Fix A Split Snowboard

Windows 7 will not apply to emails or photos


Microsoft has confirmed that certain applications for simple tasks such as editing photos or check emails will not be part of Windows 7. The company told specifically, Photo Gallery, Windows Mail and Movie Maker to be replaced by downloadable applications that will work in conjunction with Windows Live to deliver the same functionality. The company says this will allow a quicker release of Windows 7 and opens the possibility of working with other companies to replace these applications. Speaking to Cnet the Windows Live general manager Brian Hall said the company thinks it made no sense to offer two programs with the same functionality as it can confuse consumers. This decision demonstrates how Microsoft's strategy focuses increasingly on online services and its intention to make Windows 7 is much lighter than Vista. In addition, this move could prevent Microsoft has to face legal action for not opening its operating system to other companies
