—

One of Windows 7's biggest unknowns has been its release date; will it be late 2009 or will it be early 2010? A single sentence on an Microsoft website is the latest indication that Windows 7 will be here sooner rather than later. Hopefully, Microsoft won't rush Windows 7 to meet an arbitrary ...

The company cannot afford for Windows 7's quality to be compromised just to hit a deadline. Though Microsoft's customers clearly won't tolerate a kind of Duke Nukem Forever ...
