a little lack of marketing.
