| Windows Vista Followup Already in the Works Codename Vienna, we can see it as early as 2009: "We're going to look at a fundamental piece of enabling technology. Maybe its hypervisors, I don't know what it is ... Maybe it's a new user interface paradigm for consumers. It's too early for me to talk about it ... But over the next few months I think you're going to start hearing more and more http://news.yahoo.com/s/infoworld/20...nfoworld/85937

| Last 6 full years versus the previous six - 2000-2006 versus 1994-1999 Window 2000/XP versus Windows 3.1, Win95, Win98/SE ... there were more changes back then; and people use the OS to make a living, ie working with more software to support business.

| Seriously makes me laugh: Win2K and XP are like 95% the same software, if not more, only diff is that XP has more multimedia support, while Win2K had more network support. Never had problems with either, and frankly, that's why I'm not eager to switch to Vista: XP is stable and good enough, and there's no needed software that requires Vista to work atm. On a side note: the following OS had to be known to be coming, as they couldn't finish WinFS soon enough. They will prolly pull out a new Vista with WInFS and some special features that require WinFS to work, otherwise, I won't see how they could sell it. |
