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.

I don't believe the PCI sig has finalized PCI-E IOV (I\O Virtualization) yet. I know it is close, I wouldn't expect to see shipping solutions until later this year and then it will be for the enterprise market. The initial focus will be for 10Gig-E and Fibre Channel cards and a lot of focus on multi-root pci to have a truly high end virtualization solution without the I\O penalties. NetXen is shipping a 10Gig-E future proof card and they have an excellent white paper on PCI-E IOV and Multi-Root PCI-E
