The name of the next Xbox is almost certainly Xbox Fusion

Microsoft has registered a bunch of Xbox Fusion domain names, and they redirect to the official Xbox site. That’s about as close to a confirmation as you’re likely to get.

Microsoft working on a 7-inch Surface tablet.

A 7 inch surface is not going to solve MS worries. Surface doesn’t offer anything unique over an iPad or a Nexus 10 and in the same way, the 7 inch surface is not going to give something unique over an iPad Mini or Nexus 7, instead it lacks the backing of app ecosystem present with slates running iOS and Android and the Metro/Modern UI that is tough to navigate for an average Joe. Microsoft also can’t price it competitively enough with iPad Mini, forget Nexus 7 and Kindle fire device, it is a ‘Dead on Arrival’ product and surely is not going to solve MS woes.

PC Shipments Post the Steepest Decline Ever in a Single Quarter

Windows licences are declining and as a result office licences are also downfalling. Microsoft stills expects Windows RT, 8 and Surface devices to catch up which is not happening anytime soon. Microsoft’s online services division has lost no less than $17.5 billion and a $6 billion dollar writeoff of the ad platform acquisition which totals more than the market value at which Google went public. Going ahead the days are darker for once the mightiest tech company, Good Luck, MS. I would advise to kickstart a turnaround by firing Steve Ballmer.

Google is trying to hijack all other operating system with this move. Soon every PC, Mac and Linux powered Computing device would be a hybrid ChromeBook. The real paradigmatic shift in computing is coming and this war would be interesting to watch. Google is trying to turn the PC market upside down with its Chrome OS strategy by infiltrating the major computing operating systems.
