Windows 7, the successor to Microsoft’s PC operating system Windows Vista, is to feature touch-screen technology, a Microsoft team member has stated. Previously codenamed Blackcomb and Vienna, Windows 7 will also, according to Bill Gates, include “a pervasive typing line that will recognise the sentence that [the user is] typing in”.
Several industry sources have confirmed to TG Daily that a very early version of Windows 7, previously code-named Blackcomb Vienna, already has been shipped to “key partners” as a “Milestone 1” (M1) code drop for validation purposes. A roadmap received by TG Daily indicates that the new operating system will be introduced in the second half of 2009.
This comes as slightly surprising news. A recent poll conducted by a large technology solutions provider shows that Vista may not be as unpopular in the business market as once thought. CDW corporation surveyed 772 IT decision makers and Vista adoption is gaining traction in the mainstream business market.
