Problem with Vista crashing? It'll be fixed by 2010

Saw this coverage from the recent Microsoft WinHEC conference, and was particuarly intrigued by Microsoft calling attention to the fact that frequent crashes in the Vista operating system will be fixed by the installation of Windows 7. As is apparent in the attached photo, they even included a projection of crash reduction.

Uh, it's my understanding that Windows 7 won't be out until at least 2010, and probably later, if previous ship dates are any indication.

If that's case, why tout Windows 7 now? Seems a little deliberately-induced brand bruising to an already black-and-blue Vista brand...

However, there is some cool stuff coming for the new operating system and you can check out the WinHEC conference highlights on ChannelWeb: http://www.crn.com/hardware/212001046;jsessionid=ESHZJLTX2RLZWQSNDLPSKHSCJUNN2JVN?pgno=1
