Private tests of Windows 7 lead to release rumors
MCP Magazine | at | by Mike
Microsoft won't say when the first public beta release of its Windows 7 operating system will occur, but some possible dates have been anonymously leaked. The successor OS to Windows Vista is currently undergoing private testing. That release to testers, plus two upcoming Microsoft events happening in the fall, may be driving the speculation.
Events where we might expect to hear more about Windows 7 include Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference (Oct. 27 to 30) and the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (Nov. 5 to 7), both to be held in Los Angeles.
