Windows Vienna? - HardwareGeeks.com A Community For the Sophisticated Geek or Geekette

I was just at Wincustomize.com and was reading a pretty fawked up/interesting article on the supposed new version of Windows that comes out in 2011. Supposidly it is just Windows Blackcomb just rebuilt.

Here is the article at Wikipedia...

Something tells me that people that don't like Vista are creating this to make people think otherwise. Vista is not even out and a supposed "Vienna" has been leaked?

Also, I thought that blackcomb was completely scrapped because of Longhorn/Vista?

Is this bull or not?

It may contain information of a speculative nature and the content may change dramatically as the product release approaches and more information becomes available.

So that would mean that this is bull in some aspects?

It's just Blackcomb, whatever state it is in, has been given its next codename. I guess it has reached a certain stage of development.

I bet in 3 years it will be out, even though XP has lasted more than 5 years (and I feel is still perfectly good), MS has got a little bad press for not bringing out a new OS earlier.

Not sure why, I don't find having to fork out each year for the next OSX update that fun. Especially considering what Tiger hasn't really done for me since I installed it.

Interesting article, Angel. I read the article in entirety and it appears to be a logical direction for MS to take. I'm not quite sure what they were refering to when they mentioned the "pie" thing but it will be interesting to see how things develop.

I tend to agree with Septimus that MS will get out its next major OS release within 5 years as they've been 'kinda under the gun for pushing back Vista.

Its funny.....HTF can people dislike something that hasn't even been completed yet!

the wiki has the vibe group part right, along with the 3d part, though not the complete rewrite and removal of basic interface components

It's also due in 2010 not 2011

I just spoke with someone from MS and he did say that blackcombs name has changed to Vienna

**AlphaAlien** · 01-20-06, 06:50 PM

still a codename

I like Vienna sausage.

Vienna Sausages are good!

i think the Pie thing might be similar to the AveDesk thing?
