Windows 7 next year?!

Microsoft is readying Windows 7 for next year after the Windows Vista debacle it isn't surprising. Windows Vista was in many way Windows ME take two, buggy, bloated, not ready for everyday use and Microsoft admits that, not really, but introducing 7 next year is more due to Vista's poor reception by the media, businesses and the public than anything else, and that says a lot.
One of the most important features of Windows 7 is the new kernel, dubbed MinWin, the new kernel is significantly smaller than Vista's, 25MB vs 4GB, that alone should make Windows 7 not only more efficient but more stable and secure, after all there is less to go wrong.
Can't say that I'm looking forward to it, Microsoft over promised and under delivered with Vista, I bet it will be the same with 7. The proof is in the pudding, once it is out, I'll see how it really stacks up, Microsoft is no longer ahead of the rest in the OS game, actually never were, if anything they are now falling behind the competition and it shows.
