712084 2008-10-14 03:51:00 Windows Vista's successor will be called Windows 7. (windowsvistablog.com)

What do you guys think of the name?

712085 2008-10-14 04:06:00 Nah, should call it VISTA 2 ( We hopefully got it right this time!)

712086 2008-10-14 04:10:00 Windows 7 sounds fine.

I doubt they would want Vista in the name since it was a lemon like Windows ME was.

712087 2008-10-14 04:10:00 It's appropriate, assuming they increment the major version number. Win2k was 5.0, WinXP was 5.1, Vista was 6.0. Erayd (23)
712088 2008-10-14 04:17:00 Going by the fact that each successive "launch" seems to bring on more contempt for the MS product I figure they should just forget trying to hype it and just release yearly updates and market it for the year it was released.

Windows 2009
Windows 2010

etc etc

Its not as if any of them are a new product, Just more and more crap over top of the old crap.

712090 2008-10-14 04:22:00 I am sure that many other unsavoury names will be used in the wee small hours after it is out of the advertisers' hands and out there consuming electricity and generating expletives. ;) R2x1 (4628)

712092 2008-10-14 04:48:00 Windows 7! More than 6 but less than 8!
