The first beta version of Windows 7 has made a surprise public appearance. The operating system appears to be available on the Internet via file-sharing utilities like BitTorrent — apparently without the approval of Microsoft. Microsoft released pre-beta code of the OS to developers at its recent Professional Developers Conference held at the end of October. A final version of Windows 7 is expected to roll out at the end of 2009. The first beta release is officially scheduled to become available in early 2009, according to a Microsoft spokesperson.
"apparently without the approval of Microsoft."
Whatever.
From what I have read, and Steve Balmer has said, Windows Vista SP2, I mean Windows 7, is just a rehash of Vista.
I'm sure the slow skulking of Vista throughout the enterprise would have nothing to do with "someone" "leaking" Windows 7. Or that the lack of enthusiasm for the crappy OS, evidenced by the stupid Vista commercials, would have someone at Microsoft leak the OS to try and get some headlines.
As the numbers proclaim, no one wants Vista. too bad Microsoft is not going to give you support for an OS you like, and force you to use one you don't.
Monopolies, ain't they grand?!
