Windows 8 News Finds Another Staff Member

4 comments

Windows 8 News finds you a new employee: Ming Yun-Fat Chow, Manager of Windows 8 User Interface Designs at rumored to be Microsoft.

Apparently Ming is working on the User Interface for Windows 8! Nothing newsworthy you say?  I disagree, his job description says: “deciding on successful feature possibilities by analyzing competing operating systems (MAC and Linux)”

I understand you have to look into your competitor’s products to compete, so far Windows 8 developer leaks have yet to give any indication that they are taking ideas directly from the competitors. Read the rest of this entry »

Microsoft going nuts with Operating Systems!

3 comments

XRSFuzzy, a new member of the forums, posted a great thread over at the eightforums:
 
Why is Microsoft developing a tons of different Operating Systems lately?
I understand that Microsoft is a business and they want to dominate all markets with user interfacing on computers, and that they have to make products faster and cheaper in order to rake in more and more cash; however, why Windows 7 in 2009, then Windows 8 in 2011/2012? XP was 5 years, they kept with 90%+ market share, is it because of the threat of apple we are seeing a step up with Microsoft research and development? Where do these new other Operating Systems fit in with this whole picture? well… probably those nitch markets like netbooks, tablets, TV operating systems, mobile operating systems, aviation, car, and maybe your toaster!

Microsoft Stock (MSFT)

5 comments

Microsoft Stock (MSFT) has been one of the best known ‘get rich’ stocks of the 80’s and 90’s. Is it time for another run up? I think so, here is why:  in the past six months it has been getting ready to go to $40/share. Sure, it had its low points back in March, the whole market brought down the stocks including Microsoft’s stock to $15-$16 levels. Ouch! Institutional investors piling back into the market at records rates, especially all those hot tech stocks! Read the rest of this entry »

The Barrelfish team are currently working on two trends: the rapidly growing number of cores and diversity in computer hardware. With our previous post, this could be an area of study for the 128 bit operating systems as future of innovation.

Windows 8 x128 !!!?? – The next PC revolution has is begun!

42 comments

In my endless search for tiny details hidden behind the scenes at Microsoft via linkedin, I came across a Microsoft Senior Research & Development employee: Mr. Morgan. I guess Microsoft employees need some training about exposing company secrets! He posted a few updates in the last 3 days to his linkedin profile that I find extremely interesting:

“Robert Morgan is working to get IA-128 working backwards with full binary compatibility on the existing IA-64 instructions in the hardware simulation to work for Windows 8 and definitely Windows 9.”

“Robert Morgan is using Hestia (custom software package) for experimenting with the processor for scientific analysis and 3D graphics. Error: Memory Latency? Always gotta be a challenge barrier, it’s gotta be a bug in Hestia. right?!”

“Robert Morgan is frustrated with process standards and regulations! Delays Delays!”

I added Mr. Morgan to my LinkedIn friends list, but he has not responded to any messages I sent to him. WOW what a find: WINDOWS 8 128 BIT! That’s Insane!!!! Didn’t we just get x64 less than 5 years ago? But, let’s face it we are in a recession; the next big products won’t be released until companies are ready to take a risk, but based on this they are far ahead of where we are today in the lab. Stay Tuned, I’ll try to find more, but I don’t think I can top this, Windows 8 x128 is a big deal
