Windows 7 First Glimpse: October
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Microsoft has announced that the first details and chance to look into Windows 7 will be this coming October at two technical conferences they run. Windows 7 developers will be showing off their work at the Professional Developer’s Conference and the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference.
Based on Microsoft’s current Operating System - Vista, Windows 7 is currently expected to be released in January 2010.
The announcement about the release of Windows 7 details was made on a new Windows 7 blog, which is being written by the engineers who are designing and creating the software. Writing on the blog, Jon Devaan and Steven Sinofsky, two senior engineers on the project, said that Microsoft had been keeping details about Windows 7 fairly quiet as they didn’t want to ‘talk up’ features that may never make it into the finished product.
What we know about Windows 7, is that it will be using core components from Windows Vista and it will have a touch interface, that when coupled with the right type of screen, will allow the system to recognise gestures to complete tasks. For the current technology trends with people purchasing iPhones in droves, these sort of features will be very welcome.
The one hope we here at Cupoftech.com have, is that Microsoft make Windows 7 a lot less bulky than Windows Vista is. Please think of the more advanced end user as well as Joe Bloggs who is using his first computer and appreciates ‘pretty’ interfaces.
