    Microsoft Windows Vienna / Windows 7 : The New OS
    Windows “Vienna” (formerly known as Blackcomb) is Microsoft’s codename for a future version of Microsoft Windows, originally announced in February 2000, but has since been subject to major delays and rescheduling.
    The code name “Blackcomb” was originally assigned to a version of Windows that was planned to follow Windows XP (codenamed “Whistler”; both named after the Whistler-Blackcomb resort) in both client and server versions. However, in August 2001, the release of Blackcomb was pushed back several years and Vista (originally codenamed “Longhorn” after a bar in the Whistler Blackcomb Resort) was announced as a release between XP and Blackcomb.

    Since then, the status of Blackcomb has undergone many alterations and PR manipulations, ranging from Blackcomb being scrapped entirely, to becoming a server-only release. As of 2006, it is still planned as both a client and server release with a current release estimate of anytime between 2009 and 2012, although no firm release date or target has yet been publicized.

    Is Vienna going to be better than Vista? I've heard quite a bit of negative things about Vista?

    "a current release estimate of anytime between 2009 and 2012". Longhorn's release was delayed for several time, until it was renamed to Vista and released.
