You may not be able to get an early look at the next major release of Windows ? but the law can.
Microsoft recently submitted an early build of what has been referred to as Windows 7 to the Technical Committee ? the group of technology experts appointed by the Department of Justice and the other plaintiffs in Microsoft's U.S. antitrust settlement that oversee technical aspects of the case, according to court documents.
Discussion of Windows 7 showed up as part of the quarterly joint status report that Microsoft and the plaintiffs are required to file with U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly so that she can monitor Microsoft's compliance with its 2002 consent decree.
