Nah. 

"Mojave" was just an advertising gimmick designed to highlight the fact
that, given no predisposition to hate it, users like Vista. There was no
attempt to rename Vista to Mojave.

And Windows 7 is just the name of the next version. There was never any
intent to carry the Vista name beyond the current release. It's not running
away, any more than "Vista" was an attempt to run away from "XP".

Now, don't mistake me: I imagine that MS will be very happy when the Vista
name is consigned to history. But using a new name for the next version has
nothing to do with that. MS always uses a new name for new releases.
