Windows Operating System Support

In spite of a major push for selling the much-maligned Windows Vista, users are not showing their interest for buying it. Almost couple of years after launch of Windows Vista, Windows XP remained as the standard desktop Operating System in business. Owing to increased customer demand, Microsoft has extended its availability thrice. After a lackluster sale in year 2008, Microsoft itself has estimated just 2% growth in Vista sales. Moreover, this growth is due to forcing customers to buy Vista to get XP "downgrades."

Due to this scenario, all the eyes were on Professional Developer Conference of Microsoft in Los Angeles the week before as Microsoft lastly took the wrap off Windows 7, which will be the successor to Vista due in early 2010. However, the reaction of the people is that Windows 7 is nothing but a cleaned-up Vista. It is basically having the same OS and same kernel, with some novel technologies thrown in. It involves the Surface-based multi-touch abilities. Furthermore, it consists of the great capability to ribbon-bar-enable their individual apps for finer performance and better consistency with UI approach of Microsoft. It is nothing radical but a polished version of Vista.

Cloud-based delivery of services enhances the browser and not the Operating System. RIA (Rich Internet application) technology renders those services. The evolution of application streaming and desktop virtualization facilitates for even finer and efficient apps to be delivered devoid of the weight of a fat Operating System from the client end.

All put together, anyone can visualize the whole scenario of the future PC. The client side Operating System like Windows, Linux and Mac OS X has become irrelevant over time. Beyond this, the browser has been evolved into a thin client that facilitates the PCs run services, which run in the cloud or stream from the datacenter. The novel breed of apps can be services that run by means of several technological advancements such as Microsoft’s Silverlight or Adobe's AIR and Flash. Both sets of technologies can run efficiently on any browser. Furthermore, they perform well with the main three Operating Systems of today including Linux, Windows and Mac OS., and Linux.

Legacy client apps can run in virtual machines, which appears to be part of the Operating system for user. In today’s world, Microsoft and Adobe may be the new Operating System providers.
