Story: Vista's successor rechristened Vienna
Posted by: Anonymous (Wednesday 22 March 2006, 10:10 PM)
Microsoft is not "setting its sights" on the successor to Vista, Blackcomb was originally the successor to XP, and set to release in 2005. Longhorn was introduced a few years ago as an interim release between XP and Blackcomb. Hence the code names: Longhoorn saloon is between Whistler (XP) and Blackcomb ski resorts.
That's the kind of facts readers need, not this made-up pap phraseology about Microsoft setting its sights on the successor, even though Vista is delayed. That is NOT what is happening
