January 13th is Windows 7 Day

We already know quite a lot about Windows 7: it has a distinct Office 2007 feel to the UI, it is likely to feature some kind of instant on fast booting process, and the OS itself should scale to some 256 processors. The launch of an official 'Engineering Windows 7' blog has helped with this knowledge, as indeed has the fact that early pre-betas were given away freely at the recent Microsoft Professional Developer Conference and Windows Hardware Engineering Conference.
