Windows 7

Windows Mesa, formerly known as Vienna and BlackComb, is supposed to be Microsoft's next OS. It is expected to be the successor of the recent Windows Vista which released a few months ago. Microsoft has confirmed that it will take at least 3 years for it to release, meaning 2010 or later. According to a tech magazine, work on it began right after the release of Vista. On July 20,2007, it was revealed that the OS will be known as Windows 7 or Mesa.

After Windows NT,95,98,2000,2003,XP and Vista, this will be the latest and best OS that Microsoft has released. We'll find out how good it is after it has truly released though!

The first screenshot that was released is looking great, but looks is not all that matters! The users of Windows Vista complained about a lot of security problems at the beginning, which has now been taken care off. The Aero effect, that Vista offers, was one thing that fascinated the users the most. But now, since Stardock's WindowBlind has look-alike skins, users prefer it. Anyways, Vista is quite old news now!

Microsoft customers expect much more out of Mesa, now that Vista hasn't had much impact. I, being one of them, hope so too!

According to TG Daily article of January 16, 2008, the Milestone 2 (M2) code drop was at that time scheduled for April or May of 2008. User interface appearance changes are expected to appear in later builds of Windows 7.

Milestone 3 (M3) is listed as coming in the third quarter, with the release to manufacturing in the second half of 2009. The release dates of a beta version and a release candidate are "to be determined".

Bill Gates commented in a press conference in April 2008 that a new version would come "in the next year or so". According to additional clarification by Microsoft, he was only referring to availability of alpha or beta versions of Windows 7.
