Windows 7 arriving next year?
Mikey 2 commentsHearing this news reported by Engadget only ads more credibility to the notion that Windows Vista is the new Windows Me. Engadget say that Bill Gates told investors that Windows 7 will come "in the next year" and that he's "super-enthused" about it.
The article is a little light on details - like where they sourced the information for example. But if that is true, we should start seeing a beta very soon unless Gates meant the beta will arrive in the next year. In any event it still an awfully short time between Windows versions, and if I am not mistaken it will be the shortest in Microsoft's history (I'm not 100% certain on that).

Sunday 6th April 2008 | 08:49 PMI am becoming more and more agnostic about Windows. On one hand, it has features I love but on the other, MS are making it less and less sensible. Vista has seriously tried my patience on several occasions and I don't trust Microsoft with a subscription based model for Windows 7 (just ask any X Box Live owner what happens to their old games if they get a new box).
Plus, KDE 4 is truly fantastic and will start to turn some heads, once people start to see it.
