Yes. The new version is scheduled tentatively for 2010 and will be the next version after Vista. There are a couple of code names for it like Vienna and Blackcomb, but supposedly they've decided to call it Windows 7 as you said, at least for now until the next name is decided.

Vista only really works if your computer comes with it/made for it. The reason it was a failure is because if you convert from XP to vista it just doesnt work.

First I like your avatar and yes I bought my alienware when vista came out with the 64 bit which is great for running Crysis @ 40fps with the resolution really high

I have Vista on my laptop (came with it) and it runs great! My son (the computer god that he thinks he is) says that it's something to do with the processor/ram something like that. He said that if you are simply doing an upgrade that you need to upgrade one of those also or it will run like crap. I don't know, somebody that does may be able to fill in the blanks here.

Proble with vista is that it uses a lot of ram and the minimum you should have is at least 2 gb, but 1 gb can be enough but a lot slower...I have 12 gb of ddr2 ram since it got really cheap, so I have no problem with running vista
Forget running vista on a single core

thanks on the avatar compliment.. and your son is right about the ram/processor the processor is most important if you have a high-performance processor or just a nicr one , it will run well and lock up less. I have an Intel dual core processor (like 2 in 1) and Intel is top of the line. Also I have 1 gig of Ram and thats probably the least I would go. eventually I would like to upgrade to 2 or 3 gigs, and RAM helps if you have lots of windows open at once (ex. iTunes, Word, Internet, Email all at once) your computer could run slowly, and be more likely to lock up if you dont have enough RAM . Also you need a good graphics card for Vsta, one with some extra room (I have 512 MB, regular is 128-256 MB) because the visual part of Vista looks cool but is very demanding
thats my Vista lesson for the day...
