Crazy Bill Gates says Windows 7 coming next year, Microsoft wipes his chin and sets the record straight
He’s basically retired and bored, so in order to liven things up he’ll say something like “Windows 7 will be available next year!!!” and then he’ll steal a bunch of pencils from the supply closet and run down the hall singing ‘Renegade’ by Styx.
So last Friday, Gates told Reuters that he expected Windows 7 to be released “sometime in the next year or so,” to which the people at Microsoft who actually work all day long said, “Ho-ho-hold it,” and announced that Windows 7 would be available three years from when Vista was first available to consumers, which would put it into 2010 according to InformationWeek.
