Windows Vista™ - Next version of Windows desktops
Tuesday, 02-August-2005

 

Finally Microsoft has announced that the next generation applications will run on Windows Vista. Windows Vista™ (formerly code named Longhorn) is the next version of Windows desktop OS after Windows XP. 

Windows VISTA will also include a wave of new products

  • WinFX. A managed-code programming model
  • Windows Presentation Foundation (formerly Avalon). Microsoft’s unified presentation subsystem for Windows
  • Windows Communication Foundation (formerly Indigo). Microsoft’s next-generation Web services technology
  • Aero. The new Windows Vista design philosophy

 

Windows Vista™  is scheduled to launch in the second half of 2006. Microsoft also says that their are numerous enhancements in Windows Vista, including better security, graphics and computing over the Web.  Some screen shots are available here and those who want to get a personal experience then you can download Windows Vista™ Beta 1 from MSDN subscription site. (2.5 GB image) Since this beta release is not for the mass, I have decided to wait and watch for some time before downloading the BETA.

Charlie Russel gives an good overview of how to make hardware decisions now that will leave you in the best possible position when Windows Vista ships

The General option of developers around the world was that they did not like this new name of Windows; they say it should longhorn or Windows XP 2006, what’s your opinion?           “Use Add comment to write your opinion”
