Windows could get early release for good behavior

While we weren't really expecting Microosft to release the successor to Windows Vista until 2010, TG Daily is reporting that Windows 7 could be on track for a 2009 release. Considering how poorly Windows Vista has been received by many circles, we're guessing the news could be a mixed blessing for Microsoft.

On the one hand, it's nice to know there's something new and hopefully more stable on the horizon. On the other hand, many individuals and businesses that may be holding off on "upgrading" to Vista might decide to skip the current generation of Windows altogether.

Microsoft is not officially confirming or denying TG Daily's report, but according to TG Daily, some parties have already received an early build of the operating system

Shocked

Lets hope!

What puzzles me is that Microsoft does tons of testing, months and months of Beta testing, with average people all over .... how did Vista get approval from all of those testers??? How could they possibly have considered it ready for the public?? They must all have a mean streak in them.

I hope M$ doesn't use the same people to test Windows 7 .... Crying or Very sad

M$ actually uses its customers to test its products. It sells you an application then fixes the bugs as they are reported. So the customers are the Alpha and Beta testers and they get to pay for that privilege...

Don't think for a minute just because you pay for a product that you are buying quality. M$ has been proving that is not always the case for a very long time. If you look around, there are more and more free applications that are better than the paid versions...
