Again you like to make something out of nothing.
The fact Microsoft is working on Windows 7 means very little other
than Microsoft is working on Windows 7.
Work continues on Windows Vista as is proven by regular updates and
the upcoming Service Pack.
Contrary to what you would have us believe, Microsoft does not have to
choose whether to continue developing Windows Vista or work on Windows
7, in fact they obviously do both.
But Microsoft does more.
Development continues on Windows XP as is demonstrated by regular
updates and Service Packs.
So at this time, Microsoft is working on a minimum of 3 consumer
operating systems.
That says nothing about servers and other products.
More obvious FACTS chosen to be ignored probably because they do not
fit a blind agenda.
At the time of previous versions of Windows release, work had already
begun on the next version.
For all practical purposes, work on the next has begun the moment the
previous went Gold.
The reason is simple, many of the developers simply keep developing
from when the old went Gold.
This is not unique to Windows or Microsoft.
This is not even unique to the computer industry.
Just about all manufacturers do it with whatever product they make.
The business that is not working on their next product/version, is in
the last days of their last product.
But a few extreme Microsoft critics ignore that because that goes
against their blind bias.
