CNET reports that during a technical session at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference in Los Angeles, Microsoft director Jim Howe gave a presentation that seemed to confirm that Windows 7 will be on PCs by next year’s holiday season. (Techmeme) This little nugget isn’t exactly a big surprise.

“Definitely the holiday focus is going to be on 7,” Howe told CNET following his presentation during a technical session about Velocity, a program designed to improve PC quality. It has been widely speculated, though never confirmed by Microsoft, that Windows 7 will ship around mid-year, in time to be on machines that ship for the 2009 holiday season.
Microsoft has avoided a public commitment on a shipping date for Windows 7, trying to avoid the PR hit that would come from missing a deadline. The official word from the company is that Windows will ship within three years of the January 2007 consumer release of Windows Vista. The company has said that it will ship a beta version early next year.

i'm still waiting to get flash player to work with 64 bit vista. these worms need to fix
what what they have before moving on.
i agree. i think they need to fix vista before worrying about unleashing another
half-baked product into the world. as i write this even, i'm reinstalling vista which has
decided to stop working for whatever reason. worked fine last nite but its fvcked this
morning. yeah what a great reliable os you have there micro$hit.
flash player is a third party program dumb ass..
i see there are still dumb people blaming vista for their problems.
most problems on
any os are caused by user inputs...
i've read in dailytech and microsoft confirmed that the release will be on the middle
off 2009...see for yourself

vement+program/article13378.htm
stop visiting p0rn sites on friday night and getting loads of backdoor malware installed
on your system. thats probably why it dont work this morning kid!
small d!ck - i was editing hd video actually but anyway...
dpsx7 - and what inputs
exactly you twit? it was working encoding a friggen video file and i try to start it up
the next morning and i get an error saying crcdisk is corrupt. friggen micro$hit
fans...you are certainly a different breed.
vista is garbage, just the beta w7 6801 is 20x better than vista. windows 7 is actually
very promising. the only quirk i see right now is explorer is way different in file
structure. also it seems the install of w7 actually partitions your hard drive for some
reason.
sounds like your hard drive is bad, thats hardly a fault of the os...
i have
had vista since release day and i have had no problems like you cry babies have :)
seems to me, most here have no idea how to use a simple program like windows haha.
microdik ,buy a legal version dikhead, then your vista will work!
dpsx7 - not a hard drive fault because i installed xp over the top to test it and that
works. type the error into google and you'll see it's widespread and surprise, surprise
unresolved by microsoft. i work in a service industry where i hear omplaints about vista
on a near daily basis so you and your "working copy" are in a minority, trust me.
to baron - its an rtm release i got through work from none other than microsoft.
crcdisk means i need to run out and grab a legal copy does it? idiot.
thats a pretty silly call so say inputs and users are behind vista's problems. i
upgraded to vista and do all the same things i used to do with xp and i have problems on
an almost weekly basis!
i never did with xp.
these same people bashing vista, will be talking about how great it is once windows 7
comes out and people start bashing it. by that time xp will no longer support anything
current, and they will finally have to lay that savior to rest.
history repeats
itself. this whole anti-vista thang is not new. i saw it with 95, 98, and
surprize-surprize.... xp.
i take it everyone with the view "vista=me 7=xp" wearn't actually using pc's that
much back then! when xp came out everyone was saying "stick with 2000 or 98" because xp
was for from being stable, and didn't get 100% stable until the release of sp2. i have
been running vista since early pre beta builds and although it was slow in the early
stages (which is expected from early builds) i now find it a hell of alot quicker than xp.
also vista x64 is mainstream and there are hardly any pieces of hardware that won't work
flawlessly in x64. xp is fine if you don't want to use the new cpu's and ram to their
full potential. windows 7 probably be quicker than vista and this is to be expected from a
new os (just like vista being faster than xp) but as far as i'm concerned vista deserves
little to no bashing because it can hold it’s own against any m$ release to date.
also the reason that most people don’t like vista is because they expect it to run on
hardware that was released around the same time as xp. well idiots i’m sure you can
understand the error in your judgment there!! and if not then you shouldn’t even be on
sites that discuss technical pc topics as you clearly don’t have the brain power to
understand the fundamentals…
first off, i'm a computer technician, and i have to say that vista is pretty awesome.
for those of you who are having major problems with vista, it's probably because you are
installing vista on an old outdated machine, or on a pc that is built and not correctly
configured, defective hardware, and / or installing incompatible drivers. make sure you
install drivers and programs that are "vista" compatible. i installed vista sp1 eight
months ago on my new pc and haven't had any problems to this very day. the only problem
that i see is that there isn't enough software that runs on 64 bit vista (for now). 64
bit will eventually become mainstream. no os is perfect, but i feel vista has come a long
way.
