Windows 7 (Vienna) Screenshots – Confirmed for 2010 Release

If you haven’t seen it already, supposed pictures of the Windows 7 (Vienna) interface were leaked online yesterday along with a bit of information of “what we know so far”. Possible returns of WinFS, obviously a much more enhanced candy-esque UI is going to grace us and also a confirmation that consumers will be getting their hands on this version of Windows sometime in 2010 (with rumors pointing to a RTM of late ‘09).
