Microsoft Windows 7 to Hit Market in October

Posted June 03, 2009 8:46 AM

From NYT > Technology:

Microsoft Corp said on Tuesday its new Windows 7 operating system will be generally available on October 22, well ahead of its original schedule and in time for the holiday shopping season. The new operating system, which will replace the unpopular Vista, was originally planned for roll-out at the beginning of next year, but Microsoft confirmed last month that it would hit the market in time for the year's busiest buying period.

"Microsoft Windows 7 to Hit Market..."

Officers investigating the horrific scene say that The Market could not swerve in time to avoid the collision.

The report also states that no charges are pending against Windows 7 and it is not wanted by law enforcement - or anyone else - at this time.

...hmmm, wonder which one will best describe the new Windows 7?

1) same old BUGS with new enhanced features?

2) new, improved BUGS with unknown features?

3) improved, old BUGS with new known dis-features?

4) 64K-byte performance on a 640Giga-byte dual processor machine?

5) speed-of-light BUGS and escargo-level results?
