sounds like Microsoft is aiming to acquire Windows seven out previously than it promised — at least if you believe the company’s CEO. his fireside chat with Chairman Bill Gates at the D6 conference on May 27, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer acknowledged that Microsoft was aiming to deliver Windows seven in late 2009. those of you who’ve attempted to follow Microsoft’s conflicting ship-date commitments for its next version of the Windows client,
microsoft office x86 key, that is a month or two earlier than Microsoft execs said just yesterday morning (via a Q&A with Microsoft’s Windows Engineering Chief Steven Sinofsky). party line has been that Windows 7 will ship three years from the date that Vista became generally available. And that’s where things have gotten a bit squishy. Microsoft began offering Vista to its business customers in the fall of 2006 and to consumers in January 2007. I asked Microsoft for yet another clarification on
Windows 7’s ship date last night, executives said the difference between Ballmer’s latest pronouncement and Microsoft’s stated timeframe was “really only a matter of a month or two.” Remember; Microsoft’s Windows team’s new mantra is underpromise and overdeliver. It looks better to say you will ship in 2010 and actually deliver in 2009 than it does to say 2009 and have your due date slip into the next year. reason this “month or two” matters is because of the holiday PC sales season. With Vista,

I’d bet the new Windows regime is doing its darndest to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself here. those folks who bet on a 2009 Windows 7 ship date in my ZDNet blogging colleague Ed Bott’s date pool are sitting prettier as of today. speaking of ongoing uncertainties, will developers attending Microsoft’s Professional Developers Conference the last week of October get alpha/Community Technology Preview (CTP) bits of Windows seven? That’s been the rumor for a while now,
