InternetNews | at | by Mike
So much for codenames. Mike Nash, corporate vice president for Windows product management, today announced that Microsoft's upcoming operating system is to be officially named after its codename, Windows 7.
The news was posted on Microsoft's official Windows 7 blog and comes just two weeks prior to the Professional Developer Conference, Microsoft's big developer show set to take place in Los Angeles beginning October 27.
Attendees of the show will get what's called a "pre-beta 'developer only release'" at the show. The day one opening keynote will feature Ray Ozzie, chief software architect at Microsoft, and Steve Sinofsky, the executive in charge of the Windows team.
