Here is more on the same story, different website: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070424204528.htm
I find this a very significant marker on our search for Earth II.
Of course there will be other better candidates as time passes, but one significant factor would be the age of the sun that the planet is orbiting, it would logically, need to be a good deal younger than ours, as well as have the propensity for liquid water.
