The Windows Vista successor formerly known as ‘Vienna’ is now codenamed ‘Windows 7′. According to Seattle PI’s Todd Bishop, the Microsoft secret sales meeting revealed that ‘Windows 7′ is “due out in approximately three years.” and “Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has vowed that the company will never again take so long to develop a new Windows version as it did to produce Windows Vista.”

This would put it at 2010. Well, they’re already behind apparently since Microsoft ’s executive vice president of development Ben Fathi said this in February: “You can think roughly two, two-and-a-half years is a reasonable time frame that our partners can depend on and can work with.” A release date change from two to three years? In only 5 months? I think we can count on more pushback for this OS too.
