Countdown to Windows 7

Microsoft South Africa's Ben McDonald speaks to Axel Buhrmann about Windows 7, the day after its RTM (release to manufacture). Points raised include the "fundamentals" of Windows 7; including faster boot times, Bluetooth driver execution, battery life, and XP mode; how Microsoft's new OS differs from Vista; and why Windows should not be seen as "Vista 2.0".

Finally, will the release of Windows 7 stimulate the PC market when it is launched 22 October 2009?
