Little Android Vs Windows 7

DK — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:32:00 +0000

To know basics about Google’s Android click here to view our early post.

We thought Google’s Android is for mobile but, people at VentureBeat experimented Android in Asus EEEPC 1000H laptop.And got success within 4 hours

Nearly all the hardwares in Asus EEEPC 1000H laptop were running perfectly with Android

As we already mentioned in our pervious post that Microsoft is building windows 7 to work more perfectly in netbook (to view the post click here).

Now after this big step the little Android can give some tough competition for windows 7 in Microsoft’s netbook market.

Most of the technologists were expecting that we can see a netbook can run with Android OS within 2010.

I think Microsoft want to face lot of challenges in both netbook and mobile market due to Android.

Really it is great work by Google because a single product (Android) of Google is giving trouble for two products (windows 7 and windows mobile) of Microsoft.

Expecting to see more fight with Microsoft in feature !!!

Microsoft plans to kill LINUX

DK — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 13:38:00 +0000

Already Microsoft got big worry about Linux competition in the server market. Now it continues in PCs and laptop markets too.

Yes Microsoft designs the windows7 to kill Linux market

The main threat to windows comes from “netbooks” inexpensive laptops that typically use Intel’s low-powered Atom processor.

They are mainly used for browsing and little word-processing.
The funny thing with this netbook is they can’t handle Vista so they can run only with XP. But linux really gives nice support to netbooks (thats the beauty of linux).

As a result Acer and Asustek who holds 90% of netbook market where using linux on 30% of their product. Another thing is if a netbook uses linux they will not use Microsoft office so here is double hit for Microsoft.

If a user uses linux in his netbook and after getting familiar automatically he will start using linux in desktop. Here the Microsoft get real threat

So now Microsoft building windows 7 to work well in netbooks. In a recent Professional Developers Conference Windows Senior Vice President showed Windows 7 on his Lenovo laptop and said that it used less than half of the netbook’s RAM (1GB)

By this Microsoft plans to capture the linux’s netbook market.

What do you think whether windows 7 will drop the linux’s netbook market?
