Nothing better than a biased article to further an agenda.
The fact windows 7 is coming means no more than windows 7 is coming.
Development of windows 7 started in earnest the moment Windows vista
went gold.
Windows XP development began similarly with similar publicity early in
the development cycle.
Why some may ask was development starting so soon?
The same reason the next operating system is always in development.
This is nothing new with Windows Vista, it has been true as other
operating systems have been released.
This information is common knowledge for those wanting to know just as
it has been with previous operating systems.
this is nothing new with windows Vista as is has happened before.
However some choose to read what if often nonexistent when the
conclusion suits their agenda, regardless the facts that this has been
typical in the past and will probably be typical in the future.
Perhaps you only learned of the development of Windows XP shortly
before release, but many including those that follow operating systems
new a few years in advance and have seen this pattern several times
before.
Find a product manufacturer not working on their next product and you
will see a manufacturer in their last days of their last product.
