Campaign Calls for Early Windows 7 Release
A website has emerged campaigning for Microsoft to step up development of Windows 7 and launch it earlier than planned. The beta released in the last month has created much excitement across the tech world, and many people are eager for the release of Microsoft's new OS, currently slated for Q4 2009 to Q1 2010. Many websites are posting positive reviews of the public beta, a reason behind this movement. The founder of the site, Kelly Poe has said,

I'm a BIG Windows fan and have been loving what Microsoft has done with the recent Beta Release of Windows 7. There have been so many great reviews from people like Leo Laporte (twit.tv, TWIT Podcast) and Paul Thurrott (www.winsupersite.com, Windows Weekly podcast), needless to say I'm jones'n for the release of Windows 7.At the time of writing the site had a backing of 646 votes, which was constantly growing. You can find the website and join the campaign at releasewindows7.com
So here we are...let's join together and get Microsoft to release Windows 7...enough with this Beta stuff...release it already!!! Let the beautiful little birdy (with the odd name) fly!!!

This is the WORST thing they can possibly do!
EVER!
Just think what will happen if they release it early and we have another driver nightmare!
I say release it once there are enough well made drivers for it; the manufacturers better get off their asses this time.
Windows 7 is not ready for mass consumption, not quite yet. I'd rather it was released when it's ready and I have to wait and use Vista for a while longer.
Hopefully it's as good as these people claim, but that MS uses the time before launch to really polish their product.
Let's give time for microsoft, let they make a good OS!

Windows7's optimalizations are done in a different area.
I am a programmer and have multiple windows open all the time, it's the most confusing thing ever.
How they can combine the starting of an app and displaying running programs in the same button is beyond me. I found you can shift left click to start a new app but it still is hard to get used to.
