Congratulations to you, Larry and to other Microsofties! Out of curiosity - do you happen to know, how much time it takes to make a full build of Windows 7 code?Anonymous

Yay. o/ Looking forward to installing this for real, after only really dabbling with Win7 in VMs and a test machine (that I never really use) until now.Anonymous

Maciej: Funny you should ask that: http://edge.technet.com/Media/Building-Win7-interview-with-a-Build-Engineer/ Shorter video: About 12 hours according to Istvan.Anonymous

Stupid question, but why is the product being called Windows 7 when it's really a 6th-generation Windows build? I was expecting the official title to change (as when Longhorn became Vista).Anonymous

Amazing work across the board, but since I've been reading your blog I pay increasing attention to audio and while Vista was light-years ahead of XP in terms of audio control, Win7 is a massive improvement over Vista. Congratulations to you and the rest of your team.Anonymous

Thanks Larry, looking forward to Windows 7. I do like the audio feature (on Vista) that gives me a volume control for each application. BrianAnonymous
