Microsoft announced that they are releasing details of Windows 7 on the upcoming conferences — Professional Developers Conference and Windows Hardware Engineering Conference. It is said that the new operating system uses the core of Windows Vista and improving on touch interface and the ability to recognize gestures for task operations. It is believed that the new operating system is going to be released on January of 2010.
I think Microsoft is being to cautious on their marketing of the successor to Windows Vista because they would not want consumers to skip Vista and upgrade straight to Windows 7. Microsoft is using Windows 7 to excite consumers and use that excitement to convince them to upgrade to Vista which is a safer and better upgrade path than XP - Windows 7.
I think Microsoft should not immediately jump from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Vista is not so old. Althougt it did not get so popular until now, but I think it can be a good replace for older operating systems. The only problem is that it does not support some older softwares that most of people use. Something such as Service Pack 1 could help to solve this problem.
