Just about now (18:30 PST on 7 January 2008), Steve Ballmer should be delivering his pre-CES keynote, during which he will announce the public release of the betas for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
As 18:30 PST is 02:30 GMT, I’ll be asleep when this post goes live (ah, the wonders of modern technology) but I’ll post more in the morning (once I’ve checked exactly what information has been made public). There is so much I’ve been waiting to say about Windows 7 but have been unable to do so because of non-disclosure agreements and hopefully now that has changed. Watch this space.
