三大系统乱战 Windows 7或将提早发布

Win7之家（ www.win7china.com）：三大系统乱战 Windows 7或将提早发布

 微软的三款操作系统将在2009年形成交火，在这一年里，微软需要逐步完成XP的功成身退，同时继续拓展Vista的市场需求，另外，还得为新的Windows 7开辟一片新天地。

困扰微软的是Vista一直是最令其头疼的系统，不过同时最艰难也有报告称在过去的一年里，Vista进步不小。很多坚持XP或者通过降级权获得XP的用户都希望Windows 7运行起来更快，使用起来更具效率。

2009年将是IE 8正式版和Windows 7发布的一年，同时也是微软以Windows Azure进军云计算领域的一年，这即将到来的一年对软件巨头来说似乎充满了挑战。Garter的分析师认为为了把Vista和Windows 7区分开来，微软会散布烟雾弹迷惑媒体而悄然提前发布Windows 7。

Gartner analyst Michael Silver expects that Microsoft will try to differentiate Windows 7 from Vista by keeping ship date hype to a minimum and then delivering earlier than anticipated.
