Microsoft: Vista follow-up likely in 2009
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
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. Last year, Microsoft said that the code name for this Vista follow-up is Vienna, but Fathi said he could not disclose the current name. "We've been told not to use it publicly," he said.
