Windows 7 Beta in January

People in the Windows blogosphere were buzzing Tuesday because of a blog post by Keith Combs on the Microsoft Technet site. He was alluding to the Windows 7 Beta 1 DVDs being given out at an up and coming developer event.

Ina Fried, from CNET reported that Keith said, “We are targeting to have the DVDs in the materials from 1/13/2009 on.” This would be some evidence that Steven Sinofsky has whipped the Windows devlopment organization into shape and is really making the trains run on time for a change. From what I saw from Microsoft’s PDC Windows 7 looks to be a promising successor to the tragedy of Windows Vista.
