Leaked versions of Windows 7 are going around on the Internet, and some lucky chaps have managed to get their hands on it. Initial usage shows that win seven loads in 27 secs. While Win Vista loads in 34secs and XP in 27 secs.

Though I agree with our Twitter friend that the whole Vista Sux thing has been overrated and is more of a perception. But its certain that consumers are sticking to XP and waiting for something better! Most notebook buyers @ SAPL demand a XP installation instead of Vista that comes bundled. So is MS looking to revive Vista or move one?
The enterprise adoption of Vista is as low as 10%, and we sure know that XP did beat Vista for the Olympics games at least. And since almost a year now we are hearing about Windows 7. Touch functionality and faster / more responsive OS is what Microsoft is targeting with Windows 7. Microsoft employees working in Bangalore have had the opportunity to view Win7 pretty closely since a long time and their initial reviews are “WoW”.
On the other hand Microsoft is also keeping the market buzz pretty live, with Windows7 demos to word to device makers to get Win7 certification on time they are certainly working overtime on it! Rumors are that Windows 7 might hit the markets as soon as 2009, but a more realistic and accepted date is sometime in 2010.
With the growing competition from Open source OS’s and Mac, Windows certainly will start to feel the heat if Windows 7 doesn’t click as expected.
