Windows 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.

Dude, when somebody calls me because they have computer problems I'm still likely to see Windows 98. There are still a lot of people running all sorts of old versions of Windows out there.
Don't try to imagine things to be more homogenous then they really are OK?

I don't think people will be confused. People seem to be not confused by new ubuntu or fedora every six months, so they should not be confused by new windows every 2-3 years.

What percentage of the "average joe" community uses Fedora / Ubuntu again?
