Fan Starts Campaign for Windows 7's Immediate Release
A Windows enthusiast is calling for Microsoft to release Windows 7 now, only a few weeks after the company made available the software's first public test version.
Nashville, Tennessee, resident Kelly Poe has started the "Release Windows 7 Now" campaign to urge the company to "let the beautiful little birdy (with the odd name) fly" instead of continuing to test the software.
"I'm a BIG Windows fan and have been loving what Microsoft has done with the recent Beta Release of Windows 7," he wrote on the campaign site. Poe said that based on positive reviews of Windows 7 by Leo LaPorte, another Windows enthusiast who has advocated an early release of Windows 7 on his podcasts, and Paul Thurrott, who writes and maintains the popular SuperSite for Windows blog, he's "jones'n" for the software's release.
