Microsoft has recently created a brand new blog with the topic of Windows 7. their first post was on the 14th and we can anticipate more information about Windows 7. However, they have learned from Vista, and so they are being more cautious in releasing details of their new OS.
In their second post, they wrote,
"We, as a team, definitely learned some lessons about “disclosure” and how we can all too easily get ahead of ourselves in talking about features before our understanding of them is solid. Our intent with Windows 7 and the pre-release communication is to make sure that we have a reasonable degree of confidence in what we talk about when we do talk. Again, top of mind for us is the responsibility we feel to make sure we are not stressing priorities, churning resource allocations, or causing strategic confusion among the tens of thousands of partners and customers who care deeply and have much invested in the evolution of Windows.
As Vista required significant hardware investments to run it and also had many problems when first released, Windows 7 promises to deliver a much improved Vista. They will no doubt fix all or at least most of the problems that happened with Vista. By the time Windows 7 finally comes out, the hardware world will have greatly improved and will likely be able to meet with the demands of their Windows 7 Project. For everyone who held out on buying Vista, it's only a year and a half away from a (hopefully) much better OS.
