Microsoft launched its Windows Vista OS about 20 months ago but the next version of Windows (at the moment it's only being called Windows 7) is already underway with a tentative release date in January 2010. Early builds of the OS have been sent out to testers and the web site ThinkNext claims to have a copy with lots of pictures of its various features.

One of these supposed features is shown above where PC games could be automatically updated with their newest patch in the OS (although you will still have the option of doing any updates manually). While the screenshot seems real there's no guarantee that such a feature will actually show up in the final shipping project so take this with a little grain of salt for now.
