Windows 7 Due In 2009 | Are Vista’s Failures To Blame? | Tech In Demand
Windows Vienna is scheduled to be released sometime next year. It sounds like Microsoft is doing to Vista what they did to Windows ME and that Vienna will be XP's true successor.
I've seen some previews of Vienna, not sure if they're legit or not, but yeah, it looks nice.
Finally, Microsoft sees sense!
Me and my brother were talking about Windows 7, couln't remember the codename though.
Isn't Vienna meant to be similar to Vista only much better?
Vienna is like a combination of MAC and Vista from what I've seen.
The old name for Windows 7 was BlackComb or something.
But, if WinVista SP1 took up 15GB of HD, then I don't wanna see what Vienna is gonna take up.

Who cares about diskspace. A 500 gb harddisk costs around 100 euros nowadays. It doesn't matter to much to me.
SP1 takes 15GB? Christ.
I'd imagine Microsoft would do some serious decompression of Vienna, and you have to remember Vista is full of crappy, unneccessary features
Like Aero. =/
Vienna best be good.
I bet it is a fix of vista.
I do hope they come up with something like "50% discount for people who already bought vista" because else those people have just been majorly fucked.

If you buy proprietary software, you better be prepared to throw some more money if you want the upgrades :P
AM having to install vista in the future as DX 10 dosn't work wiv XP.
Darn it. H8 VIsta my hacked vseion gets BSODs
WHAT you think i buy my OSs from MoneySo$t??
No way.
Umm.... Vienna was just a rumor that someone pulled out of their ass. The proper codename is BlackComb.
Also 2009 is wrong and your article is well outdated. The last I heard from MS is that it's expected in the second half of 2010 with beta starting about Q2 next year.
And if it wasn't for Vista needing to be rewritten a few years ago it would have been out in early 06. MS used to try to release a new OS every 3 years anyways and want to come back to that trait and not having to write the same OS twice before releasing it. :icon6:
Anyways with Windows 7 you are looking at the introduction to Surface which is one of those touch surface interfaces which looks just amazing. Also the kernal is being totally rewritten instead of updating the old NT kernal another time. The new kernal should be like Linux being very light weight and relying on programs on top of it to perform tasks unlike NT.
Other then that I don't know much about it yet. MS hasn't told any of us testers much. :glare:
Edit: Oh yeah, it's going to be 64-bit only.
NoPeace - out
Good i think cause by then ppl will have 4GB of RAM standard.Quote:
