Cnet.com reports that Microsoft plans to ship the next Windows Operating System within three years – 2010 that is.
The features for now:
- Consumer and Business versions (again 7 different ones?)
- 32-bit and 64-bit versions
- Subscription based model – Saas/ASP
I really, really hope until 2010 I have switched to Linux or MacOS on my desktops/laptops. And I am planing to avoid installing Windows Vista. There are just no features I would love.

Those news are from March of this year. So Microsoft already has changed the “planed release date” from 2009 to 2010 in just 4 months. And if you compare the “three years for Vista”, which ended in 5 years, Microsoft is going to have a hard time to hit the release in 2010.
