Rumour has it that Microsoft is pushing forward Windows 7 for a 2009 release. The first milestone build has supposedly already been shipped to select partners, according to APCMag. They claim to have access to a roadmap for Windows 7, but whether that claim holds any water remains to be seen. The Inq seems to believe APCMag, but that means about as much as a politician's word, so whether this is anything more than a rumour is difficult to say. CNet has more.

I guess we have to wait and see what they do with this new Windows. It makes me wonder why they are announcing this now, since it may slow adoption of Vista even further and dampen the sale of new computers.
Are they just giving up on Vista entirely? Why not further refine Vista? What gives? Vista has problems, but is it that hopeless? More frequent, smaller, incremental improvements might be preferable. Seems strange to me.
I guess time will tell.
