Microsoft requires running Windows 7 phone make a big splash when he wants to make any progress in the fight against Android and iPhone. So the news that Windows 7 phone will be available to subscribers Verizon or Sprint until sometime in the first half of 2011 are bad for Microsoft. At this rate it will never catch up.
Microsoft Senior Product Manager Greg Sullivan told CNet Windows 7 will not be available for phone networks CDMA until some time in the first half of 2011. Between launch and then it will only work in GSM networks.
This means that Verizon, Sprint and not why he didn't run. CDMA? Sullivan told CNet:
"We had to make some compromises. Even Microsoft has unlimited resources: We had to prioritize less to do very, very good. "
Microsoft would do well to do works on all telephony network to the highest priority to addressing prokos vast clientele while surging your competition and your market share is not quite what they teach you in business 101.
Making matters worse is that AT&T has such a bad reputation when it comes to lighting.In addition, Windows 7 phone going head to head against the iPhone on AT&T. Plenty of people sign up with AT&T for one reason only--they want an iPhone.Don't expect many people to abandon their iPhones for Windows 7.
Microsoft doesn't have much of a chance to catch up on the left with Android phones and iPhone this holiday season can be a decisive moment for Windows 7 phone---and Microsoft, ignoring the huge number of potential customers is not going to help.

Report Gartner discovered that Microsoft Windows Mobile-based smartphone market share fell to 5 per cent of 9.3% one year ago at the same time, in contrast, the Android market grew from 1.8% one year ago 17.2% today.
Microsoft hopes to compete, but with Android market upsurge and iPhones without stopping, it will be hard to do. Microsoft needs to find a way to offer something that makes no Smartphone competitors.
Maybe he hopes game will do that. Published works show that Microsoft Open Studios, is a mobile game MGS and most aggressive hiring to fill their positions.Here is part description for executive producer:

Opening of the Studio is a smart move.Todd Bishop's Microsoft blog points out in hisMicrosoft has sold 42 million Xbox 360s, and 25 million people currently onling gaming service Xbox Live.If you can use the existing database, it can give Windows Mobile 7 kick start.
More important, than to give it a kick start will give his niche. Microsoft will need some way to differentiate yourself from the based on Android phones and iPhone Gaming niche ... can be a great way to do this.
Microsoft is not always good for the consumer market, but gaming is an exception to this; we'll have to wait and see if it can drive it Xbox gamers from Windows 7.

