Whats next after Vista?
We don’t know many details. The next major version of Windows, once dubbed “Blackcomb,” is now known as “Vienna”. It’s part of a series of Microsoft code names that refer to great cities of the world. As Wikipedia reports, rumours about this OS date to before the release of Windows XP, and include the possibility that it will introduce a completely new user interface with intriguing-sounding elements known as the GroupBar and the LayoutBar, as well as sandboxing technology designed to prevent rogue applications from having any impact on other programs. When it will appear is anyone’s guess, but Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said that the more-than-five-year gap between Windows XP and Vista will never be repeated. If that’s the rule, Vienna should arrive sometime before early 2012.
