Windows 7, Successor To Vista, May Ship Next Year
Posted by tropin on April 10, 2008
Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said his company might ship . A new version of its Windows operating system as soon as 2009. The news agency Reuters quoted Gates on Friday as saying that Windows 7 may be released “sometime in the next year or so.” That would put thesoftware ahead of the three-year cycle that Microsoft normally works on for OS releases.
The current version of Windows, known as Vista, shipped in January 2007. If Microsoft is moving up the release date for Windows 7, it may be because Vista has received only a lukewarm embrace from home and business computer users. Many have complained about Vista’s hefty resource requirements and lack of compatibility with their existing applications.To experience all of Vista’s features, PC users need a computer with at least a 1-GHz processor, 1 GB of memory, and a 40-GB hard drive. Bycontrast, Windows XP Professional requires only a 300-MHz processor, 128 Mbytes of RAM, and a 1.5-GB disk.
Dissatisfaction with Vista has led Microsoft to extend the life of the older Windows XP OS for longer than originally planned.
