windows 7 os due soon
Earlier this week, Bill Gates announced that Windows 7, code name of Vienna, and before that, "Blackcomb" (named for a ski slope at Whistler, British Columbia), would be available sometime in 2009. However, by the next day, Microsoft announced that Windows 7 would not see the light of day prior to 2010. So which is it. Normally it takes Microsoft 3 years to put out a new operating system but with Vista having earlier problems It's not surprising. The next edition of Windows will technically be the seventh generation of the Windows NT codebase which is now the foundation for the client OS (the clock starts at Windows NT 3.1; this was followed by NT 4, while Windows 2000 was also ‘Windows NT 5' and XP a mere 5.1, until Vista clicked the meter over to Windows version 6). Computer makers have been told they'll no longer be able to get Windows XP OEM by the end of this year, despite consumer resistance to Vista and its compatibility problems. Microsoft's contracts with computer makers will require companies to only sell Vista-loaded machines. As my gandpappy used to say "If you are are going to to do something do it right. Don't do it half assed." |
