Forget Vista, I'm Skipping to Windows 7
Wondering what the
next
release of Windows for the desktop will look like? So am I, and so -- I
imagine -- are the developers themselves.
But here's what we do know: It already has a code-name, "Windows 7"
(Windows 95 was 4, 98 was 5 and XP was 6), it's expected to ship in 2010, and
it will run in 32 or 64 bits. Microsoft is also kicking around the idea of selling
it on a subscription basis.
Do you really want to rent your OS? And should Redmond bite the bullet and
go pure 64-bit? Let us know at dbarney@redmondmag.com.
