I;ve gotten plenty of concerns from Windows people this week about TG Every day;s tale that Microsoft is operating early with Windows seven and has delivered an early develop to unnamed parties exterior with the organization.Here;s what I do know and don;t.First off, Microsoft officially is refusing to say something at all about Windows 7. They aren;t confirming,
Office 2010 Standard Activation, aren;t denying. They just aren;t speaking about it. Period. They want to talk about Windows Vista and — to a much lesser extent — Vista Service Pack (SP) 1. (And they definitely don;t need to speak about “Shipping Seven,” the blog from someone allegedly working on the Windows seven team.)On Channel 9, I saw one Microsoft employee insist that Windows 7 is still in the planning phase — implying that it;s only slideware at this point. But being in planning doesn;t mean that early builds do not exist. In fact, I have heard a number of Microsoft folks have Windows seven running on their systems. Is this the alleged M1 (Milestone 1) create mentioned in TG Daily;s tale? I don;t know.I have not (yet) found folks exterior of Microsoft who claim to have a create of Windows 7. Does this mean such a construct doesn;t exist? No. Top OEMs tend to see pretty early builds of new versions of Windows,
Microsoft Office 2010, so if a Windows seven develop is available, I bet some PC makers have seen it.Could Windows seven ship before Microsoft;s publicly stated date of 2010? Definitely. In fact, I will almost be surprised if it doesn;t, using the new Windows motto of under-promise and over-deliver.When we initial heard Microsoft was telling its salesforce that Windows 7 was going to be a 2010 deliverable, I figured the new Windows engineering regime had built some padding into that timeline so as not to face another Vista slip-date scenario. Plus, what better way to convince customers on the fence about upgrading to Vista or waiting for the next Windows build that they should make the move? (”Do you really wish to wait at least three more years?”)(And remember,
Office Home And Business 2010 produit cl��, before we heard the 2010 date, the Windows team had said publicly that it was on an every single two-year release schedule. Microsoft shipped Vista in 2007. TG Daily says the new target is second half of 2009. If Microsoft is targeting holiday 2009, it would have to release to manufacturing Windows seven in the late summer/early fall,
Office 2010 X86 Key, in order for PC makers to get it preloaded on new PCs in time.)Windows 7 is unlikely to include major architectural changes, Microsoft officials have said, making it even more likely to ship sooner rather than later.What;s your bet? Will Windows seven hit in 2009? And if it does,
Microsoft Office 2010 Home And Student Product Key, will that impact your Vista upgrade plans (either positively or negatively)?
