"Bringing Clarity to World" is the so called Tagline for Windows Vista

Is there any clarity in future of windows ???

Microsoft is day dreaming and having proposed the Next version of Vista Codename "Blackcomb" to be seen in 2010 !

Last time anyone in this Earth saw a Operating System from Micro$oft was half a decade ago (2001 October) since then Micr$ofts so called next Generation Operating System codename "Longhorn" Official name Windows Vista is in News and all for the Wrong reasons. I was introduced to Linux some time in 2002 my First Linux Operating System was Redhat 7.2 since then Redhat has come a long way and released about 7 Major Version yes that right seven !


Redhat 8,9, Fedora Core 1,2,3 & 4. Fedora Core 5 is on it way, almost every 6 months there a Major Release is out, the Power of Open Source I would say. A company like Microsoft who claimed to be a Leader in Software Industry is not able to relase a single Major Operating System since October 2001 upto today !

Next Windows to be seen in Late 2007 !

Till then Happy Windows XP SP2 ! :)

So far they have only managed to create new Desktop Theames and give it a fancy name like "AeroGlass". Copying the concepts from Mac os and giving new names like "Virtual Folder". and force customer to have a High End rig to Experience the Desktop Wallpaper !
The Minimun System requrement is RAW Shit, need atleast 512 MB Ram, external Graphics adapter of 128 MB and sits comfortably in 6 Gig of the HDD drive !

Oh Yes Mr.Gates, Good One.

I am right now running on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition, far better than win xp sp 2 in terms of Perfomance, my rig is a P3 500 Mhz so there is a clear difference. To hold major clients of Windows 2003 they took survey form their major clients and come up with a Extension for Win 2003 called Windows 2003 R2 (Release 2).

It is time user have realised there are other great options like Mac OS 10.4, Red Hat Fedora Core 4, Suse Professional 9.0.

Now, Is this the End of Windows ?

More than Half of Windows Vista to be Re coded.

"Up to 60% of the code in the new consumer version of Microsoft new Vista operating system is set to be rewritten as the Company "scrambles" to fix internal problems, according to this report. In an effort to meet a deadline of the 2007 CES show in Las Vegas Microsoft has pulled programmers from the highly succesful Xbox team to help resolve many problems associated with entertainment and media centre functionality inside the OS. Much more at the link."
