Windows "Vienna" (formerly known as Blackcomb) is a codename for a future version of Microsoft Windows, originally announced in February 2000, that has been subject to major delays and rescheduling. It is expected to be the successor to both Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Microsoft has announced it will be released in 2009, and according to "Smart Computing In Plain English", a technology magazine, work on it began right after Windows Vista was released. As of February 2007, the name of the operating system used internally is undisclosed and is not used publicly by Microsoft.
Buzz is that this future version of Windows will likely be available in 64-Bit Edition only so the Microsoft fans opting for the current Vista version might as well buy the 64-bit platform so as to eradicate the need of switching processors in 2K9.
