Windows 7 will be modular

Windows 7 will be modular - ?

5th April 2008

The next version of the client operating system of Windows, known at the moment as Windows 7, could become modular. At least according to ArsTechnica, this opinion was said by some analysts and experts.
Works on Windows 7 are far from being completed, and Microsoft prefers not to talk on their future product. It is known, however, that in Windows 7 the developers are intended to improve the handwriting and expand opportunities for work with touch panel displays. It is likely, that the program platform will include Internet Explorer 8, even though Microsoft does not officially mention the two products together.
According to analysts, the modular concept allows Microsoft to enhance the functionality of Windows through additional components supplied separately. In principle, Microsoft has used a similar approach for quite a long time in releasing operating systems. For example, Windows Vista is available in several modifications with different features, meant for different users. In fact, the point is that the buyer of Windows 7 will receive some basic frame and then supplement it with the necessary components and even Web services.
