Windows 7: MS to take on Google, Apple
NEW YORK: Microsoft is this week preparing to take off the gloves in his fight with arch rivals Apple
and Google.
On Thursday, the software giant will release Windows 7, in probably the most popular version of its operating system since Windows XP launched in 2001. The company is also expected to give more details about the other big bet - its first stores.
But what analysts are more interested in that Microsoft is the way to tackle the rise of "cloud" - large data centers that host large software applications remotely, eliminating the need to purchase upgrades or maintaining an awkward box units hard drive at home or office. In a market where Google and Apple have high ambitions to run these vast, virtual mainframes, this means that Windows 7 could be the last of his kind.
Google, the search giant announced in the summer to launch a PC operating system, Chrome OS.
Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's chief executive, will unveil Windows 7 at a press conference in New York on Thursday. Analysts are also expecting him to elaborate on Microsoft's plans for independent shops promoting their software and devices, including Xbox computer games and mobile phones that run Microsoft software.
Microsoft-Watch Matt Rosoff said the company would be willing to tackle the rise of Google as a provider of software and shows how you will compete with other online software services. Most word processing services for storing and editing images available online, Rosoff said: "Microsoft has a tough job to do and to convince businesses to consumers that an operating system is still important."
Last update to Microsoft Windows was a marketing disaster. Bugs plagued Vista after its release in January 2007. Windows 7 so far has received mostly favorable reviews, analysts expect could give a boost to business investment in IT.
Apple is far behind Microsoft, but has taken the lead in mobile devices with its iPod and iPhone. Microsoft now seeks to beat Apple at their own game and shooting a series of shops. Analysts expect Ballmer to announce the opening of the first Microsoft store dedicated in Scottsdale, Arizona, with more to follow. It has also hit back at Google with the launch of an improved search engine, Bing.
Both Apple and Microsoft release results this week. The figures come after the impressive performance of Google last week.

Windows 7 Windows Resizing Tricks
Windows 7 has some nice windows resizing tricks. It also retains some of the tricks introduced in Vista, that you may not know about, even if you are a regular Vista user.
New to Windows 7 are title bar mouse gestures.
You can maximize a window just by dragging it off the top of the screen, which is great. You can restore the window by dragging the title bar down, which is even better.
If you want to move the window, you can start from a maximized window and just drag it to where you want it. Before you had to restore it first, then move it. With Windows 7, when you drag the window down, it restores, then you just keep dragging it to where you want it.
Drag a window off the edge of the screen, and the window resized to half the screen. Drag another window off the other side of the screen, and you now have two documents arranged neatly side by side.
There is another nice full height trick. Drag the top edge of a window beyond the top of the screen, and it automatically resizes to the full height of the screen, without changing the width. You can also drag the bottom of the window down if you prefer.
Right-clicking the taskbar gives you more windows arrangement features which were also available in Vista. You can arrange up to three windows side by side, or stacked one above the other. More than that and the arrangement is less neat, but you still may find it useful.
You may not have been aware of this feature even in Vista. Previous versions of Windows had something similar, but it worked with all running applications. Since Vista, it works with only open windows, so you can minimize all the windows you don't want to arrange, then work with the rest, making these functions actually useful.
