Windows Industry analysts differ on the importance of shipping Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system before the 2009 holidays, but agree that the release of the OS needs to be swift and smooth to avoid the sins of Vista's past.

A good and stable platform is great for both users and developers. I'd like Vista to be around for as long as XP has.


The stable platform is already there with Vista. If Windows 7 manage to accomplish what MS is aiming for and the keepy the same hardware requirements and (almost) total compatibility, not much will be broken and the transition will be very smooth.
