Rumorama: Windows 7 Coming Next Year?
It seems that Microsoft is ready to get past the Vista fiasco as fast as possible, because despite publicly claiming that Windows 7, the successor to Vista, was coming out early 2010 at the earliest, the internal calendar at Microsoft pegs the release of Windows 7 as June 3, 2009.
When asked for comment, Microsoft replied with the customary "no comment," though they repeated that their "development is scoped to three years from Windows Vista consumer general availability" line that references Vista's 2007 release, reinforcing the previously mentioned 2010 release date.
Could we be interpreting Microsoft's latest ad campaign all wrong? Could it really end up as just one big tease for Windows 7 and this 2009 date be real?
Sure, there is a goal of improving Vista's image as well, but that can be tone almost tangentially as a stop-over for a much larger campaign to build up anticipation for Windows 7.
Of course, I could just be giving Microsoft entirely too much credit here.

Time to start putting coins on the piggy bank, should I get a desktop? Yeah they last longer :).
Anyways I hope this is true, XP has lasted a long time and while I understand Vista is not as bad as everyone says I just don't have the money to update every year. Like 98SE I think XP can last until the next big OS, Windows 7, or so I hope.
