The end for now

Well as you can see I have not been here in a while  as i have moved on to other thing but i may be back one day so for now this is the end  .

Is Windows 7 the new XP ?

Windows 8 It's Windows reimagined and reinvented from a solid core of Windows 7 speed and reliability. It's an all-new touch interface. It's a new Windows for new devices. And it's easy whether you're installing it for the first time, or moving from Windows 7.  At least that's Microsoft's company line but is it relay?  

Almost 60% of Windows users are Enterprise users that means that more then half of all people that use windows use the OS at work. Now that's not to say those same people don't have a Windows PC at home meany do but MS makes more the half of its money from Enterprise.

Most IT managers don't like changes in the OS it confuses workers. That means time lost and money spent on training. The expense could be huge to large company's. 

Meany Windows users don't understand Windows 8 , lets face it Windows 8 is not completely easy to use.From the desktop try and lunch Windows Media Player . In fact if you don't have a touch screen their is little to no reason to get Windows 8 . All of this spells doom for Windows 8 . Meany people will just stay on windows 7.

So if Windows 7 is the next XP then Windows 8 is the next Vista. So here's to Windows 9 .      

Microsoft wants to patent 'gesture keyboarding' with Kinect technology

[QUOTE]
A Microsoft patent application for "gesture keyboarding" that became public today details how Microsoft could be thinking of using its Kinect device not only for the Xbox, but also possibly for a Minority Report type of computing interface (which others have predicted previously). Maybe they'll call it "no-touch" computing?

While GoRumors focused on the patent as a way to show how the Kinect works (which it does) after reading it, it would seem that Microsoft is certainly looking to go beyond the Xbox with the Kinect. Take a look at some of the "claims" that Microsoft is making with this patent:
* A method for providing keyboard-like input to a computer system that accepts gesture input,
* Each gestured character comprises an alphanumeric character.
* The input gesture comprises a gesture in a sign language.
* The sign language comprises American Sign Language (ASL).
* The user creates the input gesture using a physical prop.
* The physical prop comprises a keyboard that is not physically connected to the computer system
* The user creates the input gesture by mimicking use of a phantom prop.
* The phantom prop is a phantom ball or a phantom keyboard.[/QUOTE]

Less Than 1pct Of The Xbox 360's CPU Will Be Used For Kinect

From incgamers.com:

[QUOTE]
Microsoft has confirmed upcoming motion controller Kinect uses "less than one per cent" of the Xbox 360's CPU.

Rumours circulated that Kinect could use as much as one full CPU to run however Ubisoft's "Kinect expert" put the rumblings to rest.

Ubi's Frederic Blais discredited the rumour while speaking to Xbox World 360 Magazine via CVG stating, "That's not true at all. I don't really know how much I can talk about it but it's less than 1% [of the CPU's power], or something like that."[/QUOTE]
