Ballmer was asked why Windows 7 is considered a major release instead of just the second rev of Vista. His reply: <STRONG>“It’s not minor because it’s a lot more work than a minor release. It’s a major release.” </STRONG></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=10464"><P>Ballmer also noted that Windows 7 will improve the operating system shell. <STRONG>“Windows 7 will be Vista, but a lot better,”</STRONG> he said, noting cleanness of user interface. Is this fit and finish improvement? Gartner analysts kept referring to Windows 7 as a release candidate 2.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=10464"><P>Another key question: Given the economic environment, why upgrade to Vista?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=10464"><P><STRONG>“If people want to wait they really can,”</STRONG> said Ballmer. “But I’d definitely deploy Vista.” He noted that most IT buyers upgrade the OS when they deploy new machines.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B1FBB81C-F300-412C-A00D-8EBACEAD3628/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
