I’m not sure how you feel about another Windows, but it seems like Windows Vista is recently released and Bill Gates is telling us there will be a New OS next year? (~18 months away from now) According to Wikipedia, Windows 7 (codenamed Blackcomb, then Vienna) is scheduled to be the next major operating system of Microsoft Windows, to be the successor of Windows Vista. It’s heard that Windows 7 should be available in the second half of 2009.

Why would I change to yet another MS operating system? I would do so if it will offer something that would make a huge difference or I have to use it due to compatibility issues with new software. Microsoft might reuse their cheap tactic where they use their power to force the major software manufacturers to stop supporting older OS like Windows XP and make users upgrade to the latest Windows.

What is Minwin?

Such a cute name, isn’t it? Minwin is a mini variation of the Windows kernel, called MinWin which is being developed for use in Windows 7. This kernel takes up about only 25 MB on disk and has a memory usage of 40 MB! Note: This is non-GUI environment.
