Windows "Vienna" (formerly known as Blackcomb) is Microsoft's codename for a future version of Microsoft Windows, originally announced in February 2000, but has since been subject to major delays and rescheduling.
The code name "Blackcomb" was originally assigned to a version of Windows that was planned to follow Windows XP (codenamed "Whistler"; both named after the Whistler-Blackcomb resort) in both client and server versions. However, in August 2001, the release of Blackcomb was pushed back several years and Vista (originally codenamed "Longhorn" after a bar in the Whistler Blackcomb Resort) was announced as a release between XP and Blackcomb.Blackcomb was renamed Vienna in early 2006 and again renamed Windows 7 in 2007. In 2008, it was announced that Windows 7 would also be the official name of the operating system

Well "Vienna" is the codename given to Windows 7 as it was in Beta. "Vienna" is German
Microsoft Refers codename to Nature, Rare Used Words, Cites, Planets, Rare Metals, Colour and Scientific Words

This will sound crazy but lack of support for old hardware would be fantastic. That's one of the reasons Vista is slightly bloated, it's to keep those of you out there churning away on that give or six year old system happy (or any old hardware really). If you want the best, you stay on the cutting edge like me. I would have been perfectly happy if Vista didn't have support for... hardware older than three years. Supposedly Vienna will do away with backwards compatibility with older systems, hardware and software. Let's hope so. I really do hope so. Oh yeah, more pretty Visual effects. That'll work too. I don't really care about DRM because it doesn't limit me in what I do. So what, you need HDCP support and HDCP monitors to view HD-DVD or Blu-Ray content and... you don't have a monitor or video card that supports HDCP... then your computer sucks.
