Adios Vista! Windows 7 On The Horizon

Ghoulish Delight · 10-29-2008, 09:16 AM

I missed a chance at a preview of Windows 7 when other coworkers were chosen to attend a conference of sorts at Microsoft. But from what I understand, it's little more than Vista SP2. I imagine they've thrown a couple "new features" in there as well to justify selling it as it's own OS, but it's the same OS with a host of fixes.

What I haven't heard is if they'll be releasing a SP2 (sans new features) for Vista. That would be intensely lame of them to have made all of those fixes, which would be applicable to Vista, and not make them available.

And if you take the time to think about it some marketing guy must have pulled '7' out of his butt.
