Microsoft New Logo

In July, Microsoft reported a quarterly loss for the first time since 26 years on the market. One month later, Microsoft came up with a new logo to replace the current logo which had been used for 25 years.

This is the first and major step taken before the official launch of Windows Mobile 8 in 5th September, one week ahead of iPhone5, and Windows 8 in October.

Windows 8 is the product that Microsoft is relying on getting back its market in the consumer business, especially on smartphones and tablets. Windows 8 is the first Microsoft OS that is able to run in both x86 and ARM processors.

If you buy a new PC now with Windows 7, you can upgrade to Windows 8 with USD 14.99 when it is released.
