Will Windows 7 get a new name for its release?
Ed Bott: I?m reading more and more about Windows 7 lately as PDC approaches and Microsoft begins revealing more snippets of information about its most secretive product ever. In most of that coverage, I?ve noticed an assumption that Windows 7 is going to be the final name of the product. I?ve been guilty of leaping to that conclusion myself.
But a reader asked the other day why Microsoft is calling it Windows 7, and as I worked on my response to that question, it struck me that it?s entirely possible, even likely, that the next release of Windows will get a new name before it hits the streets. (Keep reading, and I?ll give you a chance to compare your prediction with mine.)
