Earlier today, OSNews
ran a story on a presentation held by Microsoft's Eric Traut, the man responsible for the 200 or so kernel and virtualisation engineers working at the company. Eric Traut is also the man who wrote the binary translation engine for in the earlier PowerPC versions of VirtualPC (interestingly, this engine is now used to run XBox 1 [x86] games on the XBox 360 [PowerPC]) - in other words, he knows what he is talking about when it comes to kernel engineering and virtualisation. His presentation was a very interesting thing to watch, and it offered a little bit more insight into Windows 7, the codename for the successor to Windows Vista, planned for 2010.

The context was about any version of Windows shipping on time. The question was asked and answered. Stop trying to move the goalpost.
This is a continuation of changes made during the Vista dev cycle. That was the major rethink and overhaul for the near future. If you expect Seven to be an entirely new base, you're going to be disappointed.
