Vista Followup Already in the Works
DesertBlade passed us an InfoWorld article, which has the news that Microsoft is already hard at work on the next version of Windows ... and we may see it as early as 2009. Possibly codenamed Vienna, the next Windows iteration will be coming a brief two and a half years after Vista's launch. This is the same timeframe Microsoft claims it would have utilized for Vista, had they not put Longhorn 'on the back burner' to deal with security issues in XP. Corporate Vice President of Development Ben Fathi is already discussing features for the next OS: "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."
What choice do they have? Be is out of the picture, and Linux is still playing catch-up to Solaris.

Hi, Twitter! Good to see you. Farming with this account again, after you managed to get eight Troll mods in a row with your main one, eh? I was very impressed at that, good going! Anyway, to business, we can't sit around here, chatting about 'old times', eh?
Hello to you too. Don't have enough mod points to nuke more than one account at a time? Awwwww, so sad. Things might not go the way your corporate masters want. It's funny how a few people with a little time on their hands can show up billions of dollars worth of marketing bullshit.
Keep it up Erris and don't listen to these turds.
