    Windows 7 When will windows 7 come out?

    So, I thought I'd just make a thread about when people think Windows 7 will come out. I think that in Q2 of 2009, Windows 6.1 will come out, and then in around Q3 of 2010, Windows 7 will come out.

    Windows 7 Windows 7 to come out in 2011, but Windows 6.1 in a year?

    From what I've seen, it seems like Windows 7 could be pushed back to 2010 or 2011, but that there will be an intern release, Windows 6.1. It sort of makes sense, as many people hate Vista, so they want to get a new version out as soon as possible. So what do you think?
