What is the next OP system by microsoft?

I don't respect Microsoft when it comes to Windows because they release so much versions of what basically is the same product. They should take a look at Apple's Mac OS X which was released in one version which suited every body. I can't see why they can't just fling everything into the one version. Makes it a lot easier for them and their customers.

technically, 1. each . upgrade should be considered more like a service pack than a new os, because it isn't. it's the same os.

if anything, releasing more versions of os x shows how good the operating system really is. it's 8 years old just like XP, but instead of trying to rebuild the wheel every few years, apple takes a solution that works and just builds on top of it.

the biggest problem with every windows release is they change **** around for the sake of making it different. i really don't see why microsoft doesn't take the same approach apple did. people like xp. i'm sure microsoft would make the same amount of money from everyone buying xp package upgrades, like directx10 support, 64 bit, etc vs some of them buying vista.

I don't like Vista either and I'm also wondering how much better, if better at all, Windows 7 will be. It seams they have finally set a release date for Windows 7.

2010 isn't that early. I'm sure soon there will be upgrades in everything surrounding computers and speeds anyways so a new OS for them would b e good.

I didn't really like Vista. I installed it when it first came out but reinstalled xp pretty quickly after realising majority of drivers weren't made for vista yet. After half a year or so i gave it another shot and still didn't like it. Go xp

Interesting stuff.

I have vista installed for a few days I hated it, I am sure if I had gotten more use to it I would have liked it better tho. I still prefer XP.

Breeze? That sounds a little familiar? I think that is one of Adobe's names I believe one of macromedia's names actually. Well I am looking for a link but it seems they changed it to "Acrobat Connect" so who really knows.

There should be service pack for XP to support DX10, then we can scrap Vista.
