You know, we should have paid a little closer attention to Microsofts decision yesterday to extend Windows XP sales to "June 2010 or one year after the general availability of Windows 7" -- if the company was really planning on shipping Windows 7 in 2010, that first date doesnt make a lot of sense unless the plan is to ship Windows 7 much, much earlier. And hey -- whats Bill Gates doing telling investors this afternoon that Windows 7 will come "in the next year" and that hes "super-enthused" about it? As far as we know, the official Windows 7 timeline hasnt changed, so Bill might just talking about beta versions, but somethings clearly up Windows-wise in Redmond -- perhaps Vistas wow is not long for this now.
