Windows 7 beta coming in December

Darius Chang | Sep 12, 2008

Unlike Vista, which was launched almost five years after the previous Windows XP, the next-generation operating system may be heading our way sooner than we think. According to ZDNet, Microsoft will be showcase Windows 7 at the Professional Developers Conference and Windows Hardware Engineering Conference, with beta testing scheduled for mid-December.

So what do we have to look forward to in the next-gen operating system? Besides better searches, file handling and compatibility, there are rumors that touch technology will feature heavily in this edition. In any case, we look forward to seeing what magic the Redmond company can produce now that the iconic Bill Gates is no longer at the helm.

I bet this is a typographical error: Microsoft will BE showcase Windows 7 at the Professional Developers... The word "BE" should be deleted or you may opt to change "SHOWCASE" to "showcasing instead." Back to the topic: I'm a bit eager to see what's in store for us in this upcoming project. I hope it gets even better than Vista.

I am so excited about $NEXT_VERSION of Windows. It will go beyond just solving all of the problems with $CURRENT_VERSION, it will be an entirely new paradigm. Forget about security problems, those are all fixed in $NEXT_VERSION. And they’re finally ridding themselves of $ANCIENT_LEGACY_STUFF. Also, there’ll be $DATABASE_FILESYSTEM. It’ll be awesome! I wonder how $NEXT_VERSION will compare to $NEXT_NEXT_VERSION. I'm sure I've read this exact story every few years since 1994. tinyurl.com...
