Only one source I could find - The NY Times - is saying today that MS has officially announced the next version of Windows will be named "Windows 7". Perhaps it just wasn't news to anyone else, but I know here on the list we've been speculating if they might not just call it "New Vista" or something.
I think it was BillG that was responsible for departing from version numbers back with Windows 95; apparently with him out of the way reason has prevailed.? >The new version will instead be branded Windows 7, because it is the >seventh of a long line of operating systems for PCs developed by the >company since the 1980s. The company did not say when it would sell >Windows 7 to the public. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/29/technology/business-computing/29soft.html?th&emc=th ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
