Has been officially announced the completion of the development cycle of the new version of this operating system with the achievement of the RTM, which will now become partners and manufacturers to begin making machines were sold with it preinstalled from October 22. Microsoft and think about his successor, which was unaware of the technical data.

Guillem Alsina – For the first time after a few launches of various versions of Windows, the Redmond company will meet the deadlines announced this new version, for which he has put all the wood on the fire in hopes of covering the troubles caused by the icy reception in the market for Windows Vista, a product which is as usual at Microsoft, have tried new solutions, which in this case (and as happened with Windows Millennium Edition, ME) have not liked to the public.

While Vista was greeted with skepticism, Windows 7 is just the opposite has happened. Robustness and stability demonstrated by the system, its quick little machines with powerful hardware (including netbooks) in addition to polishing the problems users have encountered in their daily work with Vista, which made even some voices raise the plea that this would even be commercially launched in beta, something unusual in the history of operating systems developed by Microsoft. In short, we can consider that 7 is a system that has all the virtues of Windows XP but without updating the shortcomings of Vista.

Both through the blog of the Windows development team, and through a press release, Microsoft has officially announced the freezing of the development process of Windows 7 to go to the print version RTM (Release To Manufacture), which means that the system is now ready to enter production.

Monitor safety

From here, you will probably begin a string of leaks of the RTM version since it is designed for partners and manufacturers to prepare their computers in order to achieve their maximum performance with the new Microsoft system. The images of discs that have to be manipulated up by operators of these other companies, some of whom may be tempted to make copies for personal use or even to filter the Internet. It’s nothing exceptional has happened several times before and it is human nature, it is anticipated that can happen again very easily.

This can also become an excuse for hackers and virii published on the Web counterfeit copies of the RTM version (or modified betas and RC1) containing computer viruses and other pathogens in order to damage the computers of trusted users who want to test this new system. For these, we refer to the beta and RC1 versions that Microsoft released in its day and, if discharged directly from the servers provided by the Redmond company or, alternatively, a source of very high confidence, although it is more advisable first.

New line on the horizon

He finished the development of Windows 7. And now what? Microsoft always works simultaneously in two versions of Windows, which will launch in the near future and that will be the long-term future of the platform. In this case, and while working on Windows 7, there were also the first steps of his successor, call it by the time Windows 8 (obviously, this need not be the name finally chosen by Microsoft to launch commercially).

They have not transcended or news reports that showed that new functionality is going to make this next edition of Windows, and taking into account all the uproar caused by 7 has dominated the front pages of the media specialist for several months. For now, we can expect its commercial launch for 2011-2012, because Microsoft does not want you to repeat such a long period without new versions of Windows as it was with XP.

Along with the RTM of Windows 7 has also released the RTM of Windows Server 2008 R2, the server version of it.
