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.

<blockquote>Linux will be making inroads as wine application support improves, and vendors jump on board to provide at the very least, support for their applications running through wine.

I don't think wine is the future of linux. Linux should get rid of wine all together. I mean it's cool and all to get some win native app to launch on linux, but thats not what developers should strive too. Why should linux try and look and do the same as windows? What makes it different then?
The thing is, there is an open source alternative to (almost) any windows based application, and more and more are coming and getting better with each release. What we need to do, is teach users they have options, and don't just blindly fall for the 'you gotta buy win too' trick.
edit: why does 'blockquote' look great in preview and won't even show it when published?
