Default Windows Vienna


Windows Vienna, the next after Vista, is starting to give me confusion on their website.

Windows Vienna - opening a new generation of operating systems

September 7, 2006

In the past 20 years, the Microsoft Windows operating system has accumulated old code libraries that brought it to the size it has today, 2.5 GB and about 50 million lines of code (Windows Vista). These old code libraries consume resources and are often the targets of security exploits. The best way to avoid such problems, is to start from scratch, which is close to what Microsoft plans to do with Windows Vienna. Windows Vienna will represent the start of a different generation of operating systems, bringing in new concepts and support for new types of hardware, along with a better security and a modular approach, which will allow future versions of Windows to be built more easily on Windows Vienna's engine.
It is also likely that the future success of Microsoft's products will be strongly decided by the success of the new generation operating system.
Does this message on the geekpedia Windows Vienna annoucements mean that most windows computers will become obselete? Just wondering

Heres the link to the website

i've read somewhere that Microsoft's R&D department was shifted on to overdrive for Vienna, and that the start menu and taskbar might be dumped, and pie menus implemented (not necessarily as a substitute).
