news.cnet.com — In a technical session on Thursday afternoon, Microsoft provided the clearest public indication that it is planning on having Windows 7 ship around mid-year 2009, in time to be on machines that ship for the 2009 holiday buying season. "Definitely the holiday focus is going to be on 7," says Microsoft director Doug Howe.

Yes.If they had been smart,they would have just stayed with XP and rolled updates and upgrades,but charged for some of them,like new interfaces,etc.

I guess that makes sense. It's kind of like when Win98SE was the bees' knees, and no one wanted to switch to WinME because it was bloated and unstable. The next release AFTER winME (win2k or XP, take your pick) was successful, quick, and stable. History repeats itself, I think.

Microsoft has change, it's not the same Microsoft of years ago.

There will be 2 ubuntu releases by then and thats if MS actually makes the ship date.

MS doesn't branch Operating Systems anymore. This is how they can release them in such a short time frame now. Vista SP1, Server 2008, & Windows 7 all use the same Kernel & code base. They refine & update the core all at once and use it in all the projects. So they no longer have problems developing a piece of technology and then have to make it work with everything else.

You seem to care, since you're commenting.

Hey, it's fine to bash them over Vista, but when they do something right you should be positive about it.
