微软确认Windows 7在2010年发布

发表时间：2008-03-14 09:03:32.0 作者：CBISMB编辑

CBISMB讯，据海外媒体消息，来自微软开发小组的内部消息，微软将于2010年正式发布下一代操作系统Winodws 7。

按照微软的三年开发计划，2007年1月30日发布Windows 7.

不过这并不意味着Windows 7能够在三年后的某一天发布，目前Windows 7的功能设计阶段都还没有结束。再者，微软历来有跳票的习惯，这谁说的清楚，反正提前是不可能的。

Vista发布以后，乐观的似乎只有微软一家。PC产业链，媒体在发布之前都对Vista抱有巨大的期望，希望能够拉动PC的更新换代。不过这个希望在发布后，很快就落空了。Vista庞大的身躯，高标准的硬件，软硬件的兼容性都大大低于期望值。以至于目前媒体和PC厂商都开始对Vista唱反调。

随后，微软公布了Windows 7的开发消息，微软Windows 7操作系统将支持触摸技术，并将比苹果iPhone手机的触摸技术更让人难忘。从目前种种迹象看，微软可能已经决定放弃其WindowsVista操作系统的市场推广战略，而致力于引导现有商业用户从WindowsXP直接升级到该公司定于2010年发布的新款操作系统Windows7。

　　有分析师认为，从技术层面讲，Vista绝对算不上是成功产品。一是Vista占用系统资源非常高，二是应用软件经常崩溃，三是Vista安全性并不像微软所声称的那样好。尼可斯表示，Vista上述三点不足不但路人皆知，而且Vista追捧者对此也心知肚明，只是后者不愿公开承认而已;甚至微软开发团队也明白，Vista并没有市场卖点。

正是Vista的诸多先天不足，才导致微软偷偷放出Windows7的开发消息。从开发进度上看，Windows7应是Vista之后的下一代操作系统。Vista带来的最大负面影响不仅仅在于人们不愿使用Vista，微软最大担心还在于人们是否会继续使用Windows系列操作系统。对于企业用户来说，如果他们对Vista倍感失望后，或许将把目光瞄向Linux或苹果MacOS操作系统。

关于Windows 7的英语报道：

Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 7 is right on track for release in 2010. Concomitantly with the leaked details associated with Windows 7 Milestone 1 dropped by the Redmond company to select partners in January 2008, a potential timetable for the availability of the successor of Windows Vista was also made public. According to the leaked information on the next iteration of the Windows platform, having just reached M1, the final version of Windows 7 was to be wrapped up the end of 2009.

Officially, the Redmond company has only been saying that Windows 7 development would take an estimated three-year timeframe. However, Microsoft always failed to specify the moment when the three-year timeframe started. The debut of Windows 7 development was indeed connected with the release of Windows Vista, but this aspect only contributed to the confusion because the latest Windows client was launched to businesses in November 2006 and to the general public in January 2007. So in this context, the finalization of Windows 7 could just as easily be aimed for the end of 2009, as well as 2010.

Well, this is no longer the case. Microsoft explained that it would deliver Windows 7 three years after the consumers launch of Vista. "We are currently in the planning stages for Windows 7 and development is scoped to three years from Windows Vista Consumer GA. The specific release date will be determined once the company meets its quality bar for release," a Microsoft spokesperson revealed to Softpedia via email.

Windows Vista Consumer GA means nothing more than the general availability of the operating system. In this regard, Microsoft has merely reconfirmed what it has in fact said since mid 2007, that Windows 7 is planned for 2010. Recently, the Redmond company has delivered a build of Windows 7 for review to the U.S. antitrust regulators. This was made public via the "Joint status report on Microsoft's compliance with the final judgments."

I contacted Microsoft and asked whether the new version of Windows 7 was still M1 or if the company has reached Milestone 2 (M2). The leaked timetable for Windows 7 had M1 set to expire in March, and M2 to be delivered in March/April. Outside of the confirmation quoted above, Microsoft did not comment on Windows 7 M1, M2 or the potential antitrust issues that would be generated by the connecting of Windows 7 with Windows Live Wave 3.
