Microsoft is planning on displaying four operating systems at the Computex trade show next week – Windows 7, Windows Embedded, Windows Mobile, and Windows Server.

Windows 7:

Windows Embedded:

Windows Mobile:

Windows Server:

The newest Windows operating systems would be displayed on a variety of computing devices, including netbooks, notebooks, tablets, and all-in-one PCs. At Computex, Microsoft is planning on collaborating with 16 PC manufacturers and run their operating systems on more than 30 products.

One reason Microsoft is doing all this is to make up for its not-so-successful release of Windows Vista back in 2005. Microsoft also hopes that by releasing Windows 7, there will be an increase in hardware upgrades as well as the creation of business opportunities.

Elitegroup Computer Systems is set to display its new product lines at Computex Taipei 2009, and netbooks are on the agenda.

ECS will be displaying a new series of AMD and Intel CPU motherboards, including the P55H-A, A785GM-M, and A790GMX-AD3. The new motherboards are adaptable to both ATI and NVIDIA graphics, and ECS will be releasing its own graphics card line as well: the “Black (high performance), Green (environment friendly) and Silent (home entertainment) Series,” set to please a whole variety of users.

The company’s environmental policy, “Protect the Earth & Enrich Life,” is being implemented in a variety of new products:

“ECS features green PCB, low power consumption, space saving and carbon reduction through a series of smart designs of notebook, netbook, All-in-one and small-form-factor desktop systems in Computex. ECS also presents its advanced wireless WiMAX handheld devices in the up coming trade show.”

We’re definitely pumped to see what this means for netbooks.

Apparently nobody alerted the people responsible for Computex 2009 about the depressed global economy. This year, Computex is set to be the biggest yet and netbooks will hold a huge role.

The annual trade show connects buyers from everywhere in the world in touch with manufacturers for the newest, hottest products around. The show alone generates billions in business revenues. The External Trade Development Council (known as ‘Taitra) expects the show will generate $19 billion between June 2 and 6, 2009.

Taitra’s Executive VP, Walter Yeh, says the show will focus on netbooks. “Taiwan becomes the most important sourcing centre for netbook computers… Next year our major producers, Acer, Asus, MSI, also international companies like Intel, Nvidia will all introduce new products for MID here in Taiwan.”

Get excited – this means big things for the business. We should be seeing all kinds of new releases by June next year on account of the show.
