Microsoft will soon release 'Windows Cloud' OS

Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer revealed a few details on Wednesday of a forthcoming operating system that will help developers write Internet-based applications.

Within a month, Microsoft will unveil what Ballmer called "Windows Cloud." The operating system, which will likely have a different name, is intended for developers writing cloud-computing applications, said Ballmer, who spoke to an auditorium of IT managers at a Microsoft-sponsored conference in London.

Ballmer was short on details, saying more information would spoil the announcement. Windows Cloud is a separate project from Windows 7, the operating system that Microsoft is developing to succeed Windows Vista.

Have you ever try to install an application in XP compatible mode?

Except old 16 Bit software, all my other old software running in Vista without any problem!

Cheers.

I downgraded to Vista from XP quite early (by my standards). After disabling all the silly whistles and bells and most of the "are you sure you want to do this" systems and installing all the latest fixes, it's pretty much working as XP did.

The lesson is don't buy into any new OS (Windows, Linux or even POSM) until at least 18 months have passed and the wrinkles have been ironed out by people who have nothing better to do.
