Windows 7 Microsoft PDC 2008

Today 'til the 30th.
Who wants to bet that we don't see a "7" leak by the 1st?

I am sure people will leak it. It will be unusable and probably have a time bomb since it is still in development. Why would you want to download a severely buggy version of Vista?

I am (sort of) interested in the Office live services, since it could really help some organizations that struggle with IT costs and can't even run Office 07.

Actually, Windows 7 is quite stable, as they don't add beta features to the OS, so the os is stable, but not feature complete. It's quite useable too it seem, SS uses a Asus netbook with a 1GHz CPU and 1GB RAM, and runs windows 7 on it, and he uses that as his main laptop.

Actually, I've personally used both M1 and M3, and they both run very nicely. Better than Vista, actually.
And as for time-bomb, the smallest time bomb I've ever seen was 90 days, and that's plenty of time to test between leaks.
