Windows 7 to hit the stands by December 2009!!

A few days back we had the release of Windows 7 Release Candidate 1 for the mass public. Now, we have fresh indication from Microsoft that Windows 7 is expected to be released in December this year since MS claims that Win 7 development is "on track". Bill Veghte, who is a senior VP for Microsoft's Windows Business Notes division, has said in a recent interview that Microsoft Windows 7 is expected it to hit shelves during the holiday season of 2009 itself!!.

One thing most users want and are anticipating is that Windows 7 aims to cover up all the loopholes and glitches that became a frequent part of the Vista package. It was actually two years back that Vista was officially launched in the market, but it seems to have had a very dismal performance.

I, for one, always attributed Windows Vista to Windows Millennium that was launched in 2000 which was such a big failure--later, we had Windows XP that became a quick hit. In a similar manner, as if to say that history repeats itself, Vista may have been a failure but we will have a better OS in Win 7.

There's a lot of industry pressure and anticipation for Microsoft to release Windows 7 much earlier than the actual anticipated date of July 2010. On the contrary, we see on many blogs that Microsoft is taking a lot of care by not doing a rushed job this time--after the bad experience with Vista.

The Release Candidate 1 of Windows 7 was made available on May 5 and will expire in July 2010. It's obvious that Microsoft will roll out a second Release Candidate before the final release in December, and it's going to be packed with even more features.

So would you folks pick up a Windows 7 for Christmas if it's on shelves?
