Windows 7 celebrates its first birthday

Windows 7 celebrates its first birthday

Filed under: Microsoft

It's somewhat hard to believe, but Windows 7 turned one year old today. July 22nd of 2009 saw the initial release of the Windows 7 RTM, with torrent sites beating Microsoft to the punch (but hey, that's become sort of a running gag at this point).

Windows 7 has been a huge win for Microsoft so far, pushing customer satisfaction levels to a new high and helping to accelerate the move to 64-bit computing. Next up: service pack 1, which is set to arrive some time in early 2011 -- though it's primarily a rollup of preiouvs hotfixes.

But that's a good thing, right? If customers are so satisfied that probably means no big changes are necessary. Not yet, anyhow. Maybe by the time Windows 7 gets as long in the tooth as Windows XP.
