If you have not till now upgraded to Windows Vista yet, then there is a case  to delay a bit longer .It looks like the next version, Windows 7, is coming sooner than expected. That reaction is exactly what Microsoft is wary  of - and why it has been scrambling today to stamp on the suggestion that unlike Vista , which arrived years late after its announcement,Windows 7  may actually arrive early. Morever  the speculation will not be easy to kill. Bill Gates himself let the cat out of the bag by declaring he was “super-excited” about the next Windows in “the next year or so”.

                           Recently , Microsoft said it planned to offer a version of Windows XP until June 2010 or a year after the launch of Windows 7, “whichever date is later” - an apparent indication that a date of June next year had been pencilled in for the launch of the new operating system. Though a  Microsoft spokesperson says nothing has changed, Windows 7 is still expected to take around three years from the consumer launch of Vista (January 2007) and maybe Gates was referring to the first beta version of the software.
