Vista is the last Windows
According to a prediction of market analysis company Gartner. Gartner produced the forecast that Windows Vista will be the last major release of a Microsoft operating system.
In fact, the prediction is fitted on the Microsoft's plans for future releases of the operating system. Representatives from the Redmond Company, starting with CEO Steve Ballmer and Chairman Bill Gates have revealed - while Windows Vista was still in its development stage - that the five year gap from XP to Vista will be a singular event in the company's history.
Gartner's prediction is focused on the monolithic deployments of the Microsoft operating systems. In this regard, Microsoft will reveal incremental updates to the operating system. According to Gartner, Microsoft will gear its process involving the development and release of operating systems toward a modular strategy.
The Windows development organization, headed by Steven Sinofsky, Senior Vice President, Windows and Windows Live Engineering, Microsoft will introduce more segmented upgrades to the operating systems. Windows Vista Release candidate 1 is planned for availability by the end of 2007. The next release of the operating system, be it Windows Fiji or Windows Vienna, is planned for 2008. // © 2006 DPA
