Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said on Friday he expected the new version of Windows operating software, code-named Windows 7, to be released “sometime in the next year or so”. The software giant has been aiming to issue more regular updates of the operating system software that powers the majority of the world’s personal computers. Nevertheless, Gates’ comments suggested that a successor to the Vista program might be released sooner than was generally expected.

Weren’t we just introduced to the mighty Vista not that long ago? Now they are going to rush to push out Windows 7. Great, but, what’s the rush? The original release date was supposed to be sometime in 2010.

Maybe (ok BIG maybe) this operating system will actually be ready when it’s released. I for one am not going to hold my breath.
