Microsoft is gearing up to showcase Windows 7 for the first time in 2008, and the company is planning to do so to a global audience. According toTim Sneath Microsoft Client Platform Technical Evangelist, the Redmond  giant is planning to introduce the next iteration of the Windows client at the Professional Developers Conference. Scheduled to take place October 27-30, 2008, in Las Vegas, PDC2008 will be an event largely focused on Windows, and the conference where Microsoft plans to give the world its first taste of Windows 7.

            Speculations indicate that the Redmond company is planning to deliver at least a preview build of Windows 7,  a release following Milestone, with the first Beta reportedly planned for December 2008. Microsoft has failed to officially confirm any such scenario. While indicating that Windows 7 Bulds will be in fact available at PDC2008, Sneath failed to mention whether any of them would actually make it into the hands of participants or whether a broader release is in the making.
