Windows 7: On or Before January 2010.

On an editorial disclosure: I love Windows Vista on my Dell XPS M1530 with SSD. Works wonderfully, and has been a great experience.

Big focus on compatibility. The Windows 7 product manager delivered a demonstration that shows that all of your compatibility work with Vista is going to be preserved as you move to Windows 7.

Vista:

On reference systems, the median improvement was 7%, and multiple PCs gained more than 10% of battery life on SP1
Mojave experiment, although not popular with the media, certainly demonstrated that there are a lot of people in the world who have opinions on things they have not personally experienced.
My opinion: Seems that Windows 7 is just the next version of Vista. Continued focus on powershell, compatibility, power management, and usability.
