The Today Show Helps to Launch Windows 7 by Showing in on a Macbook

Thank the lord the Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer did not turn around when he was launching Windows 7 on the today show, or he would have had a heart attack. Someone at the today show must really like Macbook’s or was pulling a funny prank because, as you can see in the above image, Windows 7 is shown on a Macbook.

We also have to consider that Ballmer may have noticed and just did not care. He may have just thought that it just promotes Windows 7 because it shows the wide verity of systems the Windows 7 can run on. Anyways you can watch the video above.

Ballmer Says Search is Microsoft’s Biggest Mistake

When Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was asked if he could just have one do-over Ballmer said, "I would probably say I would start sooner on search."

For a few years now Ballmer has been talking about search and has said that Microsoft needs to put more effort into it. The Yahoo deal last year did not work out so now they are trying Bing.

Microsoft: No New Xbox for you Next Year

No matter what Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer said in Chicago, Microsoft is not planning to release the next Xbox next year.

In a blog post, on Thursday Microsoft said that the Xbox 360 is not even halfway through its lifetime. Microsoft also went on to say that they would not release a new Xbox until late into the next decade. Microsoft is planning to introduce Project Natal, a new gesture-recognizing controller, which is expected for release next year. Ballmer may have gotten this confused with the Xbox. Microsoft has not yet confirmed the release date.

"As the Xbox team stated at E3 two weeks ago, we are not even halfway through the current console generation lifecycle and believe Xbox 360 will be the entertainment center in the home for long into the next decade. Project Natal will be an important part of this platform, but we have not confirmed a launch date at this time."– Microsoft said in a blog post.

That doesn't completely shut the door on new hardware for 2010. Although Microsoft has said it plans to offer Natal as an add-on to the Xbox 360, it seems reasonable that the company might well come out with some new bundle or set-up to accompany Natal's arrival as it looks to convert all of those Wii owners.
