Windows XP to be discontinued in early 2008

[blade995]

I thought Vista was built from the ground up and the only thing it kept was the kernel. :?

 

 

 

I also thought that the next Windows would be an improved version of Vista like XP was to 2000.

 

 

 

I could be seriously wrong though. I got the information from digg like 6 months ago.

Windows Fiji, then Windows Vienna

 

 

 

May 1st, 2006

 

 

 

Windows codename Fiji, or Vista R2 is now scheduled to deliver before Windows Vienna. Windows Fiji is planned to be released in 2008, while Windows Vienna had its estimated release date in 2010. Due to the recent Windows Vista delay the domino effect could cause these other two versions of Windows to also be delayed, however the schedule disruption will not be significant.

 

 

 

So I guess Fiji will be the next Windows and will be an enhancement to Vista. Vienna will come after that. If this is all true, it seems like a lot is being crammed into just a few years. As you can see in the quote, this information is pretty old so maybe some of it has changed now.

I could easily be wrong too. I haven't researched the topic much at all. Pretty much all I "know" is what I read from that link I posted.

Oh yeah don't expect it to be done in the expected time anyway. Vista was delayed twice before it got released :wink: .

I'll stick with XP for a few years, then switch to Vista when it's almost time for it to get phased out, and then switch to a different OS because I'm angry at microsoft.

i'll switch to vista when its easier to pirate, because all OS's should be free, like linux.
