Last month we learned that Microsoft was dropping the three-application limit for Windows 7 Starter. We noted that this was excellent news for netbook customers who want Windows 7, but the biggest aspect (price) was still yet to be unveiled. It will be very important for PC manufacturers to offer Windows 7 without increasing the price significantly. Windows 7 Starter will not be sold at retail: it will be sold directly to OEMs, which will then include it on low-end computers like netbooks. Citing "industry sources," DigiTimes reports that the XP to 7 transition for these computers won't be so easy.

The current price of Windows XP OEM version is only around US$25-30, but the latest quotes from Microsoft for the netbook version of Windows 7 is around US$45-55 and therefore first-tier vendors are unable to transfer the cost to the netbooks' sales price due to the fierce competition. The first-tier notebook vendors are still negotiating with Microsoft hoping to bring the price down.
Note that there is no "netbook version" of Windows 7; the article is likely referring to the cheapest edition that will be primarily offered on netbooks: Windows 7 Starter. While no official numbers are known for Windows XP Starter, in May 2005 PC makers said they were paying between $15 to $35 for each copy, and in April 2009 it was speculated that Microsoft was actually charging under $15 per copy.

This translates to about a $50 increase in price if netbook makers want to offer Windows 7 as opposed to Windows XP. That typically isn't a big deal, but for netbooks, $50 is a very big difference, so it's no wonder OEMs are still trying to negotiate with Microsoft. Most laptops currently offer Windows Vista, which should have a much smoother price change going to Windows 7. While it is unlikely that Microsoft will be announcing the actual prices for Windows 7 Starter, the software giant is expected to announce the retail prices of other editions before the end of the month. Redmond will be mainly pushing the Home Premium and Professional editions to the majority of markets.

Android running on devices at Computex was "snappy," while Windows 7 less so, according to a Gartner report published Monday. The report concluded that there is momentum behind the ARM chip platform.

"Android is the first Linux OS backed by a strong consumer brand--Google," write analysts Christian Heidarson and Ben Lee in Gartner's Semiconductor DQ Monday Report.

Though they stopped short of endorsing the platform--saying that Android is a work-in-progress--they did offer some hope for future Android-based devices running on ARM processors versus Windows 7-based Netbooks running on Intel's Atom processor. "There is a sense among PC manufacturers that although Android is not ready for prime time today--or tomorrow--it will inevitably get there," they wrote.

The report continued. "When Android did work, we found that the user interface was very snappy on relatively low-performance ARM processors, more so than on Windows 7 on (Intel's) Atom. What we learned about support from critical software vendors convinced us that there is momentum behind ARM in the PC industry, enabled by Android."

In an interview last month, Michael Rayfield, general manager of the mobile business unit at graphics chipmaker Nvidia, echoed this sentiment. "Android has got a roar ahead of it," he said. But he added: "I think it's three of four quarters from a large-screen device." Nvidia is developing its ARM-based Tegra chip platform for Android as well as Windows CE.

Other chipmakers such as Freescale Semiconductor are also touting the potential for Android on ARM-based chips. "The potential that Google has--this has got everybody's attention," said Glen Burchers, director of global consumer segment marketing at Freescale, in an interview last month.

Just saw this on Twitter, apparently a new post RC build of Windows 7 has leaked...again. Apart from that, there seems to be a new branding wallpaper included with this update that shows the recent nature oriented Windows logo at a higher resolution using the traditional Windows flag colors. What I particularly love about this background is the simplicity of it. I do like the Welcome Screen background in the Release Candidate, but I believe there is just too much use of those subtle waves. The background picture now hosted on UXEvangelist blog is just the perfect balance of beauty and simplicity without the crowded look of the present welcome screen in build 7100.

I believe using this background, minus the Windows logo of course would be perfect. Your thoughts.
