  Inside Windows 7 -- what we know so far
Time: 00:01 EST/05:01 GMT | News Source: APC Mag | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

You’d be forgiven for missing it, but Vista turned a year old last month. November 30, 2006, marked the official launch of Vista to the business community: the first part of an odd two-stage liftoff which was followed two months later, on January 30 2007, by the mainstream consumer launch at which Vista became available to one and all.

(Unfortunately for Microsoft, the number of people who bought Vista was much closer to ‘one’ than ‘all’. The majority of ‘sales’ of Vista have been from Microsoft to its OEM partners for pre-loading on new systems, and even then several companies chose to offer buyers a choice between XP and Vista rather than foist the shiny new OS onto the public. Just because they bought a new PC didn’t mean they wanted to ditch their familiar old OS, especially when they had all the drivers and software and everything worked pretty well on the whole, thanks all the same.)

So now the clock is ticking on Windows 7.0, the successor to Vista (which was officially Windows 6.0, following Microsoft’s lead of counting iterations of the NT-based kernel rather than actual client editions).

"Microsoft has flip-flopped on the cadence of its desktop client over the years, sometimes promising a new OS every 18 months (usually after the arrival of an OS which was years overdue), othertimes two years or more."


Usually????????????? How about once!

Let's go back 10 years -
Windows 98
Windows 2000
Windows XP (in 2002)
Windows Vista (in 2007)

And that once was only because of the Trusted Computing, WPF and Server 2003 codebase "reset" for Vista... which so many people seem to forget. So in reality, Vista only took three years and not five.

#2: Is that some kind of new apologist math? If XP came out in 2002 and Vista in 2007, then Vista took 5 years. End of story. It's irrelevant how many backflips or contortions MS did in the meantime; Vista took 5 years, and it still wasn't ready for release.

I'm not disputing that. I'm disputing the statement "usually after the arrival of an OS which was years overdue". It's not usually when it happens once. Even LatchMath can't twist that.

#4: I wasn't disputing it either. I had no problem with what you said.

Most Windows OS releases were late, but most of them were months late, not years. Vista was the only one I recall being years late. I seem to recall that Windows 98 was supposed to be released in mid to late 97, but was delayed until 98. That wasn't terribly long to wait. Hopefully, Microsoft has learned a lesson about over promising and under delivering.

#7 By 61 (12.108.60.37) at 12/14/2007 1:26:58 PM
Windows 2000 was years late.

#8 By 13998 (62.51.97.7) at 12/14/2007 1:40:45 PM
And Windows 2000 would actually have the functionality of Windows XP.

Microsoft was initially planning to end DOS based OS with the introduction of Windows 2000. Windows 2000 would have all the multimedia functionality of Windows 98.

They release Windows XP as what they had planned Windows 2000 would be.

#7: Really! How do you figure?

#10 By 37 (66.188.104.250) at 12/14/2007 4:06:35 PM
Vista took 5 years, and it still wasn't ready for release.

Every Linux and Mac release also is never ready for release. I guess the companies are consistent.

#9 Because it is called Windows 2000. Obviously, it was supposed to be released in 1996 :)
