Vienna, The Vista Successor, Planned For Late 2009

Technology is running and so should your minds be if you want to keep pace with the competition which your competitors give you. Microsoft knows this business strategy and has already started work on the new OS, code named “Vienna”, even when Vista isn’t just 1 month old yet.

Vienna is planned to be launched around end of 2009. That means around two and a half years of work whereas Vista took five years, but Vista was exceptional, said Ben Fathi, corporate vice president of development with Microsoft’s Windows Core Operating System Division.

So what will be the coolest new feature in Vienna?

According to Fathi, that’s still being worked out. “We’re going to look at a fundamental piece of enabling technology. Maybe its hypervisors, I don’t know what it is,” he said. “Maybe it’s a new user interface paradigm for consumers.”

“It’s too early for me to talk about it,” he added. “But over the next few months I think you’re going to start hearing more and more.”
