With the market just having adopted Vista, Microsoft is already announcing the release of its next operating system - Windows 7. Microsoft has been reporting excitedly about this latest Windows release and its various improvements. The new release also has something for the users of mobile-broadband.

Microsoft has said in its blog that Windows 7 will ensure a better OS support to wireless modems in order to improve their reliability and provide for a better customer experience. While the details on the features are still sketchy, the list of companies that will support the initiative was announced and includes companies like Asus, Huawei, Fujitsu, Siemens, and T-Mobile.

Asus recently demonstrated a 3.5G enabled Eee PC running on Windows 7. The Eee PC was equipped with Huawei’s EM770 embedded module, a brand new product made especially for Windows 7. Asus also demonstrated as to how the platform enhances high-speed mobile-broadband experience for a user.

Mobile broadband is a technology that is fast gaining ground. There is consensus that the technology will beat all other types of broadband internet connectivity within the next few years. The step by Microsoft gains significance, given the fact that it is currently being challenged by both Apple and Google in its products portfolio. By creating an OS built for the future, the company can ensure its dominance for several more years.

However, eager customers will of course have to wait until the official launch of Windows 7. The timeframe set by the company should see the launch later this year but not many will be surprised if the launch is delayed until 2011.
