Microsoft wants Windows 8 to be more like OSX

Leaked slides used by Microsoft in its latest round of meetings with system builders reveal that Windows 8 will focus on start-up times, slate computing, connectivity and facial recognition.

The slides, which a number of analysts say are genuine, first appeared on Windows 7 fan site Windowsette and make it clear that the software giant strives to match Apple when it comes to simplicity.

A slide titled “How Apple Does It: A Virtuous Cycle” talks about Apple’s reputation for quality. “Apple is known for high quality, uncomplicated, ‘It just works’,” reads the slide. “This is something people will pay for!”

The company is also keener than ever to keep Windows as lean as possible, with talk of further improving boot times over Windows 7. It’s clear that the drubbing the company got for Windows Vista is still fresh in its thoughts.

The focus on tablet computing is also a clear indicator that Microsoft feels threatened by the success of Apple’s iPad, which sold more than three million units in its first two months on sale. The company also sees Apple’s App Store as a target, as the slides mull over a “Windows Store” that would allow users to purchase applications for Windows (and perhaps other Microsoft devices).

In addition, Microsoft may be considering the unification of its operating system development efforts as the slides referring to the Windows Store also suggest that users will be able to get the applications they want and be able to use them “on any Windows 8 device”. It’s not clear exactly what this means – it could be as simple as having access to the same applications across their laptop, desktop PC and slate or netbook, but it could also expand to mobile phones too if Microsoft wanted to really push the boat out.

Windows 8 is at least a couple of years away based on the timeframes in the leaked slide decks, but they give an interesting insight into where Microsoft thinks the computing market is going. There’s still a long way to go and there are a lot of questions that remained unanswered, but it’ll be interesting to see if the company does remodel itself on Apple – if, indeed, the slides are genuine.Leaked slides used by Microsoft in its latest round of meetings with system builders... more

Snow Leopard Endangers Vista

Apple's new OS X could force Microsoft to dump its beleaguered operating system.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and Steve Jobs feels fine. With the U.S. Federal Reserve now predicting a recession that will last well into next year--and others predicting much worse--sales of ammunition, spam and gold coins are surging.

Oh yeah, so are sales of the Apple chief's Macintosh computers.

Apple owned 9.5% of the U.S. PC market during the third quarter, according to tech tracker Gartner. Look at where beleaguered consumers are putting their dollars, however, and Apple's performance is even more impressive: The company grabbed 20.1% of the U.S. retail market in October, according to NPD Group. And Apple is on track to sell between 2.4 million and 2.7 million Macs for the quarter ending in December, up 13% from the year-ago period, according to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster.

Microsoft's Vista, meanwhile, is tottering. Operating income for Microsoft's mighty client division actually declined to $3.3 billion for the quarter ending in September from $3.4 billion during the year-ago period. Part of the problem is that businesses tend to switch to a new operating system all at once, and many are choosing to wait. General Motors chief techie Fred Killeen has even said the auto giant may choose to skip Windows Vista and wait for Windows 7, due in 2010 or 2011.

Apple, meanwhile, is preparing to release an operating system focused on Vista user's biggest gripes: speed and stability. A slide show presented by an Apple executive at the Large Installation System Administration Conference last week seems to show that Apple's next operating system will appear in the first quarter. With Apple now selling one of every five computers at retail--and an even bigger chunk of the notebook market--could the move push Microsoft into making Windows XP more widely available?
