Windows Vienna is the new codename for Windows Blackcomb the successor to Windows Vista. Not much is known about Blackcomb officially and Microsoft has not given any details about Vienna
While Windows Vista is intended to be a technologies-based release, with some UI changes (in the form of the Aero set of technologies and guidelines), Vienna is targeted directly at revolutionizing the way we interact with our home and office PCs.
For instance, the “Start” philosophy, introduced in Windows 95, may be completely replaced by a “new interface” which was said in 1999 to be scheduled for Blackcomb, before being moved to the Longhorn project, and then back to Blackcomb. The interface involved some ideas based upon truely 3D Windows and an intergration of what is now known as Sidebar.
The Explorer shell is expected to be replaced in its entirety, with features such as the taskbar being replaced by a new concept based on the last 10 years of research from Microsoft’s “Vibe” lab. Projects such as GroupBar and LayoutBar are expected to make an appearance, allowing users to more effectively manage and keep track of their applications and documents while in use, and a new way of launching applications is expected – among other ideas, Microsoft is investigating a pie menu-type circular interface, similar in function to Apple’s dock feature.
All features are speculation and rumour at this point. However, with Vista arriving so late (5 years after Windows XP) – will Microsoft be able to deliver Vienna in 2.5 years (2009) is what time will tell.
MS should be able to launch Vienna within 2.5 yrs after vista as you see vista was launched 2.5 yrs after XP SP2 was launched. So taking 2.5 yrs here will not be that big deal!
As far as vista working is concerned, even I haven’t checked it too.

i think windows vista is far …………….far……………….far……………better than any other OS in terms of security ,performance,and everything .people who thinks vista is very “HEAVY ” OS are wrong.It’s best even for P4 but should have 512 MB RAM atleast and 32 MB VRAM(graphics card memory) for vista home basic and for other vistas,well VRAM should atleast 128 MB.Core 2 Duo computers are EXCELLENT for vista.
