I know they're just at milestone one, it's what I read today. But the fact that Bill Gates himself implied that it was going to be out sooner then we though, is why I posted that. If it was some rumour floating around I wouldn't have posted it haha.
With that said, I'm really curious how 7 is going to pan out. This is the first time I've followed a Windows OS from the start and it's sound promising, especially the fact that the core is only 400MB, down from over a gig from Vista (From what I understand that is)
I hope they support it that long. I do a lot of computer work for friends and family and don't want to have to build them a new rig or something and only be able to get Vista.
