Prediction: Microsoft will leapfrog Vista, release Windows 7 early, and change its OS business

Jason Hiner, the Executive Editor of TechRepublic has written an interesting article Prediction: Microsoft will leapfrog Vista, release Windows 7 early, and change its OS business in which he states that “Microsoft will ultimately try to quell the embarrassing Windows Vista debacle by making a bold move with Windows 7 to win back customer loyalty and generate positive spin for its most important product.” He goes on to say that “My prognosis is that Microsoft will use smoke and mirrors to conjure up an early release of Windows 7, the next edition of the world’s most widely-used operating system. Then they will quietly and unofficially allow IT departments to migrate straight from Windows XP to Windows 7.”

Check out his prediction and the reasoning behind why in his opinion Microsoft will leapfrog Vista and change its OS business.
