I think this is impossible. a legacy of microsoft? being removed? it can be done in my opinion. i think a revamp of the os is inevitable but changing the name may not. let's just see what happen's next

I dont think micorsoft will stop, making operating systems, until something goes wrong in the company, someone who cant be replaced dies, or people stop buying microosoft OSs

One thing's sure for me. So long as the basics of Microsoft's OS remains the same, I am very far away from it. Unless they can prove that the next OS they release will not be the next Vista, then I might consider it. Maybe. At the time being, I'm enjoying the change from Microsoft to Dell too much. It's so much better than Vista...

QUOTE(Echo_of_thunder @ Aug 6 2008, 05:19 PM)  Well Saint_Michael, I have to tell ya. Yes Say bye bye to windows. "in a way" Vista will be the last of the widows, then will come Longhorn. The next geration of widowns operating systems. Vista, was to be Longhorn at 1st but Microsoft decided to test it and to workout some of there Famous bugs 1st. They didnt relese it as a "bata" but are using it as such, if that makes any since.
From what I have heard and understand, Longhorn was to be a windows Server program but they kept working on it, and the higher ups in microsoft felt that it was time to do better. Longhorn was just the codename for the Windows Vista and Server 2008 projects until they decided on a name, if I am not mistaken. Now, if this midori deal happened, how would this work with the whole net-neutrality issue if it continues? Would we have to pay first for internet access, then for access to this midori, and then for a license for midori? If Microsoft switched to Midori and the ISPs charged more on top of the license fee, guess what! Everyone's moving to Linux!' I think that this would be a bad business choice for Microsoft to stop on Windows. They should just make a windows that everyone will like! Windows 95 was great, 98 was great, 2000 went over well, NT was... ehh. XP went over well. I personally have not used Vista, so I don't know what problems, if any, there are with it but I know that a lot of people seem unhappy with it. Either way, they should just make the next ones better for people and they'd be good to go.

Windows 7 sounds like a real crappy name for an OS. I mean c'mon even "Snow Leopard" is more creative than that! I personally think that Microsoft isn't going to do as well (and already seems like it) since Bill gates has stepped down from CEO or whatever his position was that earned him so much money. I think people will soon see Mac OS and Linux as dominant when it comes to operating systems, because of the security. Once a lot of software is made for the other operating systems, windows will go down the drain. I think Microsoft will still do ok, but i think it will definitely take a hit once (and now that) people look elsewhere from Windows.

Well, in the near future I can't see Microsoft losing it's customer base. The fact remains that Windows has by far the greatest program base, it's easy as crap to set up and run, and everyone likes Microsoft Office. Sure some of us go out and get Open Office, but that isn't what most are doing.

Well I don't think they be giving up on operating systems altogether, I am just saying that they will build a new operating system by scratch that has nothing to do with Windows core. It will be gear more towards internet data storage running applications through a server like a web application or a desktop application and on top of that start trimming down computer hardware just like Apple did with its new laptops and what not.

Its probably true, the problem with vista is that it was built on the same core as XP, but with so many addons the basic XP core couldn't handle it without a truely BEASTLY machine. If they completely redesign the workings of the operating system specificly for the new technology and graphics, there wouldn't be so many hardware issues. And the other problem with vista was they thought by taking the XP Security Center and making it more powerful, people would feel safer, but instead they overdid it and made it too powerful when all people wanted was to buy some virus software and continue on like they always had. So maybe they will cut back on some of the security, then again... if they redesign the core... anti-virus won't be available for it for months probably >.>

amounted to 899,000,000 € (or about $1.35 billion). CNET has a poll based on this, and about
56% of people voted for "too little". I voted on that myself. I think the EU should have taken
initiative for the US and Canada and raised it to 1.4 bn€ (billion euros), in my opnion.

Microsoft Claims They Can Pass The Acid 2 Test With Internet Explorer 8
(9) Although this would go to the other forum I have to say this is shocking news in the browser wars
since right now only Opera can render the Acid test successfully. Right now firefox hasn't been
able to meet that success yet nor has IE 6 or IE 7, and so if the IE 8 teams claims are true then in
2008 IE could make a comeback in the web standards war and the browsers wars. I watch the video
briefly and I have a funny feeling though they have set up the code in such a way that it cheats the
acid test because they broke down the code to the acid test and then they menti....

try to do—i can't stress this enough. I believe in open-source. Some people, even though
there may be an open-source alternative, will still choose to buy commercial software, so there
