From an article in BusinessWeek:
Microsoft is already hard at work on its next operating system, Windows 7. While details are scant, experts think it might be late 2010 or 2011 before it’s on the market.
Reading about such things as 2011 in the news gave me quite a shock. I still feel like it’s the new millennium, and Y2K was just last year. Do you remember where you were in 1999?
