The next windows to be called ‘Windows 7′
According to the Vista Blog the next Windows is heading your way (in 2010 probably) called ‘Windows 7′. They’ve changed the naming scheme this time round for some reason. Instead of the catchy and meaningless names like XP and Vista its called ‘7′. So now Windows OS will be referred to as just ‘7′. I do hope, that 7 has something to offer to the majority of users (including me) who haven’t bothered to upgrade their XP installations to 6 or Vista as its called. I have actually thought about it but it never seemed worth all the hassle. According to this blog entry its to celebrate and hopefully reproduce their last success, Windows XP which was released 7 years ago. Truth be told I don’t really care. I’m hoping Ubuntu would have taken over the world by then.
By the way there’s the annual Microsoft PDC from Oct 27-30 in case you’re a Microsoft developer and in the US. More details on 7 and what it means for developers will be provided. Beware though, the site crashes Firefox. I don’t think its compatible with open source software…
