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.

Meaning they will pull programmers from the Win7 team to work on the ZunePhone which will delay the release of Win7 by six months and make it an even bigger POS?
No, they will bring the next version of .NET one and a half years than the rest of the world, and will only release it in a 64-bit version. Oh wait...
(Of course, they will screw ISVs by dropping C/C++ APIs for 64-bit versions, and force them to use the Objec^W^W^W^W^W C# for UI-ish code.)
Ok, I have to admit, OS X does have beautiful frameworks
