Windows 7 in the Next Year?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the also-duke-nukem-forever dept.

Microsoft's efforts to get businesses to adopt Vista may come to a screeching halt now that Bill Gates has announced "Sometime in the next year or so we will have a new version", referring to Windows 7, the next expected version of the company's flagship desktop operating system.With a new version available soon, many organizations may decide to wait and see if they can avoid the pain of a Vista rollout altogether.

    I'm not so sure that having all Vista compatible apps also Linux compatible would be the "death sentence" for Microsoft.

    If there was a company that made a "professional, commercial" Linux-type OS that could run all Windows programs natively, I'd not only buy 5 copies, but stock in the company.

    Hell, I'd tattoo their logo on my neck.
