Windows 7不會晚于明年6月公開發(fā)售？

Win7之家（ www.airtaxifl.com）：Windows 7不會晚于明年6月公開發(fā)售？

 從Windows 7剛剛透露出消息到現(xiàn)在，關于Windows 7的發(fā)布時間，已經有了太多版本的推測。有說2009年7月的，有說2009年年底的，也有說2010年初的，而在我看來，Windows 7的發(fā)布時間比大多數(shù)人想象中的要早得多。下面，我也來對Windows 7進行一些具體的猜測。

現(xiàn)在大家都知道微軟將會在2009年1月時公開發(fā)布Windows 7的Beta版本，而這也將是唯一的Beta版本，在此之后，就輪到Windows 7 RC了，再后就是最終正式版了。我認為Windows 7最早會在明年4月發(fā)布，與Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2)保持同步。因為事實上，Windows 7和SP2共享了不少代碼。另外，Windows 7的公開發(fā)售日期不會晚于明年6月。

根據(jù)我的理解，Vista SP2和Windows 7將會是軟硬件兼容性的基礎，因此，Vista SP2和Windows 7共享了部分代碼，這樣一來，只要是SP2上能用的軟件和設備，就肯定可以在Windows 7中運行。

小編：從該作者的文章中看來，他的推測還是很有道理的，但現(xiàn)在關于這個發(fā)布時間的版本實在太多，而微軟的跳票習慣又是出了名的，現(xiàn)在我們能做的也只有等待了，幸虧還時不時地有個泄露版本可以嘗嘗鮮。

附部分原文：

I’ll be publishing this in Short Takes later this morning, but I thought it would be of interest here in the blog as well:

    There's been a lot of speculation about when Microsoft would ship Windows 7, its eagerly awaited follow-up to Windows Vista. So far, I've suggested that the company would ship Windows 7 far earlier than most people thought. But now I'm ready to make a number of more specific predictions myself, and add to the speculation.

    It's pretty widely known that Microsoft will ship a beta release (and a public one at that) of Windows 7 in January. This beta will be the only beta and it will be followed by a single release candidate build, and then the final version, all in quick succession. I expect Windows 7 to be finalized by April 2009 at the latest, and to be completed simultaneously with Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2), which is also due in April. (Windows 7 and SP2 share more code than people realize as well, by the way.) Windows 7 will be made broadly available to consumers and business customers no later than June 2009.

    And those, folks, are my predictions for the release of Windows 7.

One other factoid: My understanding is that Vista SP2 and Windows 7 will be the baseline for both application and device compatibility going forward, and that’s a big part of the code sharing between these two releases. The idea is that if it works in Vista (with SP2) it will absolutely work in Windows 7 as well.
