Im bettin 2014 for Vista SP1 and 2020 for the next bloatware OS]]>Feb 15th 2007 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/Feb 15th 2007 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/
Cairo, Chicago, Vienna, Blackcomb, Whistler were/are internal project names for various Windows releases.]]>Feb 19th 2007 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/Feb 15th 2007 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/
To be honest, I hope they focus more on improving Vista instead of getting a new Windows ready for release. My logic for buying Vista was that it is something I would use nearly every day for several years, so it was easily worth the price. If this Vienna thing comes out in 2009 (only two years after Vista compared to the 4-5 years I used XP), I'm going to feel a little screwed.]]>Feb 15th 2007 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/
Vienna is still Blackcomb to me. Funny how they tell them to stop making the revolutionary Windows OS and make the perty one. Vista is mostly a skin and with some Blackcomb things patched on. Still waiting on Fiji before I give it another try.]]>Feb 15th 2007 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/
* A major release every four years (XP, Vista)
* An initial service pack (fixes only) the following year after a major release (SP1)
* An R2 release (feature pack and fixes) every two years after a major release (XP SP2, Server 2003 R2). These releases may or may not be charged

While roadmaps are necessarily dynamic to accommodate the changing landscape, this roadmap does seem to make sense from a development point-of-view. To expect a major new release only two years after Vista I would expect to be too optimistic. To expect an R2 release to re-introduce the features that didn't make the cut so that Vista could actually make it out the door before 2010 sounds reasonable and would be what I would expect.

So 2010 = 2014?]]>Feb 15th 2007 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/Feb 15th 2007 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/

"Man are we excited about Windows Vista! It is great and has over 700 million new features.

oh yeah...one more thing!

Our next OS due out in 2009 is going to be an upgrade from the vista OS. If you are afraid to upgrade, then dont be, because the transition will be easier/smoother."]]>Feb 15th 2007 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/15/microsoft-puts-the-kibosh-on-2009-vienna-rumors/
