Windows ‘Vienna’: successor to Vista coming 2009
by DJ Neawedde | 11th February 2007
Windows “Vienna” (formerly known as Blackcomb) is Microsoft’s codename for the future post-Vista version of Microsoft Windows. Still short on details, the new OS is due for 2009. As Ben Fathi, Microsoft ’s executive vice president of development says, “You can think roughly two, two-and-a-half years is a reasonable time frame that our partners can depend on and can work with.” Window Vista, which was launched at the end of January, was over 2 years late and took a solid 6 years to develop.

[…] This would put it at 2010. Well, they’re already behind apparently since Microsoft ’s executive vice president of development Ben Fathi said this in February: “You can think roughly two, two-and-a-half years is a reasonable time frame that our partners can depend on and can work with.” A release date change from two to three years? In only 5 months? I think we can count on more pushback for this OS too.
