Kind of fitting to name one of its products after a cocktail wheeney.

Are we taking bets on the likelihood of this materializing in 2009?

Ha, my bet goes for 2011!

I'm willing to bet it'll show up in '09. Only because MS' support for XP will expire at that point

Here, here! I love my Linux sooooooo much. It is nice to be productive and not need to chase the "functional" PC!

Thats what I say or 2012

maybe they think vista is like ME????

Canned for good reason?

Yea thats what Im worried about, Vista hasnt had alot of publicity and marketing just like ME almost to a T and god I hated that OS so much that I pulled it a day after I installed it because it was crap. 98 I liked, I wish it was still supported because it was the most stable, XP I like to and its almost as stable but I am looking for something new so I may install redhat onto the sata drive in my comp soon as I can figure out my mb's boot prefernce settings to give me the option to pick a hard drive to boot to.

Is Vienna supposed to be a replacement for Vista? What is the deal with already announcing the launch of another OS when they just launched this one? That is only two years from now yet XP was around for what - 5 or 6 years?

Because thats how they make money...

Knowing how delayed the stuff is, it probably wont be out in two years anyways (reminds me of Dish Network).

XP is still around. Running on most computers in use today. I really wish we had a choice of OS for new computers. Dell simply stopped offering it. Everything is some flavor of Vista. So hardware mfg's listen up--
I will wait until you bring back the option of XP before I buy another computer! I'm, happy with what I have now except I'd love to dump that athalon my wife has since it overheats so much. Maybe I'll buy her that XPS 1210 she wants and simply install XP on it.

In a way. I'd bet Vista isn't all that bad if all the drivers were ready. So maybe all I need to do is wait until next year.
