Windows 7 Adoption

Windows 7 is an upcoming version of Microsoft Windows operating System for use on personal computers. In 2007 Microsoft estimated that Windows 7 would have a three-year development time frame following the release of its predecessor Windows Vista, but that the release date would ultimately be determined by product quality.

Windows 7 is expected to includes a number of new features, such as advances in touch and handwriting recognition, support for virtual hard disks, improved performance on multi-core processors, improved boot performance, and kernel improvements.
