While Microsoft has
only just begun fighting the perception problems surrounding Windows Vista, the company is already thinking and planning way beyond its latest operating system. We all know that
Windows 7 will build
on top of the foundations laid by Vista, and that it will include a
fancy multitouch framework (and a
mysterious new taskbar). According to Microsoft, Windows 7 is
still on track for January 2010, and
in a memo to his employees, CEO Steve Ballmer outlined some interesting new approaches the company might try with Windows 7 - including being just a little more like Apple.
