Windows 7, which was previously named Vienna and Blackcomb, is scheduled to be the next major version of Microsoft Windows, a video of which has been available in YouTube in the past couple of days. Well, it is supposed to succeed Windows Vista, which was an apparent failure in marketing and in system reliability. Windows did not comment on the accuracy of the Youtube version, but it is availiable for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The server counterpart which will succeed Windows Server 2008 will be exclusively 64-bit.
Microsoft is maintaining a policy of silence concerning the final version and and aspirations for Windows 7. The first-known build of Windows 7 was identified as a "Milestone 1 (M1) code drop". Features described include Gadget being integrated into Windows Explorer, a Gadget for Windows Media Center, the ability to visually pin and unpin items from the Start Menu and Recycle Bin, improved media features, and a new XPS Viewer. An included feedback tool reportedly lists the ability to store Internet Explorer (IE) settings on a Windows Live account, Windows Presentation Foundation versions of Calculator, Paint and WordPad, and a 10 minute install process. Leaked information from people to whom M1 of Windows 7 was forwarded also provide some insight into the feature set.
Of course, no mention was ever made of the new system’s ability to prevent from being pirated, so we just wait and see. The top wished-for features in a list in Neowin were recently leaked to the public and have popped up at various sites. Accordingly, Microsoft must have developed Windows 7 to suit these wishes.
