Techies, geeks, pundits, BlackBerry addicts, and even a few ordinary people looked forward to Microsoft’s launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 with high hopes. They had sized-up the competition and eagerly anticipated Microsoft’s latest entry into the handheld derby. Early in 2009, Palm had resurrected its business and wowed Berry lovers with a brand new operating system well-equipped with all the features they needed, wanted, and craved.

Far more importantly, the entire handheld industry lived in the shadow of Apple’s app-packed iPhone; and, in Q4 2008, iPhone sales eclipsed Blackberry’s for the first time. Especially 18-to-24 year-old celly-addicts had glommed onto iPhone and clearly had no intention of relaxing their white-knuckle grip unless Windows Mobile 6.5 dazzled them into delirium.

Meanwhile, Microsoft had planned to launch Windows Mobile 7 by the end of 2009, promising a worthy entry into the fiercely competitive handheld market. Windows Mobile 7, however, kept bogging down in beta testing, suffering repeated delays. Eager to bring something to an upgrade-hungry market, Microsoft released Windows Mobile 6.5 as a “placeholder.” The first users of Windows Mobile 6.5 put out the word: “placeholder” was Microsoft’s euphemism for “poor substitute for the real deal.”

Market analysts expressed both surprise and scorn. They expected Microsoft engineers and marketers would have learned their lesson from premature introduction of Windows Vista—a “placeholder” between Windows XP and Windows 7. They concluded that the majority of so-called “improvements” from Windows Mobile 6.1 were cosmetic. Overall performance had changed very little.

Responding to Complaints about Windows Mobile 6.1

Especially among younger handheld users whose thumbs can blur as they fire off text messages, “finger-friendliness” makes or breaks a system. Windows Mobile 6.1 fell far short of finger-friendly. In fact, most interactions between users and phones operating on Windows Mobile 6.1 required a stylus—neither efficient nor cool. Of course, everybody expected Microsoft would take care of that problem in 6.5. Imagine their shock and awe, then, when 6.5 became more finger-friendly only on the home screen, remaining clumsy as ever on the interfaces users work most.

Other unhappy 6.1 users complained it ran slowly, crashed often, and lacked features they wanted and needed. They expressed greatest surprise that 6.1 was not as web-friendly as its rivals. When they tried 6.5, they relented in their complaints but remained less than satisfied. Reviewers said, almost unanimously, that Windows Mobile 6.5 had made giant strides toward the speed, reliability, stability, and capability they wanted, agreeing Microsoft was on the right track. They went on to say, though, Windows Mobile 6.5 came nowhere close to rivaling Google Android, iPhone, and webOS.

Challenged to sum-up their impressions of Windows Mobile 6.5, even the most generous reviewers concluded the new operating system is little more than 6.1 with a prettier face. Considering Windows Mobile 6.5 from a purchaser’s perspective, no reviewer could justify buying a new handheld factory equipped with Windows Mobile 6.5. Buyers have far too many genuinely attractive choices in the same price range, they agreed.

Scathing Criticism from the Toughest Judges

The most reliable and most demanding reviewers did not mince words. One of the computer world’s giants complained that Windows Mobile 6.5 showed all the telltale signs of a rush job, and it seemed unfinished, a jumble of good intentions tied-up in a pretty package. He further tore into Microsoft engineers for failing seriously to upgrade the company’s handheld operating systems for nearly a decade. He did not reserve his criticism for the OS alone; he also liberally heaped aspersions on Windows’ lame attempt at an app store, damning the service with the truth. Any of the so-called “new” apps runs equally well on 6.0 and 6.1. No reviewer could understand why the app store offered some apps for sale at $20.

Another reviewer compared Windows Mobile 6.5 with Zune HD, concluding Zune runs circles around 6.5 and “it isn’t even a phone.”

A Little Redemption…only a little

The majority of reviewers grudgingly conceded Windows Mobile 6.5 has Microsoft Office capability no other phone can match. None bothered to wonder why an Office-savvy user would use any part of the office suite on the handheld when a laptop would perform far better. Some were wise enough to point out, however, netbooks running on Google Android will hit the market very soon, making a less than finger-friendly handheld look a lot like Fred Flintstone’s car trying to get up to speed on the Santa Monica Freeway.

