Microsoft is at their Professional Developers Conference and is causing quite a stir. People are excited to see that after the issues people found with Vista, the overwhelming feeling is that Windows 7 will be to Vista what Windows XP was to Windows Me. If that’s any indication then you can expect Windows 7 to usher in a new era for computing.

The focus should be on mobile and touch. Portable computers are outselling desktops finally which means that more and more people will be using their computers on the go. Windows 7 will be the force behind this change in behavior. This brings us to netbooks. Windows 7 will be able to run an Via 1 Ghz processor with 1GB of ram, a feat that was hardly possible when Windows XP came out.

The reality is that the resource drains from previous operating systems will cease to exist. There will be return to when computers that weren’t very fast were able to access a network and do all the work they needed to do. The mainframe has been replacd by the cloud which pulls everything off of a mainframe.

Operating systems have come full circle.
