Let Me guess Windows 7 won't be compatible with XP or Vista and We'll need new software and maybe new hardware. XP x64 is good enough for Me.

Exactly what is the appeal--particularly to businesses--of releasing new OS builds more than a three-to-five year schedule? Does anyone really think businesses want to upgrade faster than that? The consumer market is one thing--hell, look at the Macolytes buying point releases every year for $129--but I don't see the demand for greater OS build releases in business.

I recommend for the Microsoft CEO to get back all the 486dx2 with 64 MB RAM machines they used 20 years ago, and put the programmers to release a smocking fast OS on them. If they can not, hire somebody who can.

Hmm, what struck me most was the 2010 part of the title. "Twenty-Ten" would be a good year to stick on any product. Sounds so futuristic.

I really could have sworn that back in 05/06, MS was saying they were going to move to smaller, incremental releases on a closer to 18 month cycle once Vista was released.

Not saying 18 months vs 36 is good or bad, just that was what they were originally saying.
