Wikipedia News

Windows 7, (formerly codenamed Blackcomb and later Vienna) is the working name for the next major version of Microsoft Windows as the successor to Windows Vista.[2] Microsoft has announced that it is "scoping Windows 7 development to a three-year timeframe", and that "the specific release date will ultimately be determined by meeting the quality bar."[3] Windows 7 is expected to be released in 3 June 2009.[4]

Windows 7 will ship in both client and server versions with the client versions available in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.[3] The server version of Windows 7 will be called Windows Server 2008 R2[5] and will be 64-bit only.

Microsoft gives up on Vista, Windows 7 to launch June

Microsoft has finally decided to give up on making users see the light on Vista as a lost cause. They are instead focusing on the next generation of Windows - Windows 7 as their only salvation.


Publicly, Microsoft has said Windows 7, the successor operating system to the firm's much maligned Windows Vista, will not ship until early 2010, but its internal calendar has June 3, 2009 as the planned release date. The beta of the software is to be released on October 27 at its Professional Developers Conference. Already Microsoft are working on the third major build, M3 (which are made prior to the beta).

Inside sources confirm that internal builds have already been made available to partners for hardware and software certification. Windows 7 is not a whole new OS but an evolution of Vista, and will reuse the old kernel and device driver model. That means it would use the kernel in its newer state, when Microsoft updated it with Vista's first service pack. It also means existing device drivers for Vista will work on Windows 7.

besides the initial hefty system requirement for vista back in 2006/07, what is so bad about it now? and what kind of improvements that vienna can offer?

it should be more faster, less problems than Vista and more spec

That's what they always say when new versions coming in.

"it should be more faster, less problems than ME and more spec"

"it should be more faster, less problems than XP and more spec"

"it should be more faster, less problems than Windows 3.11 and more spec"

first - you interpret it wrong - Vienna is based on Vista, it is not a replacement, yet, and it may introduce more problems than Vista did, Microsoft releases are always like that. Second the isn't from Microsoft - hence it is not official. third, Vienna is still in very early stage. Microsoft will definitely drop/add stuff to Vienna.

It is meant to replace Vista in a long run... Like Vista meant to replace XP after the extended support ended.
That means it is still a long way before Vista will be replaced by the outcome of project Vienna.

No one will know the actual outcome of project Vienna until the CTP releases...

just informing as what I read along the webs, I opened this topic to talk about what we know, believe and what we are thinking.

The Milestone 3 has been out, and they're "upgrading" Wordpad and Paint with Ribbon UI... lol

So fast giving up Vista. Guess Vista is a failure....

I don't buy this one bit. Talking in Microsoft own forum, the exec there are suprised with the Wiki entry. And remember how fast Longhorn hit Milestone 4? Considering at the time Longhorn was not even based on XP people were surprised on how fast it went, but it was bogged down to 2007.
And hey! you need a machine faster than the one that currently running vista to run Vienna.
Whoever the moron who think up of this just because he's a vista hater don't take that in consideration did they?

Various news said it is juz an upgraded Vista with more stability, faster, etc. I hope the drivers is compatible with vista hardware or else need to buy new hardware again.

Windows 7 Damn Worst

you are welcome...well for me
window 7 is just like window vista
not much different

Lol, if it's like that then they should have named it Vista 2 ..

vista 2?!!!

cannot la....sound so cheap
that why they name it Vienna

hahaha

Anyone expecting big interface leaps really needs to be patient. UI is likely to be unchanged or finalised until pretty late in to the beta process.
