Microsoft exec touts the benefits of Windows 7

With Microsoft's Windows 7 OS widely expected to make its debut sometime next year, the company is slowly getting into marketing mode promoting the upcoming OS and its benefits over Vista. Microsoft Senior VP Bill Veghte is the latest exec to tout Windows 7, speaking to investors Veghte reassured the crowd that the OS is a significant upgrade over Vista: "There are plenty of great things in there that make it much more significant than a service pack". The OS is supposed to offer improved boot times in comparison to Vista, as well as performance enhancements for SSDs and multitouch support.
