Microsoft: Vista follow-up likely in 2009
Source: InfoWorld
_____________
With Vista just out the door, Microsoft is now drawing up plans to deliver its follow-up client operating system by the end of 2009, according to the executive in charge of building the product's core components.

That would be a much faster turn-around than Vista, which shipped more than five years after Windows XP, but Vista was exceptional, said Ben Fathi, corporate vice president of development with Microsoft's Windows Core Operating System Division this week at the RSA Conference in San Francisco.

I'm just running the "Microsoft PWNS You" version. Right now, my toilet is locked up with a Blue Screen and won't flush. I have to wait for a new firmware upgrade in the tank...

No they will just deduct the same amount you paid for Vista again from your debit/credit card.

Why even upgrade to Vista now? If you look at a company perspective, it is pointless to upgrade to Vista. The company I work for is going to deploy Vista by 2008. If MS is going to have a new OS by 2009 they might as well wait.

The only reason IMHO to switch now is for DX10. I think MS knows that too.
