Just as Windows Vista’s gaining ground, Microsoft has officially released some information about next version of Windows operating system. Internally they are calling it Windows 7 and it’s expected to be developed in three years. But before Windows 7, Microsoft plans to release Vista Service Pack 1. Microsoft says Windows 7 is being developed for both consumer and business segments and will come in 32- and 64-bit edition.
According to Mary Jo Foley, Microsoft is also thinking of extending Windows 7 with subscription-based services. Currently Julie Larsen-Green is leading the Windows 7 team whose job includes the end-user interaction design and overall experience for the Windows products after the release of Windows Vista, which will be available in 2007.
