Windows 7 is ready!
Microsoft Corp's next version of the Windows operating system is almost ready for prime time. The CEO announced that a nearly final “beta” test version of Windows 7 will be available from Friday for regular PC users to download and tinker with. The new operating system -- which could be available for purchase on PCs within a year -- uses much of the same underlying technology as its predecessor, the much-maligned Vista. But Windows 7 aims to resolve many problems PC users had with Vista. For instance, Microsoft pledges to make it easier to install peripheral devices and to have the software pump out fewer annoying warnings and notifications. I hope Microsoft does not annoy us this time !
