Definition
Previously identified as “Blackcomb” and “Vienna,” Windows 7 is reported to be the next version of the Windows OS. It will succeed Windows Vista, will be available in both client and server versions, and will be released on October 22, 2009.
Business applications
Windows 7 client and server, will offer enhanced remote management for the enterprise, and offer a better experience for laptop users. This will be a positive purchase-point for businesses when the software ships. Since it is being built with the compatibility of the Windows operating systems, millions of applications will be available for the system, there by reducing most conversion costs for the enterprise.
Controversies
Microsoft has reported that the new OS will contain performance improvements over the current Windows Vista. This may be a tipping point for some businesses to move to the new OS. Vista has had its problems with adoption by the mainstream and businesses. The much-awaited new version of the Windows OS really needs to live up to the hype to succeed.
Technical details
Windows 7 will be available in 32- and 64-bit versions. The dreaded UAC that came with Windows Vista has been enhanced to allow the user to control how often they are notified of changes to the system. There are also some personalization changes that allow each user to define their desktop, as well as enhancements to the wireless networking controls. As far as technical changes, it should be very similar to Vista, but with some aesthetic changes to clear up the issues that have plagued Vista.

Vista was a big FAIL.
