We had a powerful (okay,
Microsoft Office 2007 Pro, genuinely strong) hunch the iPad was a contributing aspect in Microsoft's waning Windows revenue in Q2, but there is absolutely nothing like just a little confirmation from Redmond. Throughout the earnings get in touch with,
Windows 7 Serial, Microsoft CFO Peter Klein was asked if tablets have been cannibalizing PCs, to which he responded: That seems like an admission that folks aren't buying Windows seven tablets, but both way, it really is now crystal apparent that Microsoft endured for the duration of the back-to-school and holiday year because customers who may have previously picked up a Windows 7 Starter netbook went for the glossy new iPad (or even a Galaxy Tab within the later part of the quarter) or even a much more impressive ULV ultraportable. Certainly, the shift to tablets is to be expected,
Office Pro Plus 2010, but the latter bit about ultraportables is kind of telling also -- it seems to more verify that folks are searching for more energy than Intel's Atom, though we don't genuinely see how increased ultraportable sales could be a "drag within the consumer side" of Microsoft's business considering ultraportables run Windows seven Residence Top quality or Skilled.
Sadly, Klein manufactured no point out of Microsoft's potential tablet options,
Microsoft Office Pro 2010, but stated that netbooks had been past their prime. We're rather positive that "next version of Windows" or whatever tablet OS Microsoft is organizing couldn't arrive soon enough for everyone. Or hey,
Office Pro 2007 Key, could we suggest reviving the Courier?
