Windows 7 (formerly Codenamed Blackcomb, then Vienna) is a future version of Microsoft Windows . It is expected to be the successor to Windows Vista . Microsoft has confirmed that the planned development time frame is at least three years, meaning it will be released in 2010 or later.1 According to technology magazine "Smart Computing In Plain English", work on it began immediately following the release of Windows Vista. On July 20 , 2007 , it was revealed that the Operating System is known internally at Microsoft as version "7".2 Microsoft has refrained from discussing the details about Windows 7 publicly as they focus on the release and marketing of Windows Vista,3 though some early details of various core operating system features have emerged at developer conferences such as Windows Hardware Engineering Conference in 2006 . FOCUS On February 9 2007 , Microsoft's Ben Fathi claimed that the focus on the operating system was still being worked out, and could merely hint at some possibilities: Bill Gates , in an interview with Newsweek , also suggested that the next version of Windows would "be more user-centric."4 When asked to clarify what he meant, Gates said: OTHER FEATURES Another feature mentioned by Bill Gates is "a pervasive typing line that will recognize the sentence that user is typing in." The implications of this could be as simple as a "complete as you type" function as found in most modern search engines, (e.g. Google Suggest ) or as complex as being able to give verbal commands to the PC without any concern for syntax.5 BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY The client versions of Windows 7 will ship in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.6 Any server version of Windows 7, however, will exclusively be in 64-bit.7 Unlike the 64-bit versions (including all server versions), the 32-bit client versions will be backward compatible with 16-bit Windows and MS-DOS applications.
