No. The planned successor to "Whistler" (NT 5.1, sold as WinXP) was "Blackcomb", the planned NT 6. After over-running several years, MS started planning an intermediary release, based on the Windows 2003 Server kernel, codenamed "Longhorn". In the end "Longhorn" became Windows Vista and "Blackcomb" was cancelled and never became a product. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_Windows_Vista -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: [email protected] ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: [email protected] Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
