Vista successor sooner than you think

It’s no secret that Vista hasn’t lived up to Microsoft expectations, or anyone’s expectations for that matter, and so Microsoft has tried to fix it and now there are multiple sources leaking information to TG Daily about new operating systems. This new OS has been named Windows 7, and a Beta version – so to speak, has been shipped to “key partners” under the name “Milestone 1″ or M1. Eventually, the Windows 7 OS is expected to be released in the second half of 2009.

It was previously thought that Windows 7 would be released in 2010, but Microsoft reportedly moved up that date a few months, however, Microsoft declined to comment on this new date. The M1 OS was available to Microsoft’s partners in x86 and x64 in English.

Microsoft also plans to unveil the M2 in April/May of this year, and M3 in the third quarter. The Beta versions of these are still to be determined by Microsoft. So far, information on Windows 7 includes touchscreen capabilities, and MinWin part of the OS that only takes up 40MB of memory.
