Microsoft isn't going to create Windows seven obtainable for ARM-based netbooks and PCs, business officials stated at this week;s Computex trade display.The choice isn;t also shocking,Windows 7 Activation, given Microsoft;s long-standing partnerships with Intel and AMD. Previously this yr, nevertheless, officials together with the 1 Laptop computer Per Youngster Challenge (OLPC) hinted the group was moving to ARM and that Microsoft was contemplating significantly a port of Windows towards the ARM processor.On June 3, a business spokesperson confirmed there is going to be no Windows 7 for ARM — at least for now. Microsoft;s official statement:“At this time, Windows seven does not support any ARM architecture. Currently, Windows works on both x86 and x64 platforms, which, thanks to the pervasive PC hardware standard, power the vast majority of the world;s laptops and desktops. In the specialized devices space, where ARM is properly suited,Office 2007 Enterprise, we offer the Windows Embedded CE platform.”Note that Microsoft officials did not say the business would never release a version of Windows that would run on ARM. This week;s statement only says Windows 7 isn;t currently offered for it. So maybe Microsoft wasn;t able to finish its rumored port of Windows seven to ARM in time for delivery this 12 months but it;s nevertheless on the drawing board … or maybe we;ll see Windows 8 running on ARM.Microsoft;s decision does mean the organization is leaving the ARM netbook door wide open for Linux, Android and other non-Windows operating systems. At Computex,Windows 7 Ultimate Key, PC makers showed off five or six new ARM netbooks that are expected to run the Google Android operating system.Microsoft officials are downplaying the potential impact of Android, Moblin and other Linux variants on netbooks,Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key, claiming that the dearth of compatible software will likely be a limiting factor for these platforms. It;s not astonishing, given Microsoft;s love/hate relationship with “small laptops,” as provider officials prefer to call netbooks, that Microsoft officials don;t address the potential appeal of netbooks to users who prefer Web-based services/applications….Microsoft also officials confirmed at Computex that the company and its PC partners are gonna launch, as expected, an upgrade program, via which customers buying new Vista PCs will get a free upgrade to Windows seven once it is accessible. Microsoft still won;t say when the program will kick off, but is positioning the program as its stop-gap measure for addressing this year;s back-to-school PC market place. Nonetheless,Office Enterprise 2007, the enthusiast site TechARP says the date the upgrade program will launch is now June 26, meaning users who buy new Vista PCs between June 26 and late October will qualify for a free copy of Windows seven after it becomes generally on the market on October 22.What;s your guess about what;s heading on with Microsoft and ARM? Do you nevertheless think there will likely be a port of Windows 7 to ARM (but maybe not until 2010)? Or do you think the Softies are going to stick with Intel and AMD, even if the ARM netbook market gets hot?
