No comments July 11th, 2009

Well done today, Steven Sinofsky, he is the new president of Windows and his responsibilities will be Windows 7. He has a lot expericen working with MS and we are only expecting good discipline and a lot of success.
Steven has been with MS for a long time and he is previously known avoiding the “Vista Disaster”.
He will be responsible for the Windows 7 Public release. For those who have followed Sinofsky, they know that he does not make random promises too soon. When he promises something, he is almost 100% sure that he will meet the customer expectations.
Having him in charge, the future Windows 7 users can be sure that deadlines will be met at the expected quality level.
This is the man for the job, apparently Ms is really betting a lot on the new Windows 7, they claim that they have listened to the customer, but it is not the customer who has requested Sinofsky. Appointing the best man for that position is clearly the desire of MS to finally satisfy the customer need at 100%.
