A blog article has been posted on news.com about Bill Gates’ statement on the next Windows operating system.

“The version after Vista is a big step forward in terms of speech. It’s a big step forward in terms of ink. It’s a big step forward in terms of touch,” he said in an interview at Stanford University.

He added that, “The likelihood is that touch will become mainstream on certain form factors very quickly because we are working hand-in-hand with the hardware companies. Speech and ink it’s a little harder to say.”

Microsoft has not released any official information when Windows 7 will be released.
