OS as a Service

Think about it how about a PC with internet with Online Subscription just for 30 $ a month ? You get to mail, listen to music, chat, browse on intenet for about 30 $ a month. Yes it is possible, lets look at the math:
How much does a lap top cost 800 $
Over 3 years it comes to about 25 $ a month including cost of Windows OS.

Cant share out more details but giving some clue what I think is up next !

Thanks.

Why Google wants non default setting in IE7

Google is THE BEST search engine available to users, but is it getting better everyday is a question which is not the focus of this blog. But beyond any doubt search is the bread earner
for Google which it can never afford to loose ground.
IE7 which is a majorly used internet shell is not only a important piece of software for Micrsoft
but also the gateway to $'s for Google. IE7 Beta 2 has option of selecting the search in the search box which according to usability pundits "very difficult a option for most of the users of internet". Therefore most of the searches will be diverted to Windows Live Search (MSN) which will hurt Google and give users a taste of new MSN search. If the users find it interestin Microsoft wins the battle.

Microsoft point of view, Firefox does have Google as the default then why not MSN on IE7 ?
Sounds right, but also note that IE7 has almost >90% share.

Fight is on, my guess Google's quality will surely survive, but there have been best people working on MSN to make it work.

The latest build looks very good and has great promise in terms of OS performance and usability . Cool new features with lot of bug fixes brings it close to believe that migration form XP to Vista will be a sweet experience. Application Compatibility has been a clear focus and it is interesting to see with the hard work of the team OS usibility is improving a lot.
I recommend to use the Beta 2 soon to be released. Enjoy Windows Vista, and feel clear, confident and connected.
