Windows Phone 7 "Official Launch", Oct 11th
There's been huge speculation about when Microsoft would launch Windows Phone 7. Microsoft had already pre-booked an event to be held in New York City on October 11th but some commentators such as technology blogger Paul Thurrott said that Microsoft held an event there every year and this wouldn't be it, so people started talking about October 25th instead.
Now Microsoft have come clean and announced that October 11th IS indeed the correct date. In an event announcement on their website they say...
Windows Phone 7 Worldwide Launch Event @ the NYC Microsoft Technology Center Monday 10/11/10
Monday, October 11, 2010 3:00 PM - Monday, October 11, 2010 4:30 PM Eastern Time (US & Canada) Welcome Time: 2:45 PM
The event will include a five-minute keynote, 20 minutes of presentations on Windows Phone 7 and the following hour taken up by Q&As and one-to-one demonstrations with staff from T-Mobile. In a nice touch there will also be a raffle at 4:30 (perhaps with tea and scones?)
Anybody who'll be in New York on the day and would like to book can do so on the Microsoft website but journalists and technology bloggers will be bagging all the limited number of seats very early today.
Windows Phone 7 is a very exciting launch for Microsoft and cements their return to excellent product innovation that, in fairness, began recently with Internet Explorer 9. Apple and Google, who will inevitably be watching the launch to see how much press attention it garners, will have to up their game to stay ahead of Microsoft in the future.
This will be doubly hard as Microsoft have already announce that they will be launching Windows Phone 7 with a $1bn worldwide promotional budget, and that's on top of whatever the handset manufacturers and carriers throw at the launch as well.
While October 11th will be eagerly awaited by many people, this pundit can't help feeling that microsoft didn't miss a trick by having the launch event a day earlier in the same way that the "3" 3G mobile network in the UK launched on 3/3/03.

Are these articles AI generated?
Now the duplicates are more obvious.
This is below AI generated crap. It is copy of Microsoft Help website article without any relevant supporting text. Anyway you can find this information on many pages.
Yes, but why post the exact same article under a different title twice on the same day (19 march 2023), by two different writers?
1.) Excel Keyboard Shortcuts by Trevor Monteiro.
2.) 70+ Excel Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows by Priyanka Monteiro
Why oh why?
Yeah. Tell me more about “Priyanka Monteiro”. I’m dying to know. Indian-Portuguese bot ?
Probably they will announce that the taskbar will be placed at top, right or left, at your will.
Special event by they is a special crap for us.
If it’s Microsoft, don’t buy it.
Better brands at better prices elsewhere.
All new articles have zero count comments. :S
WTF? So, If I add one photo to 5 albums, will it count 5x on my storage?
It does not make any sense… on google photos, we can add photo to multiple albums, and it does not generate any additional space usage
I have O365 until end of this year, mostly for onedrive and probably will jump into google one
Photo storage must be kept free because customers chose gadgets just for photos and photos only.
What a nonsense. Does it mean that albums are de facto folders with copies of our pictures?
Sounds exactly like the poor coding Microsoft is known for in non-critical areas i.e. non Windows Core/Office Core.
I imagine a manager gave an employee the task to create the album feature with hardly any time so they just copied the folder feature with some cosmetic changes.
And now that they discovered what poor management results in do they go back and do the album feature properly?
Nope, just charge the customer twice.
Sounds like a go-getter that needs to be promoted for increasing sales and managing underlings “efficiently”, said the next layer of middle management.
When will those comments get fixed? Was every editor here replaced by AI and no one even works on this site?
Instead of a software company, Microsoft is now a fraud company.
For me this is proof that Microsoft has a back-door option into all accounts in their cloud.
quote “…… as the MSA key allowed the hacker group access to virtually any cloud account at Microsoft…..”
unquote
so this MSA key which is available to MS officers can give access to all accounts in MS cloud.This is the backdoor that MS has into the cloud accounts. Lucky I never got any relevant files of mine in their (MS) cloud.
>”Now You: what is your theory?”
That someone handed an employee a briefcase full of cash and the employee allowed them access to all their accounts and systems.
Anything that requires 5-10 different coincidences to happen is highly unlikely. Occam’s razor.
Good reason to never login to your precious machine with a Microsoft a/c a.k.a. as the cloud.
The GAFAM are always very careless about our software automatically sending to them telemetry and crash dumps in our backs. It’s a reminder not to send them anything when it’s possible to opt out, and not to opt in, considering what they may contain. And there is irony in this carelessness biting them back, even if in that case they show that they are much more cautious when it’s their own data that is at stake.
