Microsoft points to slimmer future for Windows client
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 11/02/2008 11:04 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
Microsoft is putting the Windows client OS on a diet as a way to bring the PC OS into the age of cloud computing.Windows 7, Vista's follow-up, already will be a thinner, more streamlined OS, replacing some of the software Microsoft previously included with the OS with Web-based Windows Live Services. And if comments made by Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie at Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference (PDC) this week are any indication, Windows will slim down even further in the future, returning to the original intent of an OS -- a way to optimize the hardware it runs on -- instead of being a bloated piece of software whose performance and value rely on compatibility with installed applications.
