      Quite a while ago I said that Windows 7 is what they wanted Vista to be but ran out of time.

        When is W7 due to be released? (and when will it actually be released?)

          There are a lot of features I like about Windows 7. I have had it for a week and first installed it on a VM and was mildly titillated, enough to where I installed it as my main OS and am absolutely sold. I bypassed Vista anticipating Windows 7 release and am not sorry. It seems they listened and learned! A hots off to the people at uSoft Mike

            Sweet. Hopefully now explorer is smart enough to realize when the culprit is itself (often the case in my experience), it'll do something about it.

              Sweet. But the ability has been around since NT 4 or Win2K. Amazing that it took this long to get in. Better late than never. And now the GNUME and KDE-tards have something to copy :)

                I was thinking that Chuck Norris was claiming the file, so Windows 7 cannot touch it... :-\

                      What's new about this? I get exactly the same message (well, minus the "Send feedback" link) in Vista. "Your File Is In Use… Demystified"[^]

                        It would be a real boon to Microsoft's PR if they offered free (or significantly discounted) upgrades from Vista to Windows 7.

                          I don't think MS have actually announced a release date. The rumour-mill, however, predicts Sept-Oct. Ready for the 'Holiday Season'

                            Your message interests me. I keep reading that W7 is only available for Vista users. So what did you upgrade from?

                              I downloaded the Beta and did a full install. Had XP Pro and it wiped out the XP MBR but I believe if I wanted to I could recover. You can get the Beta Here[^] The license is good until Aug. 1 of this year so I'm hoping if the real deal is not ready by then they will extend the Beta period for us that have adopted it. Mike

                                          It would be a real boon to Microsoft's PR if they offered free (or significantly discounted) upgrades from Vista to Windows 7.

                                          I think Windows 7 is to give them a 3-5 year breathing space to get Midori out. Can't wait myself.
