Vista and Windows 7

News regarding Vista's success and Windows 7 (Vista's successor) continues to be posted.

Steve Ballmer says that Vista is selling really well (Slashdot post).

"Steve Ballmer is in no way disappointed with Windows Vista. It is selling 'incredibly well,' he told a press conference in Herzeliya, Israel today. 'Vista sells on almost 100 per cent of all the new consumer PCs around the world,' the Microsoft CEO proclaimed. He added that the operating system was also selling on '45 percent of all of new business PCs.' Which is enlightening, since business users are about the only buyers of new PCs that get a choice."

Scoble posts, We ain’t gonna tell you about Windows 7, a link to a CNet interview Windows chief talks '7'.

Two posts about Windows 7 on OSNews:

• Windows 7 Screenshots Leaked?
• Windows 7: No New Kernel, Builds on Vista

Update:

• Late yesterday, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer demonstrated Windows 7 according to this DownloadSquad post: Windows 7 says hello world, then runs and hides away.
The main feature was multi-touch. Hmmm, doesn't the iPhone have that?
• A lengthier story, Microsoft demos 'touch Windows', appears on the BBC's site. Interesting comment by Bill Gates about selling 290 million PCs, compared to 10 million by Apple. Those numbers look suspect to me, given several posts I saw recently about Apple selling 66% of machines above $1000. A quick search, using Google, reveals a post on Slashdot: 66% Apple Market Share For Sales of High-End PCs, which links to Macs Defy Windows' Gravity.
