Windows 7 in Beta Version, Could Be Available by mid-January

If the current reports are true, and there is no reason to doubt them, Windows 7 should be ready for the public by mid-January next year. With the way development has picked up pace, first DVDs of Windows 7 Beta 1 should be available to attendees at Microsoft’s Developers Conference in Chicago and Minneapolis from January 13th onwards. Though expected to be officially available in early 2010, Microsoft seems to be speeding up the development process and may release it as early as late 2009. [via Electronista & image by neo.wave]
