RE: Cast your vote in the Windows 7 release date prediction pool
July 31, 2010

- XP SP3 will keep it alive until then while MS franticly tries to push Vista harder and bring it up to snuff.

- Also if MS released Windows 7 earlier than what they are saying it will have the effect of saying 'Vista really did suck and we needed to get this out to save us' (No Im not saying Windows Vista sucks - I happen to like it - but the few hens dont) and Windows7 would take on the social stigma of "being rushed" out to RTM and therefore get further backlash from consumers (if something in Windows7 doesnt go as planned)
