For the longest time, a lot of industry pundits refer to Microsoft as a dinosaur — unable to grow and innovate, relying on its foothold and near-monopoly of the PC business to thrive. But lately, with the number of announcements coming out of the Redmond giant’s doors, that impression could be changed.
Three new products made the headlines for Microsoft this year:
Windows 7 Beta. A fresh new OS, garnering rave reviews and great first impressions. Not too shabby for a beta product and the final release is said to be on October 22 this year.
Bing is Microsoft’s decision engine, a reincarnation of Live Search. See more of their commercials here.
Project Natal for XBox 360, the latest announcement coming from E3 that wowed everyone. All that hand gestures reminded me of Minority Report.
For the longest time, there was nothing new and exciting from Microsoft. One flop after another led many to believe Microsoft is just one gargantuan dinosaur unable to deliver anything fresh and exciting.
These 3 new products showed a lot of skeptics that Microsoft still has it. And I agree.
NATAL!!
Your blog is awesome! I found it on Yahoo searching for repairing my xbox and couldn’t resist reading it. You have some good tips here. Thanks for posting!
definitely Natal will lead to other concepts like monitor-less computers. should i say the coming of star wars type of communications? :D
