Fan starts campaign for Windows 7's immediate release

InfoWorld | at | by Mike

A Windows enthusiast is calling for Microsoft to release Windows 7 now, only a few weeks after the company made available the software's first public test version.

So far, the campaign, which has been reported on a few other Microsoft-centric blogs, has garnered only a limited response.

At the time this article was written, the campaign to release Windows 7 now had 72 votes.

Microsoft did not respond immediately on Thursday to request for comment about the campaign.

Early reviews of the first beta for Windows 7, released on Jan. 10, have said the software fixes many of the problems users reported with its predecessor Windows Vista. Microsoft on Saturday -- the day it originally planned to take the beta down from the Web -- extended its general availability until Feb. 10 due to what the company said was high demand.
