january 26th, 2008. Looks like Microsoft is NOT planning to release Windows 7 in 2009. Microsoft's official response, by an email dated 26th January, 2008, states that Windows 7 is still in the planning stage and will take approximately 3 years to develop. The following is the extract of the mail: Q. What is the expected timeline for the availability of Windows 7?A. We are currently in the planning stages for Windows 7 and expect it will take approximately 3 years to develop. The specific release date will be determined once the company meets its quality bar for release.Q. Has Windows 7 been released to manufacturing?A. We’re continuing to work with our partners on the development of Windows 7, and are not sharing any additional information at this time.Q. Is the schedule for Windows 7 being moved up due to poor Windows Vista sales?A. We’re not sharing additional information on Windows 7 at this time. However, we’re confident that many organizations are recognizing the value in Windows Vista. Of note, sales of Windows Vista licenses have now passed 100 million. In addition, Windows Vista is being adopted by businesses at a rate that is similar to past releases. In the business market there are early, mainstream and late adopters, with the majority of businesses falling into the category of mainstream. We’re seeing positive indicators that we’re already starting to move from the early adoption phase into the mainstream, and that more and more businesses are beginning their planning and deployment of Windows Vista.
Die Auslieferung erfolgt in Etappen. "Wave 0" geht jetzt bereits an große PC-Hersteller, auch die Produktion neuer Vista-Packungen mit integriertem SP1 beginnt umgehend. Ab Mitte März soll das SP1 dann im Download-Center auftauchen, wo man es manuell herunterladen kann. Ab Mitte April liefert Microsoft das SP1 dann als automatisches Update aus. Im gleichen Monat soll auch die Auslieferung der erweiterten Version für alle Sprachen beginnen.
Death of a laptop:The laptop computer on the other hand went a little smoother on the SP1 upgrade and worked fine for about two hours until I installed the latest DivX codec and the whole machine just locked up after Vista popped up the Windows experience feedback prompt. Now this laptop locks up the entire computer within 15 seconds of logging in and there’s no way I even have time to run system restore to see if I can get it to the state right after I installed SP1. All I see is a locked up Vista screen and the laptop is as useful as a bookend. It is possible that this could be a hardware issue but the laptop was working fine up until this point. [UPDATE 3:55PM - It appears to be most likely a hardware issue with this specific IBM ThinkPad T60 laptop]
Near death with desktop computer:The desktop computer almost didn’t make the upgrade but finally managed to pull itself out of the gates of hell. The SP1 upgrade on both computers took more than an hour to install along with multiple reboots. When the desktop system finally allowed me to log in, it went in to non-aero mode and it refused to let me flip in to aero. The sound was temporarily messed up but I managed to get it working after I enabled the sound. 5 minutes after I logged in the Windows SP1 upgrade finally told me it was finished which seems strange since you would think the user should be locked out until everything was done. Since I couldn’t get aero running I figured I’d try rebooting but the next reboot just seemed to hang on a black screen with a working mouse pointer for 5 minutes so I tried rebooting again. On that last reboot everything finally came up and I breathed a sigh of relief. [UPDATE 3:55PM - Microsoft says they are working with the driver developers on this to smooth out the install process]
Irgendwie klar. MS kann wieder nicht die Finger von anderen Betriebssystemen lassen.Xp tötet ja auch schon z. B. Grub.Ich denke das mal wieder folgende Reihenfolge nötig ist. Erst Vista dann Debian u.s.w.
