Microsoft Corp., in a recent press conference, said Windows 7 is complete. Reps for the company also said that they have sent the final code for its next computer operating system to manufacturers Wednesday, and said it’s still on track for its launch this year.
Mike Angiulo, a general manager in the Windows group, said using Windows 7 will be a lot easier than using their previous OS, Windows Vista, which is a huge disaster.It can be remembers how Microsoft boasted about the number of programs and devices that would work with Vista, but many PC users found their existing software, printers, scanners, cameras and other hardware didn’t function after the switch.
Microsoft said one reason Windows 7 should be an easier launch is that at its core, the new version is a lot like Vista. If a company updated a product to work with Vista in the last few years, it should also work with Windows 7.
October 22 is the target date when Windows 7 will come on new PCs, and will be available for people to buy separately and install on their existing machines.
