Paul Thurrott who writes a lot about technology, has his eyes firmly set on the next major version of Windows. Microsoft Windows Vista is currently stated to be released by the end of 2006:
“Though over a year away from completion, interest in Windows Vista (previously codenamed “Longhorn”), the next major Windows release, is growing at a fevered pitch. So in response to reader requests, I’ve created this Windows Vista Activity Center, a front-end to all of the Windows Vista/Longhorn-related content I’ve created for the SuperSite for Windows and other publications, including WinInfo and Windows IT Pro Magazine. From this single handy page, you’ll be able to access all of the reviews, the photo galleries, the movies, the technology showcases, the Windows Vista FAQ, and even articles I’ve written elsewhere. I’ll be updating this Activity Center regularly going forward, ensuring that it’s always up-to-date with the content you can only get here.”
