Windows 7 Beta1明年1月13號(hào)發(fā)布？

Win7之家（ afsion.com.cn）：Windows 7 Beta1明年1月13號(hào)發(fā)布？

 早在10月底的PDC2008大會(huì)上，微軟部門經(jīng)理Steven Sinofsky就宣布稱Windows 7 Beta1將在明年初發(fā)布。如今，一名微軟內(nèi)部人士在其博客上透露了Windows 7 Beta 1的具體發(fā)布時(shí)間，而這個(gè)時(shí)間，就是2009年的1月13號(hào)左右。

另外，據(jù)MSDN開(kāi)發(fā)者會(huì)議的推廣公告稱，所有與會(huì)者都將獲得一份Windows 7 Beta1的DVD，而第一次會(huì)議就定在本月9號(hào)，也就是下周二。那是否意味著Windows 7 Beta 1在本月就能與公眾見(jiàn)面呢？答案是否定的。

“根據(jù)我的理解，DVD不會(huì)在這次與會(huì)時(shí)發(fā)放，而是會(huì)逐個(gè)寄到他們手中，我估計(jì)從2009年1月13號(hào)左右才會(huì)開(kāi)始發(fā)放DVD。因此，不難想象即使是奧蘭多，休斯頓和亞特蘭大當(dāng)?shù)氐呐c會(huì)者，也要到明年1月中旬才能拿到DVD”

上個(gè)月我曾私下里說(shuō)Windows 7 Beta1將會(huì)在CES上公布，而現(xiàn)在，可以公開(kāi)發(fā)表這一觀點(diǎn)了。微軟CEO鮑爾默將會(huì)在1月7號(hào)發(fā)布CES的keynotes。而毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)地，鮑爾默將會(huì)在CES上展示Windows 7，而此后必定會(huì)有版本被公布出來(lái)，這就使得1月13號(hào)成為Windows 7 Beta1的最佳發(fā)布時(shí)間了。

附部分原文：

At the Professional Developers Conference in late October, Windows chief Steven Sinofsky announced that Windows 7 Beta 1 would be ready “early next year.” A Microsoft insider has now confirmed the actual date, which is indeed very early next year. In a comment on his blog, Keith Combs has revealed that Windows 7 Beta 1 will be available on or around January 13, 2009.

Keith’s post links to a promotional announcement for the MSDN Developer Conference series, where every registrant “will receive a Windows 7 Beta 1 DVD.” The first event in the MSDN series is next week, on December 9, in Houston. So does that mean the next Windows 7 beta will be ready for public distribution this month? According to Keith, the answer is no:

    My understanding is that the DVD will not be ready for the first few show dates but will be mailed to each attendee.

    We are targeting to have the DVD’s in the materials from 1/13/2009 on.

    So I would imagine the folks attending the Houston, Orlando and Atlanta shows this month will receive their DVD’s around mid January as well.  That’s an assumption on my part.  Could be earlier or later, but they will get them.
