Everyone expects Apple to come up with something great every year as far as the mobile phone industry is concerned. So along with the new models that one is expecting Apple to come up with this year, their new Operating System for handsets is something however that Apple has been promising fans for a long time- iPhone OS 4.0. This new version is supposed to be able to support multi tasking as one of the biggest features of the software that has got everybody excited.

However the problem is that even though the software is being talked about quite a lot the company has themselves proclaimed that there is a long way to go before it is finally ready to be released. And now with all the hype about the upcoming iPad launch it seems to be that it will be even longer before the OS 4.0 is going to be released.

In the survey, in which feedback from over 1000 IT administration was received, show that nearly 60 percent businesses have no plan to adopt Windows 7. Scrip Logic was the company who conducted that survey in which 1000 responses were received out of 20,000 survey that were distributed.

Nearly one third of survey respondent told that they were planning to deploy by the end of next year, and nearly 5.4% said that they are considering moving to Windows 7 by the end of this year. Nearly 60% responded said that they had no plans at that time, however, there are chances that some of them would move to the new OS.

The survey tells about the impact of tough economic conditions on various businesses, as most of businesses said that their tight budget didn’t allow them to adopt the new operating system.

Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Home Premium are the two main versions about which the Software maker looks quite keen to talk about, but you shouldn’t think that only few versions are out there, as there are 5 in UK and 6 worldwide. Aside from that there are some nice implications for netbooks as well.

The main changes, which have been made on partners and customers feedback, are that every high-end version of the operating system will get all those features that exist in lower end versions. For instance, you will find all those features of Windows 7 professionals that have been made available in Windows 7 Home Premium.

It wasn’t so in Windows Vista, as Media Center was available in Home Premium, but not in Vista Business.

Though Microsoft looks quite eager to convince us that you can simply choose from Professional and Home Premium, lots of other versions are available as well. Now Home Basic version has replaced Starter Edition in the emerging markets. Starter Edition used to available in such locations traditionally.

However, Starter will be made available quite widely, but it’s still limited to only three open applications and this limitation would cause poor performance of the Windows on some netbook.

Aspire One 10 inches netbook will not be having a second SD card slot unlike the previous 8.9 inches Aspire One. The Acer spokesperson states that the second slot is not present in the new version “due to the increase in standard storage sizes”.

The second SD slot in the previous version was helpful in holding a flash memory card. Inside the netbook, it helped to strengthen and enlarge the working of 8GB or 16GB SSD, whichever it came with.
