It's February 1: The first "official" day of the Steven Sinofsky Windows era. Yes, I know Senior Vice President of Windows and Windows Live Engineering Sinofsky has been working on Windows Vista and Windows Live for the past several months. His re-org stamp is already visible on a number of divisions and projects. But given that January 31 was former Windows chief Jim Allchin's last day, I'm counting today as the first day of the new post-Allchin Windows world. That means,Office 2010 Download (http://www.office2007-key.co.uk/office-2010-key), for one, it's time to move beyond the vista-themed family of codenames and begin using the more boring and sanitized ones that we're all going to have to get used to,Office 2007 Serial (http://www.windows7key.ca/office-2007-key), going forward. First off, it's time to stop with the "Vienna" stuff. Those in the know need to start using "Windows 7 (http://www.msoffice2007key.com/windows-7-key)" to refer to the next full-fledged version of Windows client. (Why 7? I guess because it follows NT 6.0?) Not so coincidentally,Windows 7 Ultimate (http://www.office2007-key.us/windows-7-key), numbers are back in vogue — like they are on the Office side of the house, which, as Microsoft watchers have known for a while, is working on "Office 14" (not "13" — bad luck), the next version of Office. What other changes are in store from the new Windows regime? Over in my regular Redmond Magazine column,Office 2007 (http://www.office-2007-key.com/), I mention (tongue planted in cheek … sort of) a few of the ways Microsoft could and might make Windows development and testing more like that done by the Office unit. Among my suggestions: * Stop talking about unreleased products. Don't share publicly a list of promised features/functionality before the product is totally locked down. Punish transgressors both inside and outside the company. * Cease sharing any information about delivery milestones or dates. Never talking about ship targets means never having to say you're sorry. * Ban historical references. Anyone mentioning "WinFS,Office Enterprise 2007 (http://www.office2010-key.us/office-2007-key)," "Cairo" or "Hailstorm" gets put in the penalty box. Other changes you're expecting in the brave new Windows world?
