Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said on Friday he expected the new version of Windows operating software, code-named Windows 7, to be released "sometime in the next year or so". The software giant has been aiming to issue more regular updates of the operating system software that powers the majority of the world's personal computers. Nevertheless, Gates' comments suggested that a successor to the Vista program might be released sooner than was generally expected.

Why anyone would want that is beyond me ... Microsoft has never been able to play completely nice even when implementing open standards, so why anyone would be able to rest assured that ZFS in a Microsoft wrapping would still maintain full compatibility with Sun's version is way beyond any reasonable sense!

I think Win 7 isn't intended to be Windows without Vista, but Vista without Windows, if you understand what I mean. New Vista and intended-for-vista features will be kept while old Windows support will be dropped, sort of like MacOS X. You can expect to see .NET, Powershell, GDI+, WinFS(if it is even possible), etc.
Microsoft has an advantage over pre-MacOSX Apple in that it has a working powerful and scalable kernel.
