Microsoft: Windows 7 still slated for 2010
Last week, Bill Gates stirred up the waters a little bit by suggesting the next major Windows OS version would be available as early as next year. Though many welcomed the news of an OS refresh ahead of schedule (while bashing Vista at the same time), it appears that Windows 7 won’t be ready in its final version any earlier than 2010 – three years from Windows Vista’s rocky introduction to market.
Microsoft said Gates may have been referring to early trials or test versions of Windows 7, not the actual retail-ready product. Unsurprisingly, the company did not offer up any additional information related to the new operating system’s specific tools and features or how it will differ from Vista in terms of features and presentation.

it run on pretty crap systems. Stop exaggerating.
=P So sick of Vista/Microsoft bashing. It's boring now, get over it; good computers run Vista fine.

NCIX support Vista 64 bit. All I can say is "wtf".

| 9Nails on April 8, 2008 10:18 PM | Windows 7 launch in 2010. Windows 7 Service Pack 1, guestimating, in 2011. Learning that I have at least another 3 years of life left in my PC is wonderful. I just might have some credit cards paid off before then, only to jack them back up again when I have to buy my dual 8-core 8 Gig RAM, 2 Gig video, and RAID 0 Raptor computer system needed to run Windows 7. Do you think I can get that in a laptop by then?
