Good news from the kingdom of Redmond, fellow geeks; we've finally been given a more precise (though still not as precise as one could get) release date for Windows 7, the next operating system to come from Microsoft. Word comes from a PressPass article, and while it may be vague, it's still official.
Bill Veghte, who is senior vice president of the Windows Business at Microsoft, stated, "With early RC testing and extensive partner feedback we've received, Windows 7 is tracking well for holiday availability." This sits well with Acer's prediction (or maybe more than a prediction) that Windows 7 will hit shelves October 23rd, but it was pretty widely accepted that we'll see the new operating system by the end of the year anyway. Whether Acer's date is valid or not, who knows, but it very well could be. |

If Windows 7 is to be launched by December, how about Office 14? Early next year?

Btw, here's two screenshots of Office 14 x64 for you all screenshot-fetish out there:
  Sadly, if you're on x64 system, you can't run Office 2007 x86 and Office 14 (2010) x64 side-by-side  The new theme remind me of the early Office 12 (2007) beta theme, niceee  This post has been edited by FarCry3r: May 17 2009, 12:19 AM |
