Windows 7 Development ProcessNew approach for Windows development and disclosure

Vision Development & Test Pre-Beta Beta Release

PlanningSpend more time on planning & vision phase analyzing trends and needs before building features. Focus on end-to-end business scenarios – not just new features and technologies.

PredictabilityGive our customer and partners a timeframe for the release and stick to our plan – 3 years for Windows 7.Disclose with higher degree of certainty and minimize changes

EcosystemEngaging with partners earlier and more closely to enable seamless experiences and compatibility across hardware, software and services

We are here

Similar Compatibility: Most software that runs on Windows Vista will run on Windows 7. Exceptions will be low level code (AV, Firewall, Imaging, etc). Hardware that runs Windows Vista well will run Windows 7 well.

Few Changes: Focus on quality and reliability improvements

Windows 7 Builds on Windows VistaDeployment, Testing, and Pilots Today Will Continue to Pay Off

Deep Changes: New models for security, drivers, deployment, and networking
