When it comes to copy and paste, Microsoft argues that there's a better way of doing things on the phone. Rather than include the feature in Windows Phone 7 Series devices (something many users say they want), Microsoft argues that a better approach is simply to offer so-called smart links--which recognize a block of text, such as a hyperlink, phone number, or address, and allow a specific action to be taken. For a phone number, such "smart links" would allow the number to be dialed. An address might get pulled up in the mapping program, while clicking on a hyperlink would open that page in the browser. "We don't enable copy and paste and we do that very intentionally," Windows Phone executive Todd Brix said in an interview at Microsoft's Mix conference earlier this week. "It's actually an intentional design decision," he said. "We try to anticipate what the user wants so copy and paste isn't necessary." Here's a look at...

Google ( GOOG , Fortune 500 )'s Android has only made a crowded space even tougher for Microsoft. Now, after months of speculation, Microsoft has confirmed that 7 will be a tiles based interface and include live access to Facebook, plus its own offerings X-Box Live for gaming and Zune for music and photos. Its search engine Bing is also included. Microsoft says it looks like nothing on the market and the advantage lies with consumers gaining instant access to all these offerings on their smartphones. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told CNN that this is a major push for the company to get back in the mobile space...

 Software maker Microsoft recorded a bigger-than-expected 60 percent jump in quarterly profit, thanks to strong sales of its latest operating system, Windows 7 . The company also said it expected business technology spending to recover this year. "We didn't see enterprise spending growth in our fiscal second quarter just ended," Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein said. "However, our general view is a recovery will occur starting this calendar year and gradually over the next several years," he added. Microsoft's net profit came to US$6.7 billion, or 74 cents per share, for its fiscal second quarter, versus US$4.2 billion, or 47 cents per share, a year ago.
