Week In Review 51W2010

Big splash this week was rumours about Microsoft porting Windows to ARM. This is priceless. I, for one, look forward to seeing Windows7 booting on a 600MHz ARMv6. You guys remember WinCE ? It ran on ARM. This smells of WindowsNT for Alpha.

Microsoft sold 1.5M WP7 devices to carriers and retailers. Meanwhile Apple sold 1M AppleTV2 last week

FCC approved a watered down version of net neutrality. The Dems voted for while the 2 Reps voted strongly against cause they didn’t feel it represented the views of the people lining their pockets.
