Anyone heard anything about this new OS? It's scheduled to come out in 2010 it sounds like. I didn't want to buy Vista anyway, I'll just wait a couple more years to see what 7 is like.

| Quote: | Bill Gates, in an interview with Newsweek, suggested that the next version of Windows would "be more user-centric."[10] When asked to clarify what he meant, Gates said:
“ That means that right now when you move from one PC to another, you've got to install apps on each one, do upgrades on each one. Moving information between them is very painful. We can use Live Services to know what you're interested in. So even if you drop by a [public] kiosk or somebody else's PC, we can bring down your home page, your files, your fonts, your favorites and those things. So that's kind of the user-centric thing that Live Services can enable. [Also,] in Vista, things got a lot better with [digital] ink and speech, but by the next release there will be a much bigger bet. Students won't need textbooks; they can just use these tablet devices. Parallel computing is pretty important for the next release. We'll make it so that a lot of the high-level graphics will be just built into the operating system. So we've got a pretty good outline. |

Sounds interesting. As someone who's been thinking about buying a new computer (with vista) I wonder if it will be a stepping stone like Windows ME was or if it will be a long term product like XP.
If they're saying 2010 release that will almost always get pushed back. Possibly even canceled all together.
