Microsoft to unveil Windows 7 Preview during Oct.08


Next month at Microsoft 's Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles, Microsoft will give attendees a pre-beta version of Windows 7, the successor to Windows Vista that's slated for release in late 2009.


Microsoft had said that it plans to use the event to highlight its progress on the Windows 7 kernel, networking, hardware and devices, and user interface.

"At this year's PDC, keynote attendees will be among the first to receive the pre-beta build of Windows 7," and the event will also include 21 different Windows 7 related sessions, Microsoft said in the post.


Microsoft traditionally schedules the PDC whenever it reaches a critical mass of momentum and coming technology to offer developers a sneak preview of what's coming down the road.


Microsoft has said that Windows 7 will include multi-touch powered tools for editing and arranging digital photos, as well as interactive mapping applications similar to the Concierge offering developed by Microsoft's Surface team.
