...2009?

Microsoft has reportedly told PC and systems engineering partners that Windows 7, the successor to Windows Vista, will be on PCs in time for the next holiday season.

So the summer of 2011 then.

It was a good year.

  Ain't you lot got any faith in the wonderful Microsoft organisation??

[Rik]

No. Next question?

[Glenn]

I have heard that Windows 7 will the finished version of Vista, or rather what Vista should have been when it was released.

[Rik]

It's what I've believed from the outset, Glenn. I've always had the feeling that Vista was released because of market pressures rather than when it was ready.

Erm? Let me think about that!

[Rik]

That shouldn't take too long.

Give them a chance Rik.  They've got to wait and see what Apple does next so they can copy it come out with some 'innovative technology'.  

[Rik]

 

This is true.

There is quite an interesting blog about Windows 7 here :-

Quite a few of the people writing are well known in the Windows field but are not associated with M$.

From what is written it certainly looks like it is Vista revamped.

[Rik]

Why am I not surprised, JB?

[JB]

'Cos like me you're an old cynic?

[Rik]

That about sums it up.
