微軟積極籌備下世代作業系統Windows 7，相較目前Vista，新版本在電腦周邊硬體裝置管理、多點觸控功能等方面有重大突破，預料將引爆個人電腦（PC）新一波換機潮，並有機會從明年下半年逐漸發酵，包括宏碁、華碩、廣達、仁寶等國內PC供應鏈將受惠。

繼兩年前推出Vista後，微軟正積極籌備Windows 7，Windows 7前期測試版（pre Beta）9日首度在台灣Windows硬體工程大會（WinHEC）上亮相，這也是微軟繼美國總部、中國大陸之後，首度對外展示新版作業系統。

微軟Windows核心作業系統資訊副總裁Jon DeVaan表示，Windwos 7新增Device stage功能，加強與手機、印表機、數位相機、隨身碟、數位相框等電腦周邊硬體裝置的連結，使用者只要將電腦連結硬體裝置，電腦螢幕就會秀出接近真實硬體的圖像，且可以快速連結到該硬體的應用程式，解決過去硬體管理過於破碎問題。

其次Windows 7納入多點觸控（Multi-Touch）功能；支援數位生活網路聯盟（DLNA）標準，強化數位家庭（Home Group）互連功能。

在開關機速度、記憶體管理、電源管理等方面都有明顯改善。

由於Windows 7是微軟作業系統發展上的另一次大革命，預料將引爆PC市場的新一波換機潮。包括宏碁、華碩、廣達、仁寶等PC代工廠及品牌商，以及被動元件，印刷電路版（PCB）、散熱模組等一長串電腦供應鏈都將受惠。

其中Windows 7新增多點觸控功能，可望帶動電腦觸控螢幕商機起飛；惟Windows 7特別加強記憶體管理，記憶體需求比Vista更節省，對於力晶、南科、茂德等供過於求的DRAM業者，恐怕是個壞消息。

Jon DeVaan表示，微軟明年初會推出Beta（測試）版，接下來發表準正式版（release Candidate），至於正式版本推出時間還不確定。市場人士估算，Windows 7推出時間約落在2009年底至2010年初間，相關效應有機會從明年下半年起逐漸發酵。

Below is my conversation with the customer service (CS) of the printer maker(simplified verson):

Me: I bought your printer. Is it your responsibility to provide me a driver that competible to Vista?
CS: It is Vista stopping our driver to install. It is Microsft's problem. Please contact Microsoft for the solution.

Me: If I cannot install the printer, then I have to return the product. Will it be your problem now?
CS: I am very sorry, but if you have to return it, then you might have to do that.

晕低.....

I agree with you that 7 years is too long. However, I believe MS should be blamed for rushing out buggy OS before it is ready (at least to an acceptable and reasoable standard).

I wait almost 2 year ...

Comeon, Windows ME and Windows 2000 are totally different. Windows 98, ME, xp are for the consumers while Windows 2000/2003 Server are for businesses.

i believe the top issue for people (including myself) not accepting Vista is its compatibility. i don't want to upgrade all of my hardware and software just for being able to run on a new OS which i don't see much additional benefit compare to the one I already had and satisfied with.

i had to return a new laser printer i just bought (it is on Christams sales) for not being able to install the driver. i called the manufacturue and they told me that it is Microsoft's problem (Vista) and adviced me to call Microsoft for a solution. it took me a week trying to find a solution and at last i just returned it and wait till 2009.

just looking at how the business world rejecting Vista. MS even planned to stop XP in order to push the business society to upgrade to Vista. However, MS had to delay the plan since the business society was so upset with this decision.

MS didnt rush Vista out, it took them far longer to develop then intended and Vista is as stable as XP.  Its just Vista demands a lot of new hardware.  those with Core 2 Duo and 2GB of ram are all happy with vista.   A lot of ppl refused to upgrade XP for the same reason.  

What Vista failed at was there was too many different versions and most notebook comes with home premium.  which sucks for business users as home premium can not connect to a domain.  and consumers didn't know what to choose.

Microsoft have to push out new OS that demands new hardware to keep the market growing.  

and you can't even compare ME and 2000, windows 2000 was not intended for consumer use and its was build off NT4 and its a far more stable platform then windows 9x.  windows XP is based of 2000.
