Windows 7 may come next Year

    Bill Gates announced on a Conference in Miami that Windows 7 is due next year. His employees quickly rationalized his comments after the conference and told CNN that he was only talking about an Alpha version....:rolleyes:

    I only have the link to the German article: http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/tech/0,1518,545780,00.html

    If any of you have an English version, please post it.

    Let's hope that it will come quickly ;-)

    Windows 7 is just a working title. And it's expected to be released in 2010. I'm holding on to XP in the mean time.

    XP foreva!!! Err... well not forever, I mean sooner or later, we'll have to ditch it but I'll try to use it for as long as 3rd party developers stop supporting it. XP has to be one of the best OS MS has ever produced.

    Ms agrees that Vista is crap. They should create new operating system from scratch. And don;t delay it's releases like Vista

    MS aggrees nothing of the sort, Vista is great! Just some people don't know how to use it or waht to use it on :p. It's always been MS strategy to develop new OS as soon as the last one is released. It takes a good couple of years to develop; pointless sitting around for a year to two before starting to develop the next OS ...

    I don't think windows 7 is going to release in the next year......................!

    it will take a long time to release due to delay in the release of vista and they will also delay the Win7 :p

    At first I thought it was spam, but then I think I have to believe it after I saw that news [dot] com link.

    But that still could be a rumour, that's how the news industry works.

    Anyways, I am on a Mac, so this is not of any use to me :)

    I think we all kinda knew this was coming due to the low acceptance of Vista. Its better for Microsoft to cut its losses and move forward.