One other very kind-hearted reviewer stressed the value of Windows Mobile 6.5’s “My Phone” feature, which gives users the ability to back-up all of their data on a password-protected website. Using My Phone, a user can store calendar, contacts, photos, documents, music, and messages. Then, if data gets lost or the user gets a new phone, all the valuable old stuff reloads with just a few clicks. In a supposedly brand new system, one feature of Windows Mobile 6.5 scored well.

And now, once again, the geeks and pundits look forward to Microsoft’s launch of Windows Mobile 7 early in 2010.

Regular viewers can take this rather hard and these blocks are demanded updates from them. The blocks from Netflix have not been good news for most viewers.

There are Xbox Live Dashboard updates that were chosen for selected movies only. They excluded the fun from the group sharing of Movie Parties mode.

The guilty videos from Starz Play have however been removed and the Xbox 360 toting friends and family have had thousands of ways to come with revamping the catalog.

So no one gets to watch “Pineapple Express” with the movie cataloging not scheduling itself. The 360-toting friends and family will be surely missing these features with the new problems cropping up!

In this one day event, a new organization named Cloud Computing Futures was at the top of bill with its object to decrease the costs of data centre manifold and enhancing reliability too.

These recruited women will be provided with an Xbox party pack of freebies in which Xbox game “Scene It, Box Office Smash,” microwavable popcorn, an Xbox universal media remote control are included.

It is, indeed, a nice marketing strategy, but it looks somewhat off if compared to other marketing efforts of the software giant.

In recent past, women have proved considerable consumers of various casual games and have shown great interest in the gaming consoles like Nintendo’s Wii. But contrarily, they didn’t show the same enthusiasm for Xbox, as there weren’t some appealing games for women in it.

Heather Snavely, who is Microsoft’s director of interactive entertainment business, says: “Microsoft has sold more than 20m gaming consoles worldwide in short span of time, we definitely need some audience like teens and women to sell next 20m.

We have a different strategy to target these audiences, the strategy that we didn’t adopt ever before.”

It’s indeed, good news for women who want to have a new experience of playing games, but let’s see how far Microsoft succeeds to appeal these women with their gaming consoles.

Previously Internet Explorer’s popularity and usage was minimized because of other explorers that were launched. These competitors include Mozilla Firefox, Apple’ Safari and Opera, and Google Chrome.

Though Microsoft’s browser is still the most used, it has seen a decrease of 20 percent profit earnings. This upgrade was inevitable as the other explorers can take away more from Microsoft.

Therefore an enhanced version had to be launched with advanced features that can help speed up browsing and net surfing. Dean Hachamovitch, General Manager Microsoft Internet Explorer, “IE8 [is] focused on how people really use the web,”

Though web today provides enhanced speedy functions comparing to past, yet more speed is always on demand. Hachamovitch says, “Consumers want a browser that makes the tasks they do every day faster and easier.

The activities people spend their time on define real-world performance: navigating to websites, working with tabs, searching, keeping track of changing information (like traffic or an auction), and using the information from one site with another (as in getting a map).

For so many years, IE has proved to be a reliable source of net surfing with the most minimized troubles faced by users. “Everyone wants a trustworthy browser that keeps them in control and protects their safety.

Developers want great developer tools, great interoperability and a powerful platform that enables them to innovate”, says Hachamovitch.

The move was under consideration for quite some time, but now its confirmation has been made by Software giant’s Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell who announced that news.

“The current slowdown in economic activities is somewhat worse-than-expected in that quarter, and we had to act quickly to decrease the structure of cost and reduce its impact,” Liddell said.

“Microsoft is planning things for the economic uncertainties that may continue throughout the year and that can lead to lower earnings and revenue in the coming times,” Liddell added.

The news emerges after Microsoft announcement of 11% drop in profits for the 2nd Q net income, as the company made $4.17b in that.

Microsoft also has a considerable presence in UK, however, it has not been announced yet in which part of the world these jobs to be cut.
