Microsoft must know the right time to release Windows 7

Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversBack in 2006, Microsoft released its last installment of Windows till date, Windows Vista to the market (Although it was released on January 2007 for broader audience and retail market).
I don’t think that release was scheduled on a timely manner, it’s still a slapped in something to me. It’s like they did not have something for many days and so they released a stand in version to quench peoples thirst for a short amount of time. Vista is still a hotchpotch to me, making things worse in most of the cases. But it introduced some revolutionary changes to Windows and these changes are nothing those can be ignored. Now it was up to Microsoft to put together these new technologies into a more sophisticated and streamlined approach that can actually run on consumer PCs. That resulted with Windows 7, by far the best from their stable.
It takes a really wise decision to bring out one’s assets to public in a befitting manner. They should be in right place just in right time. MS has a wonderful product in its pocket this time, they must have to decide when the time is right. Although they are still publicly walking on a 3 year schedule after Vista, it’s evident that 2009 is the year. Now the question remains that when and how. As it’s speculated, MS is releasing the RC of Windows 7 in this April, most probably on 10th, they will have plenty of time on Q3 to announce the RTM. But then, one must not forget about the market and competition that includes Apple’s Snow Leopard. Another speculation which is related to Snow Leopard assumes that Apple is going to release it on June 8 prompt. Now that’s end of Q2 only, a month before Q3. I think MS should let them go this time first instead of rushing to finish Windows 7 before schedule. It will only worsen matters for Apple. They already announced that Snow Leo is not something new on table, just a bunch of bugfixes and introduction of latest hardware technologies in core of Mac OS X. On the other hand, sheer volume of Windows 7 public beta downloads already indicated that MS successfully fuelled that hype. Release a good product after Snow Leo and let Apple be sandwiched. Apple’s not going to stand a good chance if they don’t introduce something revolutionary and interesting than it did with Leopard.

yh, the rc1 iz out they should bring the rtm soon!
the problem i can foresee for microsoft is that, there appears to be a real danger of
repeating the xp vista mess it got itself into in the last 18months when they launched
vista to the general public.
the problem is that xp still has a vast installed
user base & xp still has a large market share. closely followed by vista, now vista is
slowly gaining some popularity if windows 7 is launched at the end of 2009 or in january
2010 then microsoft are going to repeat the same problem in terms of vista verses win7.
**the people who like vista won't have much incentive or money in a recession
to motivate them to upgrade yet again.
**i have vista home premium and unless
windows 7 is a really big step change & a significantly better os i cannot see why i would
bother with moving to 7 just because microsoft would like me too. i'm sure many users
will think along very similar lines to myself.
i loved vista since day 1 but i love windows 7 since the beta with room toonly inprove
before it's release i am saving to upgrade all my pcs.
