Microsoft comment on Windows 7
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008Todd Bishop at Seattlepi asked Microsoft to comment on when Windows 7 might be available. The answer came in Microsoft-speak:
We are currently in the planning stages for Windows 7 and development is scoped to three years from Windows Vista Consumer GA.
Development is scoped? Incidentally, GA seems to mean “general availability. I continue to marvel at the strange ways that Microsoft finds to contort the English language. I have a number of readers from other countries and I want to assure them that normal Americans do not talk that way.
