Windows Mojave is not Windows 7.  At least, that’s what the official story from Microsoft happens to be.

If you’ve been anywhere outside of a cave over the course of the last few months, you have likely heard of the Mojave Experiment that Microsoft carried out.  It was designed to trick people into using Windows Vista and then to catch the surprised expressions on their faces when they found out that the system they enjoyed using (Windows Mojave) was actually a system they were conditioned to hate (Windows Vista).  The message on the part of Microsoft was that Vista was a fantastic system but also one that was highly misunderstood by its critics.

Well, Windows Vista has been a big bomb in spite of the Mojave Experiment and in an effort to save face (not to mention market share), it appears as though Microsoft has decided to up the ante on their Windows 7 operating system, bringing it onto the market in beta form a lot earlier than many people may have thought possible.  However, many in the technology market are very suspicious at this latest turn of events and some have even gone so far as to suggest that the beta of Windows 7 might be another Windows Mojave, designed to trick people into using Windows Vista under another name.

One of the elements that seem to have disappeared from the drawing board is the massive Multitouch support that Microsoft had promised to introduce throughout Windows 7.  That support appears to be nowhere near as intense now, leaving Multitouch fans to hold their collective breath until the beta comes out.