There are a handful of free machine virtualization programs out there, such as VirtualBox, VMWare, and of course Microsoft’s Virtual PC. These programs will let you run another instance of an operating system within your current operating system. The only problem is that, unless you’re virtualizing Linux or another free OS, you will need a working license to run a virtual instance of a Windows OS (as well as an installation CD or ISO file of course).
What you may not have known, however, is that if you’re a Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate user (32 or 64 bit), Microsoft actually provides you with a full fledged, fully licensed instance of Windows XP that you can run within your Windows 7 environment, which they refer to as Windows XP mode. In fact, Windows XP mode will let you run virtualized Windows XP applications straight from your Windows 7 desktop or start menu, via a virtual remote desktop connection, just as if they were installed locally on Windows 7.
This tutorial will present, for those editions of Windows 7 that support it, a step by step guide for getting you up and running your virtual Windows XP instance from within Windows 7.
Step 1: Determine if the version of Windows 7 you are running is supported.
To do this, right click “properties” on the “Computer” icon on your desktop or the right hand side of your start menu, then check the “Windows edition” section (see the upper red arrow in the screenshot below). If you do not have the Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate editions then this tutorial will not apply, and in that case you will need to get your hands on a Windows XP CD and a valid serial number.
Also check the “system” section to see whether you’re running a 32 bit or 64 bit version of Windows 7 (the lower red arrow); you will need to know this for the next step.
Step 2: visit the XP Mode download page. Once there enter your Windows 7 information and then use the three buttons on the bottom to download the needed files.
Note: before you download, Windows may install a “Windows Genuine Advantage” update to check whether your Windows license is authentic. So bear that in mind.
Follow the instructions, i.e. download and install “Windows XP Mode” first (a 500 meg download; you will have to reboot), then “Windows Virtual PC”, then “Windows XP Mode Update”. Note that once you install XP mode you can delete that 500 meg installation file.
Step 3: launch Windows Virtual PC “XP Mode”. It may will launch automatically once installed or, if not, go to the start menu and type “XP Mode” in the searchbox then click on the shortcut that appears on top.
Error?: if you get the error in the image below you may need to tweak your BIOS settings to enable hardware assisted virtualization. Restart your PC and get into your BIOS setup (getting there is different for different PC makes; for my Dell I got there by pressing F2 while booting). Find your “virtualization” setting and enable hardware-assisted virtualization; save and exit.
Step 4: Setting up Windows XP mode: this is fairly self explanatory, just go through the process.
Hard disk space: approx 2 or more gigs of free space are required to run XP in virtual mode properly. If you don’t have this on your C: drive, or if you simply do not want the large file on your C: partition, make sure to change the location in the setup process when it asks for the installation folder (see screenshot below).
By default, Windows Virtual PC will set up drive sharing with your main Windows 7 OS, allowing you to access your Windows 7 drives as networked drives from within the virtual Windows XP.
At the end of the process, your virtualized instance of Windows XP will be launched (see screenshot at the top of this post). You can now use your virtual instance of XP normally, installing apps, etc.
Reverting to a fresh instance of Windows XP: if you want to create another instance of Windows XP or revert to a clean instance, simply delete or rename the files in your installation folder and then re-run XP mode. You will be asked if you want to create another instance from scratch.
Step 5: accessing your Windows 7 hard drives from XP: in “my computer”, your Windows 7 partitions, CD drives, and other volumes will appear as networked drives(see screenshot below).
Note that USB/flash drives can be accessed from the XP instance via the “Action” menu (see screenshot below). Note, however, that Microsoft Virtual PC will invisibly unplug the drive from Windows 7 in order to make it available to the XP instance.
Step 6: running “XP mode” applications from within Windows 7. Once you install programs within your virtualized Windows XP, shortcuts for these programs or even any documents inside the XP instance actually appear inside your Windows 7 start menu. You can simply run these from the Windows 7 environment.
These shortcuts will have “XP Mode” appended to them in the Windows 7 start menu. Typing “XP Mode” in the Windows 7 start menu search box will display these (see the screenshots below).
Presumably, this would be needed if your program runs on Windows XP but not on Windows 7, or for the purposes of testing software.
HashTab: Add tab hash value for the properties file in Windows Explorer
This is for ubergeeks, among which I (we hope) to count myself. HashTab is a free Windows Explorer extension that adds a new tab "File hashes" in the dialog box by right-clicking Properties, which simply displays a computed hash value in order to verify the integrity and authenticity of files.
Another feature that your brand new tab Hash offers: compare hash values from another file that you are looking for the HashTab supports multiple hash algorithms like CRC32, MD5, SHA1, SHA2, RipeMD, HAVAL, and Whirlpool. AvailableIf version Windows and Mac OSX you don't know what they are, the hash calculation are methods of reducing the file into one unique number or identifier. You can calculate the hash number for pretty much any file using any number of possible algorithms; however, you should edit this file at all its hash number will also be affected.Thus the hash values are used to determine the authenticity of files, whether they were changed or compromised by malware, or comparing files that may be the same but have different names in General a lot of sites, download MD5 hash list along with a download link, so you need to check that the downloaded file is the file you want.
Use: right-click any file, select Properties, then click on the tab ' hash ' File you will see a list of hash values.
If you do not specify an algorithm that you want, click on "Settings" link and then check the corresponding algorithm to include it in the list of results (see the screenshot on the right).
Verdict: that HashTab makes it easy to check values calculated using several algorithms all at once from within Windows.Simple, yet very well if it's something you need to do I post it here because I just love its elegance.
Testing version: 3.0
Compatibility: Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7. Mac OSX.
