An early Windows 7?
Microsoft has indicated that the targeted release date for Windows 7 is sometime around the end of January, 2010. That date, however, simply reflects a stated policy of a new operating system about three years after Vista’s release to consumers. There has been much speculation that Windows 7 might actually come out in 2009. The latest rumors are talking about June, 2009 and Ed Bott writes:
Andy Patrizio at InternetNews.com has raised some eyebrows with his report that an “internal calendar” at Microsoft has June 3, 2009 as the planned release date for Windows 7.
That actually sounds pretty reasonable to me. Earlier this year, in my Windows 7 release date prediction pool, I picked July 29, 2009 as the date when I expected Windows 7 to go gold…
Because of his frequent interaction with Microsoft, Bott should have a pretty good feel for how Windows 7 is developing so his guess of a release date has weight.
