Do you know about Windows Vienna?
If you don't here is some info.
The next version of Windows was originally codenamed "Blackcomb," the company renamed it to "Windows Vienna" in 2006. Windows Vienna is going to be a major release with a totally revised GUI.
Vienna is targeted at revolutionizing the way we interact with our PCs, for instance, the "Start" philosophy, introduced in Windows 95, may be completely replaced by a "new interface" which was said in 1999 to be scheduled for Blackcomb(Vienna), before being moved to the Longhorn(Vista) project, and then back to Blackcomb.
The Explorer shell is expected to be replaced in its entirety, with features such as the taskbar being replaced by a new concept based on years of research from Microsoft's "Vibe" lab. Projects such as GroupBar & LayoutBar are expected to make an appearance, and a new way of launching applications is expected - Microsoft is investigating a pie menu-type circular interface.
Microsoft says by the end of 2009 Vienna will hit the shelves.
Well it didn't give me anymore space to right in.
My question: do you know anything more about Windows Vienna and will there be any other Windows OS before Vienna.
In the past 20 years, the Microsoft Windows operating system has accumulated old code libraries that brought it to the size it has today, 2.5 GB and about 50 million lines of code (Windows Vista). These old code libraries consume resources and are often the targets of security exploits. The best way to avoid such problems, is to start from scratch, which is close to what Microsoft plans to do with Windows Vienna. Windows Vienna will represent the start of a different generation of operating systems, bringing in new concepts and support for new types of hardware, along with a better security and a modular approach, which will allow future versions of Windows to be built more easily on Windows Vienna's engine.
It is also likely that the future success of Microsoft's products will be strongly decided by the success of the new generation operating system.

Who cares? Apple will probably murder them by then. Who cares about the GUI, if it's still running on Windows, with "DLL Hell", it's going to be another piece of garbage.
