Microsoft has announced that the public is on the verge of getting a Beta version of Windows 7 in their hands sometime in the first quarter of 2009.  It seems like Microsoft is really ramping up the development of its next major Operating System.  This could be because of the negative effect consumers have on Windows Vista, which surprisingly to me is totally unfounded.  It has been stated all around the web that Windows 7 could be finalized as early as the summer of 2009.  I would guess that Microsoft will definitely want to release this before the Back to School montage happens and in time for the holiday season.

There are 6 screenshots below from the expected Beta version.  These screenies in all likelihood could come from a final shipping product as well.  Click on any image to enlarge the screenshot.
