An executive said on Monday that Microsoft Corp is on track to release its new Windows 7 operating system for for the 2009 holiday shopping season.
The world's largest software company has so far been vague on specifying the timing of its new operating system,
wary of disappointing customers. But it has broadly targeted the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
"Windows 7 is tracking well for holiday availability," Bill Veghte, senior vice president of Microsoft's Windows
business said at an event on Monday, citing good test results on the early version of the system released to developers
and the public over the past few weeks.
Last month, Microsoft said Windows 7 was on track for launch in fiscal 2010, which could mean as early as July this year.

Look's nice, I do agree it raises the bar for OS's. But I think that Vista is also a big competitor to Leopard. I'm not gonna rush to get this right away because from what i can see there are only a handful of new features at the moment.

This product looks to be a big 'Mac - Leopard' competitor.
Will this change the current Windows program that many people have or do you need to purchase it and replace it yourself
you will proably have to purchase it your self.
Windows has been nothing but trouble for me lately.
