murrc2 So we all remember when Microsoft pulled out of a deal with Family Guy to show a sponsor for their new operating system Windows 7 within their show.
However Microsoft never went a head with the special episode of Family guy and I can see why.
Below are the videos of the unaired clips that Microsoft released on their youtube channel today.

November 18th, 2009 murrc2 Microsoft have gave some hints on the new features of their upcoming Windows 9.
See below:
Some details:
- On HTML 5: Microsoft was coy about whether it would support all of the HTML 5 standards, the next generation of HTML. The company doesn’t seem willing to commit to the standard until it is set in stone, but “wants to be responsible” about supporting it.
- On Javscript: They admit that their previous browsers don’t match the speed of Firefox (Firefox) or Chrome (Chrome). However, it appears that IE9 looks to narrow this gap. From some of the data they presented, it looks like they’re getting closer to matching the other browsers (though they don’t beat them).
- On CSS Support: It looks like IE9 will finally get better CSS support, especially for rounded corners. It’s a disappointment though, when you consider the other browsers have supported these things for years.
- On Hardware Acceleration: IE9 will utilize DirectX hardware acceleration to improve graphic and AJAX rendering. It will push more work towards the GPU. This is actually looks pretty slick from first appearances.

November 8th, 2009 murrc2 When it comes to Tv commercials Microsoft is always the most boring. Their not even close to Apple or Google. They are always showing crap ads for windows vista, and cheap Laptops, never anything that intrigues the viewer.
Microsoft will be releasing the new OS, windows 7 and if their advertisement continue to be a flop then their products will also follow just like Vista did.
Well here is the Windows 7 TV advertisement. Let me know what you think:

November 4th, 2009 murrc2 Microsoft began the redesign of MSN.com earlier tonight. The new look it a lot more organised and has a lot less cluster. MSN.com’s new design adds a whole new social layer and increases its intergration with Bing.
I like the new design , it has a lot less clutter than the previous design and is easier to navigate. The new design focuses a lot more on video and importing social media streams. Msn is one of the most visited websites in the world. With over 80 -100 million U.S visitors alone per month.

Yesterday the shocking news emerged that Myspace and facebook were negotiating a content-sharing agreement. This came as a surprise seeing how it was Facebook that took over from myspace in dominating the social space.
But that’s not the end of myspace’s talks, fresh news has broke that myspace are also in talks with MSN over some sort of music deal. Kara Swisher says “MSN is interested in using the social networking site’s music service, MySpace Music, to help power music offerings on the giant portal,”
“While sources at both companies cautioned the talks were still early, Microsoft (MSFT) – which has its own music site that it programs with original and partnered content – execs are interested in goosing it.”
This will see MSN users having access to a lot more music which will surely benefit Microsoft, not to mention the cash that Myspace would receive if such a deal went a head would benefit them greatly.
