The New OS's Are Coming

The war drums are starting to beat in Redmond and Cupertino, as Microsoft and Apple ready their next generation operating systems; Windows 7 and Snow Leopard respectively.  Both will be released this fall with the Snow Leopard scheduled to pounce in September and Win 7 dropping 10/22.

Many have already taken a look at Windows 7 via the betas or the release candidate, the latter is still available for at least a few more days. I’ve been using Windows 7 on both of my laptops since late April. Other than some compatibility issues with older and oddball pieces of software, it’s been smooth sailing. Considering how well Windows Vista, the previous client operating system Microsoft released, went over, that’s saying something.

I was also fortunate enough to be included among the select group of beta testers who were able to certify on Windows 7 during this introductory period, so it's safe to say I've had the chance to get to know the OS as well as anyone outside of Microsoft.
