Microsoft begins Windows 7 push
Found on BBC News on Wednesday, 07 January 2009
The first public trial, or beta, version of Windows 7 has been released.
Although Windows 7 was a trial version it was, said Mr Ballmer, almost "feature complete" and would help to re-define the way people thought of the software.
Instead of it being an operating system mainly associated with a PC, he said, Windows was becoming a "connected platform and experience".
What a quick death for Vista, after being on the market for just two years.
