The next Windows operating system will be released on the first month of 2010 according to a letter company senior vice president Bill Veghte. The letter was sent to Microsoft customers.

He wrote, “You have told us you want a more regular, predictable Windows release schedule. You’ve also let us know you don’t want to face the kinds of incompatibility challenges with the next version of Windows you might have experienced early with Windows Vista. As a result, our approach with Windows 7 is to build off the same core architecture as Windows Vista so the investments you and our partners have made in Windows Vista will continue to pay off with Windows 7. Our goal is to ensure the migration process from Windows Vista to Windows 7 is straightforward.”
