Slashdot were calling it Windows Se7en. I don't think it will be that kind of horror story- I actually do think they will deliver much of the nice things we were promised for Vista. But, time will tell.

That's standard, they are probably already working on the successor of 'Seven' already, maybe not on real code yet, but thinking about features and stuff.

And if they already started with the code they can easily fix the bugs that are found while working on Vista in the next version.

No no http://imdb.com/title/tt0114369/

Are they 50 million new lines?

Anyway, that's what, 10000 lines per developer? restricted to SMOP that'd be threeish months work [of course, there's a lot more than a simple matter of programming, because of those wonderful things called testing and revision cycles].

i was refering to windows using it. its bad enough they still make money and havent been destroyed or gone out of buniness. and then there's the crappy name's, that wouldnt really help i dont think, in my eyes it would be about as popular as the london olymics logo.

Awww, it's kind of nice they are letting blind people draw the logo. They are part of the world too!

Have you ever tried to think of a descriptive name for an operating system? Still, that name was just asking for bad Seinfield jokes etc.

Microsoft certainly have the resources to do something extraordinary with the next release, but I don't think they will. Even if they do, I'd still enjoy watching them suffer a net loss. I'd like to kick them in the pants for a few things. At least until they show some humility and respect for their customers.

well, it was supposed to be the next windows, and Vista was just supposed to be a middle OS, but then Vista took longer and longer, more and more people were needed to redo XP, and they want money.
so, this is it.
