Windows 7. A few months ago i read a blog entry on this and i really thought why am i doing this this is clearly a fake. Vista was just released there is no way they could be leaking information to the web on their new os in development. However it does seem it was all true Windows 7 is real. Why such an odd name, I’m currently uncertain.

Now windows 7 is apparently not only for the desktop and notebooks but also a flavour for the new boombing computing category knowns as umpc’s (please see gizmodo’s articile which defines the category of portable computing to get a better understanding of a umpc). The umpc’s will also feature multitouch capabilities (insert oohs and ahhhs here). The only thing that would make this a triple threat thriller for ms is releasing all of them at the same time.. but where is the third you ask, because so far i’ve talked about windows 7 desktop and notebook edition, umpc edition and nothing else. Well the third would be non other than windows mobile 7. If they can market, promote and launch with a proper campaign around the 3 things i’m sure they’ll rack up a shit load of sales just off the hype alone. I know Steve jobs could do it.
