Microsoft's next version of Windows, aka Longhorn, is now called Windows Vista. According to CNet Reviews, Windows Vista takes a page out of Microsoft's competitors of Apple's Mac OSX and Linux. Beta 1 is just a programmer's version, the 2nd beta will be out apparently before end of this year. And the release should be according to Microsoft, sometime in the middle of next year. Apparently, Microsoft is also saying that they are scrutinizing every line of code in Windows and will reduce the number of patches compared to Windows XP by 50%. Anyways, we'll see what happens. Most people still run Windows 98 and 2000, and since Microsoft has said they will discontinue support for 2000, does this mean people will upgrade to Vista when it comes out?
