Windows 7 "official" date rumor-whoring: no, it's not official
,----[ Quote ]
| Sources at Microsoft tell me that the inside vibe is tense: Windows 7 is a
| do-or-die release, because the perception is that there's a lot riding on it,
| including the redemption of Windows. It is not a release that is going to be
| slavishly tied to an arbitrary timeframe that was determined in 2007.

| So, not only does free software represent a vast amount of effort, but it is
