You have a BIG SURPRISE coming...
mikeholli 23rd May 2008
Larry Dignan, Mary Jo Foley,and Ed Bott You have a big surprise coming if you think the release date for Windows 7 will happen before fall of 2010. Microsoft is at a fix-it stage with Vista, which can only mean Vista SE, All the coding done with Vista would be a waste to toss out and bring in Windows 7 so early on. Rumors out of Remmond, Wa. Wednesday May 21th at a closed door meeting are saying that Vista is just WHAT the public wants in a way of a Operating System, and it will take a little re-tooling to get it so that it will fit both the consumer and corporate side to make each camp happy. SE is currently being tooled to fix the major backward compatibility problems facing Vista. As well as it has been said at several of these closed door meeting already Vista was released WAY to soon. XP should of had SP3 out much earlier to get it in gear. I can't say much more on this subject, but be looking for Vista SE in the very near future.
