The new Windows is soon to be here, and will replace big-bloated vista hopefully sooner than expected.

Being hard at work, the techs at Microsoft has released word that it'll most likely be released in 2010.

It will come with a yet again new user interface and a re-written 50 million lines of codes. It was initially known as "Blackcomb" then Vienna.

Additionally new file system will be added:

It was announced by our good ole' Bill that the next version of Windows would "be more user-centric."

When asked to clarify what he meant, Gates said:
"That means that right now when you move from one PC to another, you've got to install apps on each one, do upgrades on each one. Moving information between them is very painful. We can use Live Services to know what you're interested in. So even if you drop by a [public] kiosk or somebody else's PC, we can bring down your home page, your files, your fonts, your favorites and those things. So that's kind of the user-centric thing that Live Services can enable. [Also,] in Vista, things got a lot better with [digital] ink and speech, but by the next release there will be a much bigger bet. Students won't need textbooks; they can just use these tablet devices. Parallel computing is pretty important for the next release. We'll make it so that a lot of the high-level graphics will be just built into the operating system. So we've got a pretty good outline."


But as usual, this project can be dropped well before 2010, its expected release date, as this is a revamp and a new line of windows "series"

That's not exactly the most innotative thing ever.

I mean, Opera (9.5) already does half of that.

I have yet to see where Vista is bloat? It just efficiently uses memory so that things it expects you to use are ready for you..unlike slow ___ XP.

I wonder if there's a religion, where the people praise Microsoft.

That question can be answered by looking at the other cliques, like Mac and Ubuntu flavored linux. I think that answers it fairly well :P.

eh. Don't expect Microsoft to release anything innovative before Apple does. Perfect example is:

I don't see MAC inventing an easy to use home server operating system. MAC is the unix based system, it should be easier for them then Microsoft. WHS is like no other product.

Mac has Mac OS X server, which is the server version of Mac OS X. Works perfectly fine and runs on Intel.

Otherwise, OS X is BSD. Just install apache and whatever you want as you would on FreeBSD.
