Microsoft officials are expected to set the stage for the first public test build of the operating system, known as the "Windows Technical Preview for Enterprise." As sources have said, this preview, expected to be released by early October, won't be a developer preview and it won't include all of the features Microsoft is building into its next version of Windows. It will, however, be aimed at showing business users who are running Windows XP, Windows Vista and/or Windows 7 that Threshold is something they should want instead of fear.
Microsoft is focusing on making Threshold more palatable to business users who are more likely to rely on mice and keyboards, and who want and need to use their Win32 apps. The Softies need to demonstrate that Threshold will still allow them to be productive with relatively little readjustment
