Windows 7 To Be Released Next Year?

KrispySausage writes "A recently-released roadmap for the next major Window release — Windows 7 — indicates that Microsoft is planning to release the new operating system in the second half of 2009, rather than the anticipated release date of some time in 2010. This quickly-approaching release date would seem to be at least partially verified by news of a milestone build available for review by an anonymous third party." We've previously discussed the upcoming new OS version, as well as its danger to Vista.

    Wow, what a creative name they came up with. Knowing M$, they probably thought the problem with Vista was it's name and not the O/S and this is their solution.

    "itll probably end up being a minor change, Vista SP2 with new name?"

    And, most important, with a price tag.
