images/news/windows.jpgMicrosoft has been holding fast to its "three years" development time frame for Windows 7 since forever, the problem is that it's never been clear when that three year period started. Well wonder no longer, Microsoft has finally officially confirmed that the three years started at Windows Vista's general availability release, which was January 30th, 2007. Obviously that doesn't mean will have Windows 7 on midnight of January 30th, 2010, but it does mean we can look forward to sometime within that year for a release. Microsoft plans to give an exact release date only once Windows 7 "meets its quality bar for release." Sounds like a good metric to go by, if you ask us.

Isn't it amazing how the next OS flies out the door when the previous OS ain't doing so well?

Haven't (ME) we been here before?

honestly... vista is not a bad os. with server 2008 being so fast w/o all the "stuff", it will be an OS to keep shooting for. Me was horrible... but vista is quite good. I don't know why it has gotten such a bad press, but definitely the press has put them REALLY down...

i use x64 vista ult and have no issues with it.

I dont mind Vista at all great OS and really i have never had a BSOD or Greenie. but it does run a bit slower than XP. At work i use XP. I dont need all the pretty screens, just something to get the job done fast

I dont like the drm, that is one reason I dont want that, the layout is quite a change from the comfortable and convenient XP as well, But the #1 reason I dont care for it is the fact that its not as good as XP for most everything, the one thing it has that is better then xp is Directx 10 and thats about a joke for now.
