About this tag
Windows 6.1 refers to an internal build version of Windows that was discussed during the development of Windows 7. In forum threads, users speculated about a possible interim release called Windows 6.1, which would be a minor update to Windows Vista, before the full Windows 7 launch. Some posts mention leaked builds such as 6.1.7137 and 6.1.7231, which were early versions of Windows 7. The tag covers discussions about build numbers, release timelines, and the relationship between Windows 6.1 and Windows 7. Topics include leaked VHD files, expected release dates, and user opinions on Microsoft's strategy to address Vista's unpopularity with a quicker update.

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.
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?
