Gates: Windows 7 may come ‘in the next year’

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates on Friday indicated that Windows 7, the next major version of Windows, could come within the next year, far ahead of the development schedule previously indicated by the software maker.

In response to a question about Windows Vista, Gates, speaking before the Inter-American Development Bank here, said: "Sometime in the next year or so we will have a new version." Referring to Windows 7, the code name for the next full release of Windows client software, Gates said: "I’m super-enthused about what it will do in lots of ways."

Most of Gates’ speech was devoted to topics closer to home for the crowd, such as how Latin America can be more competitive.
