We recently saw some leaked footage of the upcoming Windows 7. Along with the footage came the rumor that it’s release was being pushed up and could be expected to hit stores sometime in 2009. Well, it turns out that was not accurate. According to an email that WinVistaClub received from Microsoft:
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.
That seems to answer that, we will just have to learn to like Vista or learn to use other alternatives. Lets just hope there are not any delays in the development.
